Why is the Communist Party of the Russian Federation a party of oligarchs and not communists? The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not a communist party

We have already written many times about that disgrace for the entire world communist movement, about that knife in the back of the working class, which is called the “Communist Party of the Russian Federation”.

We know for sure that the world socialist revolution, the world working class, has no more vile enemy than Zyuganov’s Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

But because how the communist movement develops in Russia, the first country of socialism, depends to a large extent the entire world communist movement.

The combat effectiveness of the entire world proletariat largely depends on how combat-ready the Russian proletarians are - the descendants of that same Russian proletariat who were the first in the world to throw off the oppression of the bourgeoisie.

This is how it happened historically. We are the first country of socialism, and the eyes of the entire proletariat are still fixed on us. The entire working class of the world has looked up to us and will look up to us.

When the Great October Socialist Revolution took place, the entire world working class rose in spirit and was filled with determination to fight for its liberation.

When at the 20th Congress the Khrushchevite traitors began to denigrate Stalin and in his person the dictatorship of the proletariat, this caused confusion and confusion among everyone communist parties peace. This demoralized the entire world proletariat, weakened it and strengthened its enemies.

And when Perestroika happened, when the bourgeois counter-revolution won in our country, the working class of the whole world was dealt a terrible blow, from which it could not recover for two decades and only now is gradually beginning to regain its determination and will to fight.

And vice versa. When the Russian proletariat regains its fighting ability, when it transforms from a demoralized and passive mass, submissive to the bourgeoisie, into an army of conscious fighters for socialism, when it creates its own proletarian party, this will again inspire the entire working class of the world. When the proletarians of the world learn that the Russian working class, the descendants of Lenin and Stalin, are again ready for battle, this will be a powerful impetus for a new upsurge of the entire communist movement.

So, the state of the entire world labor movement depends on the state of the Russian labor movement.

And so, Zyuganov’s Communist Party of the Russian Federation is doing everything possible to ensure that the Russian proletariat never rises from the state of lack of will and submissiveness of the bourgeoisie, so that it can never begin the struggle for its liberation.

And this means that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is a knife in the back of the entire global working class.

This means that she is the most terrible enemy of the world communist movement and the world socialist revolution.

None have consistent thinking communist no hope that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation can be corrected, reformed, changed.

You cannot make a party of conscious proletarian internationalists out of a bourgeois party, a party of ordinary people, bourgeois patriots, chauvinists. Enemies of the working class, provocateurs whose only task is to lead the labor movement into a dead end, cannot be made into leaders of the working class, leading it to a revolutionary uprising against the power of capital.

The current Communist Party of the Russian Federation is, in essence, the half-dead body of the late Soviet, Khrushchev-Brezhnev CPSU.

The late Soviet, degenerated, Khrushchev-Brezhnev CPSU in fact had one task - to distract the attention of the working people from the ongoing processes of creeping counter-revolution, to lull their vigilance with rattling phrases and not allow them to notice that the dictatorship of the proletariat was being abolished, that a new bourgeoisie was emerging and strengthening.

In a word, that Soviet socialism, achieved by such heroism and sacrifice by their fathers, is being destroyed.

That is, the main task of the late CPSU was to facilitate the counter-revolution, to help the bourgeoisie strengthen itself and seize power.

Today, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which emerged from its corpse, has the same task as the late CPSU. There is only one difference. The late CPSU deceived the working class and distracted it so that the new Soviet bourgeoisie could seize power. And the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is now deceiving and distracting the working class - so that the current Russian bourgeoisie can hold on to power.

And we have no illusions that a half-corpse can come to life - turn into a living and healthy, militant party of the working class. No - this half-corpse will continue to rot and further demoralize the workers. Therefore, the best thing is for the half-corpse to finally go to the grave and stop poisoning the working class.

And by all appearances, this is exactly what is happening now. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is moving faster and faster towards its inglorious end.

An important proof of this is that in Lately The struggle within the Communist Party of the Russian Federation intensified and intensified to the limit. This is a struggle between the party elite and those who support it, on the one hand, and all categories of dissatisfied party members, on the other.

In our article we rely on materials and information given to us by comrades who are still members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and are well informed on this issue.

The dissatisfaction of many ordinary party members with the activities of both the party leadership and the entire party as a whole is constantly growing.

