No one denies the fact that the people of the Soviet Union experienced a famine from 1932 to 1933. Rather, we argue against the anti-communist conspiracy that claims that the famine was a deliberate policy aimed at suppressing the nationalist spirit of the Ukrainian people. (1/7)
The working class of this country will not settle for "both parties are the same" or "voting is useless."
This is nonsense.
We have too much on the line in this election: voting rights, abortion, trans rights, union rights.
Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.
Today marks the 1️⃣0️⃣5️⃣ anniversary of the October Revolution, an event that would fundamentally change the course of history.
The Bolshevik Party, under the leadership of Lenin, overturned the provisional government and replaced it with a new government of and by working people.
Since the 1950s, rich anti-communist Americans such as William Randolph Heart and various Ukrainian nationalists who collaborated with the Nazis during Hitler’s occupation in the early 1940s, have worked tirelessly with the capitalist press to spread these fraudulent claims.(2/7)
The reality is that the collectivization of agriculture in the Soviet Union was one of the greatest achievements of socialism. The beneficiaries of this project, the Soviet people, who lived longer, ate more calories, and saw the elimination of periodic famines. (7/7)
The reality is that the Soviet Union suffered periodic famines for more than a millennium due to economic backwardness and complex environmental factors. In an effort to overcome this backwardness, the CPSU introduced a policy aimed at the socialization of agriculture. (3/7)
Unfortunately, this progressive policy encountered opposition from wealthy farmers (called kulaks) who sought to increase their profits by refusing to supply food to cities at prices set by the government (while also destroying farming equipment & slaughtering livestock).(4/7)
Today marks 100 years since the birth of the USSR, the world's first socialist state where capitalist exploitation was eliminated and power belonged to the working class people.
Through rationing systems (and other large-scale relief campaigns), the USSR managed to feed more than 50 million people, which enabled them to produce a large harvest in 1933 thus put an end to famines in the Soviet Union, with an exception in 1946. (6/7)
This combined with the region’s susceptibility to famine resulted in a situation wherein the government procured less food than it had in years prior. This created an environment wherein hunger and related disease existed, particularly in Ukraine and Kazakstan. (5/7)
Today we celebrate 104 years since the Great October Revolution.
May the pioneering example of the Bolsheviks continue to guide us in the struggle for peace, democracy and socialism!
In a historic defeat for the forces of fascism, Lula has won the presidential election in Brazil.
This is a major victory for progressive & democratic movements around the world.
Now, let’s prepare to deliver another defeat of fascism at home on November 8th.
Lenin's statement on how the ruling class hounds revolutionaries while they are alive & then, after their death, seeks to convert them into harmless icons holds true for Dr. King.
So as we celebrate MLK Day let's celebrate the real legacy of Dr. King, the revolutionary. (1/5)

in 1949, African freedom fighter and Marxist-Leninist theorist, Thomas Sankara, was born.
May his revolutionary example continue to guide and inspire us on the road to socialism.
From the beginning, the struggle for women’s liberation has had strong roots in the communist movement.
This is why on this International Women's Day, we remember the extraordinary progress won by decades of struggle from communist women.

Today we celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Communist Manifesto. One of the most-read books of all time, it continues to inspire the masses of working people around the world as the working class guide for changing the world. (1/2)
What does the Communist Party USA have to do w/bourgeois elections? Simple. We are small-d democrats, meaning that we believe in DEMOCRACY. We believe in expanding the franchise to as many people as possible.
That’s precisely what the ultra-right is trying to take away from us.
Today we reiterate our respect of and support for the independent indigenous nations movement's democratic demands for complete equality, recognition of treaty rights, restitution and control over land back, resources and capital in forms they deem appropriate.
Across the country, we are witnessing a wave of anti-LGBT violence.
Make no mistake: the far-right’s war on transgender people is a part of a much larger effort to strip our working class of its democratic rights.
