Be Our Beloved Comrade
You can be our Beloved Comrade, if and only if:
-
You want to contribute something good for humanity, particularly the working class and the disadvantaged;
֍
-
You are ready to learn and understand that the general social welfare and your personal welfare are organically interlinked; and mass-wretchedness won’t make you great or secure or healthy;
֍
-
You stand for the CAUSE of general human welfare and not for your SELF-AGRANDISEMENT;
֍
-
You are open to learning;
֍
-
You have not shelved the tool of Dialectical Materialism and/or in case you don’t know or understand it, you are ready to learn it and use it for furthering your understanding and learning;
֍
-
You are not adamant on your views and opinions and you welcome any scientific criticism pertaining to your practice and theory;
֍
-
You like to provide objective facts, well-founded observations and in-depth logic in your arguments instead of furnishing judgments or misinformation or confusions of some other vested interests or petit-bourgeoisie intellectuals that you happen to admire for some reason;
֍
-
You are open to change your views in light of logical insights and further learning;
֍
-
You are not rowdy or violent in behavior in discussions, arguments, learning, etc., but listen to others expositions, arguments and logical statements with patience;
֍
-
You are not abusive against the historical founders of any religion or any philosophers or scientists of the past, e.g. Moses, Pythagoras, Lao Tzu, Mahavir, Buddha, Confucius, Christ, Muhammad, Nanak and Sikh Gurus—or any of their tribal or cultural values, for example, how many wives anyone of them had, how old were his wives, etc., for your own ancestors all over the world were polygamous, polyandrous, and they also married small children—see Engels’ “The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State” in this regard;
֍
-
Instead of wasting your and others’ time about the issues of child marriage, prostitution, violence, wars, loots, plunders, atrocities against women, outrages against humanity, etc., centuries ago, you are 100% concerned about such issues in your own contemporary world, and you are ready to contribute your bit to change your own contemporary world, without making any lamentations about what people of the past did or how they lived;
֍
-
You are not a religious or non-religious fanatic;
֍
-
You are ready to study or learn history as a Theatrical Drama, in which both or all parties are represented logically and ideologically at their respective best, and without any bias, in the dialectical materialist perspective;
֍
-
You are ready to understand mythologies, religions, religious movements, historical campaigns, movements and events in the light of dialectical materialism;
֍
-
More than 90% of your speech, thought, activity and purpose is concentrated on the people, issues, conditions, wretchedness, “affluence”, events, movements, history, struggles, successes, failures, achievements, losses, etc., in your own native country, and just 10% or lesser about USSR, Russia, China, Cuba, etc., as far their failures are concerned;
֍
-
You are ready to know about and realize the positive developments and contributions to the world humanity made by the Bolshevik Revolution, Chinese Revolution, Cuban Revolution, etc.; for example, most probably, you owe your education itself to the Bolsheviks; you and your parents and grandparents might have remained uneducated, like their ancestors before the Bolshevik Revolution, had Bolshevik Revolution not taken place;
֍
-
You don’t blame Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Rosa Luxembourg, Mao Tse Tung, etc., for the wretchedness prevalent in your own country or even in your own family or the entire world;
֍
-
You are not bigoted against Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Rosa Luxembourg, Mao Tse Tung, and other historical personages—and you are willing to understand them in their own national and global times, places, and circumstances;
֍
-
You are ready, in light of dialectical materialism, to learn and understand classes, class natures, class potentials, class capabilities, class inabilities, class cultures, class interests, class ideologies, class organizations, class compromises, class conflicts, class struggles, and class aims;
֍
-
You don’t continue pretending to lament about the treatment given to Louis XIV and other feudal lords by the French Revolutionaries or Russian Tsar and his family members and others by the Bolsheviks, or Nicolae and his wife Elena by the Romanian rebels, or Sadam and his sons by those that overthrew his regime, or Gaddafi and Company by the ones that vanquished his power. It is none of your journalistic or philosophical or professional business to grieve or induce others to grieve about such things, and label any Revolutionaries as murderers. It was for the people at the helm of affairs in each particular case to decide, and you were not available there with your office of wisdom to provide them assurances and good counsels—just as I was not present when the marriage of your parents was performed. They didn’t invite me nor was I required to be there. Consequently, I can’t tell you whether your mother married a good or a bad man, and whether their marriage to each other was suitable or not;
֍
-
You are ready to learn and understand that every place, every country is a part of the world, and there is a dialectical relation between part and the whole, i.e. global conditions, campaigns, events, etc., influence local ones, and vice versa;
֍
-
And finally, you have no second opinion about:
“Though not in substance, yet in form, the struggle of the proletariat with the bourgeoisie is at first a national struggle. The proletariat of each country must, of course, first of all settle matters with its own bourgeoisie.
֍
“The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organized as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible.
֍
“Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property.
֍
“Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
֍
“Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
֍
“Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State;
֍
“The communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”