Apathy and disappointment among the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and the awareness of the meaninglessness of their work, are constantly increasing. They treat party events more and more formally and indifferently, rightly understanding that these events do not bring any benefit and are just window dressing, a tired clown show. The number of city committee members is steadily declining. Secretaries of city committees beat out membership fees almost with sticks, beg almost for Christ's sake, or threaten with expulsion from the party in case of non-payment. (Compare this with how, before the Revolution, workers joyfully and zealously gave what they could to help the Bolshevik Party; in addition to regular membership fees, they organized extraordinary collections for the publication of newspapers, pamphlets and proclamations, or in support of their striking brethren).

Often at party meetings it is impossible to even make any decisions - because there is not enough quorum. Zyuganovites are not particularly eager to attend boring and sluggish meetings, at which flies die of boredom and which are also pure window dressing.

Complaints, dissatisfaction and condemnation of the party’s activities in personal conversations between party members are commonplace.

Scandals and clashes in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation on various occasions between those dissatisfied with party politics and its defenders in last years are happening more often and louder.

There are frequent speeches at party meetings and congresses condemning the party leadership and its work - speeches that most often end in scandals, resignation or expulsion from the party.

Many critical speeches by members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the press and on Internet resources.

But party functionaries are trying with all their might to “not wash dirty linen in public” - to suppress discontent as quickly and harshly as possible, to shut the mouths of the dissatisfied and continue to pretend that there is peace and quiet in the party.

Critics are deprived of speech at congresses, removed from meetings, their access to online communities is blocked, their records are erased, and their articles are not published in party newspapers. They demand to stop “schismatic activities” under pain of expulsion. Those who do not want to shut up are thrown out of the party.

Of course, the vast majority of these dissatisfied people are not communists - they are typical late-Soviet opportunists of various shades.

They do not take the position of the working class, they do not understand that the class essence of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is bourgeois and hostile to the working class, that the ideology of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has nothing in common with communism.

However, as people who are more honest and not completely stupid, they still vaguely feel that something is wrong with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, that it is not doing what the Communist Party should do. They are unable to understand the treacherous essence of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the rottenness of its ideology.

But they see what everyone sees in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, unless he deliberately closes his eyes.

They see the pomp and complacency of the highest party elite and its shameless, servile servility to the authorities.

They see formalism in work, the uselessness of rallies, referendums, elections and other events. They see the growing apathy and disappointment of their fellow party members. They see the complete absence of democratic centralism, the complete inability of ordinary party members to influence party policy, and the complete omnipotence of Communist Party officials.

All this gives rise to discontent, irritation and protest in them.

Not being communists, they do not criticize the Communist Party of the Russian Federation from principled, Marxist positions. They do not expose its class essence and do not protest against its ideology as a whole (except in small things, seeing here and there separate deviations from Lenin’s line).

They mainly criticize the activities of the party in particulars.

For example, the lordship of senior party officials and their disdain for ordinary party members. One member of the city committee from the city of Rybinsk bitterly said that in 2011, when Zyuganov came to Yaroslavl, he stayed in the Yaroslavl city committee for only fifteen minutes, showed up only for show - and immediately hurriedly left for the International Forum with the participation of Dmitry Medvedev. “For Zyuganov to appear at the forum and once again wag his tail in front of the president is more important than to communicate with us. We are nothing to him, we only have to earn votes for him in elections,” this is how this Communist Party member expressed his indignation.

Dissatisfaction is often expressed that finances are distributed unfairly: “The party receives money for every vote in the elections, where is it? We get votes, but the center takes everything - we don’t get anything, we don’t have enough money for paper, for equipment, for renting premises.”

They complain that the leadership, through all sorts of intrigues, promotes to responsible positions not the most capable and responsible - but the most obedient and obsequious, “their people.”

Particularly indignant is the “negotiations” - the cynical trade conducted by the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation with local authorities and with officials from “ United Russia"during the elections. At such a time, something extremely shameless is happening, and even the most loyal Zyuganovites condemn it. The leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, upon a call from the United Russia, removes its candidates from the elections - if they have a chance to win, and United Russia has its eye on this place. On the other hand, often “United Russia”, by prior agreement, gives candidates from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation the opportunity to take certain seats in local parliaments and governing bodies - naturally, on the conditions of the candidates’ full future loyalty, full readiness to do what the bourgeoisie, represented by ER. They are first given conditions that they must fulfill after getting a position - for example, to help some United Russia member take a position, launder money, purchase municipal property for next to nothing, deal with a business competitor, and so on.

Dissatisfaction among ordinary members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is also caused by the fact that in the ranks of their party there are increasingly not only medium-sized, but also quite large capitalists. They finance local branches - and for this they are nominated by city committees for deputies, mayors and governors, advertise their business, cover up their abuses and corruption, shield themselves from court, declaring that they are allegedly being persecuted for “political reasons”, for membership in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and “fight against the regime.”

Sometimes some very vile trick of the top leadership, some very open servility of Zyuganov and his retinue before the bourgeois government suddenly opens the eyes of these party members for a while, shows how far the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has gone from communism, and causes strong murmur among them. This was the case when in 2014 Zyuganov participated in the celebration of “National Unity Day” (as is known, specially invented in order to replace the October holiday and deceive the working people with hypocritical “unity” with the bourgeoisie). Then we even had to turn off comments on the Communist Party of the Russian Federation website, because dozens of angry and indignant messages poured in from all sides. Moreover, precisely from members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

In a word, those dissatisfied with this category in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are absolutely not Marxists; they do not realize the essence of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which is hostile to the working class (or realize it very vaguely), do not criticize it from a principled Marxist position, do not expose it for betraying communism. Their protest is vague, inconsistent, vague, chaotic - as befits the petty bourgeoisie.

But nevertheless, they feel that something wrong is happening in their party; the actions of the party leadership cause them rejection and condemnation.

And this condemnation becomes more and more harsh the further it goes. The more protests, revelations, clashes and scandals occur between them and party officials. And lately passions are literally running high. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation officials now do nothing but repel the indignant attacks of all sorts of dissatisfied people, extinguish impending riots, beg, admonish, promise, threaten with expulsion - they persuade in every possible way “not to wash dirty linen in public” and “not to disturb unity.”

Among the dissatisfied in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation there are a certain number of pronounced nationalists, anti-Semites and great powers. They believe that Lenin was a German spy and a freemason, that the Revolution was a Jewish coup and was carried out with money from the West, that the “Bolshevik Jews” exterminated the Russian nation,” etc. These are representatives of the middle and large bourgeoisie, which, as was said, has already openly, officially penetrates the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and increasingly strengthens its influence.

They are staunch anti-communists and show pronounced hostility and hatred towards Marxism.

If the first group of dissatisfied people, ordinary opportunists, criticize the Communist Party of the Russian Federation from a vaguely left-wing position, then the second group, on the contrary, from the right. If the first group condemns the party leadership for its too odious alliance with Black Hundred organizations, with nationalists and obscurantists - the second, on the contrary, because the party, in their opinion, does not cooperate enough with the nationalists, does not do enough to “raise the Russian spirit.” If the former are indignant that the bourgeoisie is infiltrating the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the latter blame the fact that there are few “entrepreneurs” in the ranks of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, that the party cannot “attract business.”

In a word, they criticize the Communist Party of the Russian Federation for not taking the position of the bourgeoisie decisively and openly enough, that it has not yet become an openly nationalist party.

They sharply condemn the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation for mediocrity, flabbiness, sluggishness, indecisiveness, loss of initiative, inability to win elections, loss of supporters, for the fact that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation leadership is disgraced, deprived of its last authority, showing themselves to be pathetic and corrupt hangers-on of power.

In short, their desire is for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to become an openly bourgeois, nationalist, and most likely fascist party and for it to decisively move to power.

Among the dissatisfied in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation there is another group - so small that it is precisely and only an exception.

These are Marxists, communists. Those who understood that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not a party of the working class, and its ideology is not communist.

Everyone is different. Basically, despite the efforts of their leaders, they began to study Marx and Lenin. Despite efforts - this is not for the sake of words. A Communist Party member who reads Marx and Lenin is a rarity. If any party member has such a desire, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation mentors will dissuade him in every possible way. They say that with Lenin everything is very complicated, that it is impossible to understand him right away, and in general - when this was written, now the time is different. Well, and Marx even more so. And therefore, it is better to start your self-education with the works of Gennady Andreevich, where everything is presented in an accessible and clear manner, and “in the context of our time.”

Comrades from different cities of Russia, who were previously members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, say that in some places Lenin’s collected works were simply thrown out of the city committees into the trash. They say that some fellow party members mock those members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation who read Lenin: why, they say, do you need this junk?

Yes, reading Lenin is not an honor for members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. They make the only exception for Lenin’s work “The Infantile Disease of Leftism.” This is because with the help of this work they are trying to justify their opportunism and prove that the principled Marxist position of the communists, exposing the betrayal of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, is an “infantile disease of leftism.”

And so, instead of a person studying the works of the founders of Marxism, Zyuganov’s treacherous burden is shoved into his hands.

Instead of “Materialism and Empirio-Criticism” - a book in which Lenin passionately and uncompromisingly smashes idealism and affirms dialectical materialism - they give “Faith and Loyalty”, “Holy Rus' and the Kashchei Kingdom” - where Zyuganov crucifies himself before the priests and reports that communism and Orthodoxy - well, just twin brothers, that “Rus has always been strong in faith” and other philistine servile vulgarities.

Instead of “Two Tactics of Social Democracy,” where Lenin exposes the betrayal of the Mensheviks and irrefutably shows that in the class struggle a middle ground is impossible and you are either on one side or the other, they give a bunch of false waste paper in which the “communist” Zyuganov pompously and pompously calls for to “gathering the country”, to “conciliarity” - that is, to unity with the bourgeoisie.

They say - educate yourself, comrade, absorb treacherous opportunism and become a successful traitor to the working class yourself!

But nevertheless, despite all this, still a few members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation begin to study the works of the classics of Marxism and delve into them. And, naturally, if they do this in good faith, then very soon they understand that Zyuganovism has nothing in common with communism, and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation can only be called a communist party as a mockery.

The first are those who have already realized that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not a communist party, but hope that it can be “corrected.” That is, these are members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation who have embarked on the path of insight, but have not fully seen the light. They continue to remain in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and are trying to “correct” it - or otherwise, they are doing something that is obviously useless, wasting time and energy. Needless to say, all their efforts are wasted, disappearing like water into sand.

The second category is those who have finally received their sight. They have already fully realized that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is the enemy of the working class, that it is a party of the bourgeoisie and it will never become proletarian, and there can be no talk of any “correction”. These are our comrades, the few true communists in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

Some of them break with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, leave - and begin to conduct exposing work. Others remain in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - in order to open the eyes of those who have already begun to see the light, in order to convey to them the truth: the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is the worst enemy of the working class of the whole world, the main brake on the world communist movement. It is impossible to correct it, and the only thing that is possible and necessary is to push this half-corpse into the grave, and the sooner it gets there, the better for the working class.

Party functionaries, naturally, hate them to the point of hysteria, to the point of mad saliva. Nationalists do not tolerate them for “left-wing radicalism” and “Satanism.” And left-wing Protestants treat them according to the principle “you want it and you need it.” They feel the truth in their words, agree with them in many respects, but find that they “go too far.” By their petty-bourgeois nature, cowardly and flabby, they cannot decisively break with opportunism and firmly take the position of the working class, but instead prefer to complain, grumble, scold the Communist Party of the Russian Federation leadership - and continue to get dirty in the mud of Zyuganov's swamp.

As we said above, the process of the final decomposition of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is accelerating. This is proven by the increasingly frequent sharp revelations of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation from its own members in recent years.

Here I will give excerpts from an exposé article by one Communist Party member, a member of the Novorossiysk city committee, Alexander Khaldei. Khaldei bitterly and sarcastically criticizes the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and openly says that it is rapidly moving towards an inglorious end. At the same time, it must be said that Khaldei himself is in no way a Marxist - he is a sovereignist, an imperialist, a theist, denies the class struggle, advocates “serving not the class, but the nation,” and calls real Marxists “left-wing Satanists.” Nevertheless, even such a person sees the shame of Zyuganov’s policies. He speaks with disgust about the Communist Party of the Russian Federation's subservience to the bourgeoisie, about its outright corruption and its political impotence:

“The Communist Party of the Russian Federation and Zyuganov are twin brothers. Who is more valuable to the Presidential Administration? We say the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - we mean Zyuganov, we say Zyuganov - we mean the Communist Party of the Russian Federation... A fascinating story of serial exchanges, petty betrayals, concessions, deals with the oligarchy and the authorities, internal party squabbles - all this has long been no secret to all but the most stubborn and stupid members of this unfortunate party ... The most pitiful sight is to watch how Zyuganov, who has completely lost his political initiative, trudges after power with a senile jog, putting forward, with a two-week delay, initiatives that Putin had previously put forward in his own right. foreign policy... The initiative was long ago and irrevocably lost, the worldview of the people is shaped by other forces, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is only concerned with how to stand for another day and hold out the night, with a view to getting through the next elections. And if the Communist Party of the Russian Federation wins somewhere, then there is always another agreement behind it. For if Moscow does not want, Zyuganov will not win major cities never. This is clear to everyone except local party activists, who are immersed in the fight with local United Russia members and for this reason cannot see anything beyond their noses...
Now the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is in the status of... a pseudo-opposition parliamentary party... The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is dying. Her age is over."

And here is the understanding of what was said above in our article - that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is the corpse of the late Soviet CPSU and in fact continues its work of deceiving the working class:

“In essence, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was a form of survival for the second and third echelons of the late communist nomenklatura, which did not fall into the division of the Soviet inheritance... But the secretaries of the Central Committee departments who did not have time for voucher privatization were able to take their toll, showing that in an unstable time of crisis... no one can neutralize the indignation better than them wanked masses... When you look at the Duma communists - well-fed, polished, in expensive suits, emitting the aroma of involvement in power, sitting on ministerial salaries and personal pensions, you understand - they have found their place in the political food business chain... But every business has its own the beginning and your end. The system can only be defeated by another system, and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is neither a system itself nor can it create such a system. She is a simulacrum. Apart from its functionaries and a very small army of elderly activists, which melts every year like snow in the sun, there is nothing and no one else behind it and under it.”

Recently, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has given many reasons to talk about itself - in the regional Legislative Assembly, one deputy after another is leaving the faction with a scandal. A regional parliamentarian told his version of events to OG Dmitry Shadrin, who also recently left the party.

— What is happening now in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation?

— When I was the first secretary of the Sverdlovsk regional committee, I always had a tough position - we should not interfere in the conflicts of elite groups under any circumstances. Therefore, we had no right to participate in the confrontation between the region and the city. Now, from my point of view, the regional committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is a battering ram in the hands of the Gray House group, in agreement with Secretary of the Central Committee Yuri Afonin. He heads the Sverdlovsk party organization in manual mode through the current First Secretary of the Sverdlovsk Regional Committee Alexander Ivachev.

In fact, contact with 30 party organizations was lost - they simply collapsed, they were gone. In Sukhoi Log, the first secretary wrote a letter of resignation. There are 40 people left in Nizhny Tagil. Average age- for 70 years. And it’s like that everywhere. In my native Novouralsk they managed to completely collapse it - there were more than a hundred people there with me. What Alshevsky he is leaving the party, I knew a year ago. He has a long-standing dream - he wants to join the State Duma, but the Communist Party of the Russian Federation did not give him such an opportunity.

- Why did they try to expel you?

- I still don’t understand. I learned about the expulsion from one of the journalists via WhatsApp. I was shocked, honestly! I'm very a good relationship with the secretary of the “primary”, which deals with these issues. And she took money from me and promised that she would pay membership fees for me, she herself stamped my party card. And then they accused me of not paying my dues for almost two years. I say: “That’s it, I’m tired of you.” And left.

And then the story happened with Vladimir Konkov— it became known that he would not be among the top three on the party list in the elections. He was first shocked, then furious. Of course, I understood that he had a conflict with the mayor’s office, but I could not imagine that he would be thrown out. Look: the Communist Party of the Russian Federation sold the premises of the Konkov at a price below the market price, and gave the gym to the regional committee for free use. Expensive gift Zyuganov I also bought some skates for my anniversary.

- What are your political plans? They say you are negotiating with the Communists of Russia party?

- I met. We agreed in principle. All communist parties graze in a small area - electorate support ranges from 10 to 20 percent. In the Sverdlovsk region, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation always had this limit at around 15 percent. In 2011, we, sacrificing everything, took away all the opposition votes.

Somewhere in October 2014, there was a conversation about the need to create a parallel communist party, because these 15 (and now probably 12) percent of the communist electorate could be redistributed differently. If another party appears in this clearing, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation automatically loses votes, because many people with communist convictions do not like Zyuganov - the man has been sitting in his place for a very long time.

- What are her chances?

— To participate in the elections to the Zakosny Assembly, she needs to collect 17.5 thousand signatures - this is a complex story. Also, unfortunately, there is nowhere to go without money in the current elections. But if there is normal funding, we can fight. In addition, Konkov is now so furious that he is ready to finance a parallel Communist Party. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, in principle, by doing nothing, will gain more than if they do something. To drop the Communist Party below five percent is almost impossible. If Konkov gives money, we will fight for two mandates - we need to get 7.66 percent plus one vote.

— How much does good financing cost?

- In 2011, 25 million rubles was not enough - there was not enough money for literally three last days. Now, to conduct approximately the same campaign, you need 50 million.

— What is the difference between the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the “Communists of Russia”?

— “Communists of Russia” can no longer be called spoilers, because they appeared after the split of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in 2004. Now there is a mixture of old dinosaurs from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and young people. Their second secretary is only 25 years old. According to the “Communists of Russia” program, in some ways it is even more radical. The current leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is quite comfortable in its place - they are not responsible for anything, they criticize everyone, they have been sitting in the State Duma for more than twenty years and will sit for another 5 years. And the “Communists of Russia” are not yet a parliamentary party, they are fighting for something, they are actually doing something.

Communist Party Russian Federation It has not been so communist for a long time. Even immediately after the collapse Soviet Union it was already a copy of the CPSU, which did not represent anything.

And now this is just a bunch of oligarchs who rest on the glory of a collapsed state and hide behind populist slogans. Nomination of Pavel Grudinin from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation for the post of President of Russia in Once again confirms this fact, because this person is not a politician, not public figure, not even a party member, but simply a successful businessman and oligarch.

Let us remind you that every deputy State Duma On average, he earns more than 1 million rubles a month from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which is 30 times more than the average salary of Russians - 35,300 rubles. And where are the communist ideas?

Gennady Zyuganov and his millions

The country's main "communist" Gennady Zyuganov owns a luxurious apartment in Moscow. Its cost is about 90 million rubles. Housing worthy of a fighter for equality and socialism.

Let's remember what communism is:

“Communism is a doctrine that rejects private property in the name of human welfare”

However, members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation prefer capitalism. They live in a capitalist era, but they just hide behind completely different slogans.

Another striking communist example is State Duma deputy Alexander Nekrasov. His family earned 651 million rubles in 2016, that is, 1.8 million rubles daily. And his wife earns ten times more than Nekrasov himself.

The richest communist

The richest person in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is State Duma deputy Vladimir Blotsky. He fought so hard for socialism in 2016 that he earned 260 million rubles, that is, 21.6 million rubles a day. Marx and Engels would be proud of him!

Private business is also no stranger to the guys from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. The party received a third of its funding for the State Duma elections in 2016 from private businesses. This is about 667 million rubles. Apparently, the money of capitalists and oligarchs is much more important for the leadership of the party than the original ideas about justice and equality.

The attitude of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to the national question

For a truly communist party, the principle of proletarian internationalism is at the forefront of all its activities, and this is expressed even in the main slogan of communists around the world -

“Workers of all countries, unite!”

Why is this the main slogan of the communists?

Yes, because only by uniting the proletariat different countries and peoples, the world bourgeoisie can be defeated!

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is considering national question completely different. On the one hand, it seems to declare the friendship of peoples:

“The party is fighting... for the re-creation of the fraternal Union of Soviet peoples...” [see. Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation], and on the other hand, states in the same Program that “the tasks of solving the Russian question and the struggle for socialism are essentially the same.”

These are the words of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and its actions are even more odious - the “Russian Lad” movement, initiated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, unites in its ranks not workers and rural workers, but 130 bourgeois-patriotic, nationalist and Orthodox structures, such as “Holy Russia”, Cossack Foundation "For the Fatherland" and the International Slavic Academy! Those. terry monarchists, nationalists and religious figures, whose task is to promote in every possible way the prosperity of the ruling class in Russia today - the bourgeoisie, and, consequently, the unbridled oppression and exploitation of the working masses of our country!

While talking in its Program about the fraternal Union of Soviet peoples, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation simultaneously hates these peoples with fierce hatred, demanding legislative restrictions on the entry into Russia of migrants from Central Asia, who, generally speaking, are representatives of those very Soviet peoples who lived very amicably among themselves under the conditions of Soviet socialism. Why did these peoples not please the Communist Party of the Russian Federation today? The fact that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation carries out the will of the national bourgeoisie of Russia and the Central Asian republics, which are simply engaged in dividing the market among themselves, including the labor market, without which profit and appropriation of other people's labor is impossible.

Which class benefits from the ardent nationalism of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation? Again, only and exclusively the bourgeoisie!!!

The classics of Marxism-Leninism have irrefutably proven that the transition from capitalism to socialism other than through a socialist revolution is IMPOSSIBLE. History has repeatedly confirmed their conclusion.

As for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, perhaps Zyuganov’s most famous phrase is the notorious “... Our country has exhausted the limit on revolutions and other upheavals...”, which says only one thing, that the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not only an outright lackey of the bourgeois class, but also not a very smart person.

Revolutions cannot be banned. A revolution is a change in the socio-economic system, fundamental changes in all areas of society, during which the dominant class in society changes. Revolutions are required by life itself, the very development of productive forces, human society, science, and technology. Revolutions arise regardless of the wishes of any specific individuals; they are the result of the objective laws of the development of human society. And since the old ruling class never leaves voluntarily, in an amicable way, these changes are usually brought about by revolutionary uprisings. For example, everyone was like that bourgeois revolutions, when the bourgeois class, which grew up in the depths of feudal society, overthrew the feudal class. All socialist revolutions were the same, when the oppressed class of proletarians overthrew their oppressors, the bourgeois class.

But the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and its leader Zyuganov are laws social development We strongly disagree. They completely deny the socialist revolution, suggesting that the working people go to socialism through political struggle in the bourgeois parliament. The fact that this path is completely unrealistic and unpromising does not bother them. Exactly the opposite, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is very happy with this - after all, this party lives very well, receiving huge money from the Russian bourgeois government for its supposed defense of the interests of the working people.

Would the bourgeoisie pay a lot of money to those who really want to overthrow it? Never! This means that the activities of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the form in which they are carried out are beneficial to the bourgeoisie!
What does the Communist Party of the Russian Federation think about the dictatorship of the proletariat?

If the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is afraid of revolutions like fire, then the mere mention of the dictatorship of the proletariat, on the principles of which every true communist party should stand, will immediately make it quake. We look at the Program, listen to the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Zyuganov and see that we were not mistaken - that’s how it is.

In the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, in Zyuganov’s speeches and in the official documents of the party there is not even a mention of the dictatorship of the proletariat!

But V.I. Lenin directly pointed out that anyone who denies the dictatorship of the proletariat is an enemy of the working class and an enemy of socialism, because without the dictatorship of the proletariat it is impossible to build a socialist society!

In a class society, where two main social classes - the bourgeoisie and the proletariat - participate in material production, only either the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or the dictatorship of the proletariat is possible. There cannot be any other state, which the Communist Party of the Russian Federation constantly talks about, without indicating its class essence and calling it the “state of the working people”!

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation proposes that Russian workers go not to the scientific socialism of Marx and Lenin, but to a kind of “socialism of the 21st century,” “new socialism” (“neo-socialism”), in which labor and capital will somehow coexist peacefully. Can a wolf and a sheep, a man and a tick feeding on his blood, live together peacefully? This is completely out of the question! One of them must give way to the other. And historical practice shows that whenever there is talk about the “peaceful coexistence of labor and capital,” in reality it turns out that this only means the complete subordination of labor to capital. This is exactly what happens with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

Let’s see what the Communist Party’s “socialism of the 21st century” consists of and what its main features are.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation sees its main task as:

"establishment democratic power workers, broad people's patriotic forces led by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation." [Cm. Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation].

This party is going to:

“actively revive and develop direct democracy...” [See. Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation].

What is “democracy”?

This is something that can never happen, and something that the bourgeoisie always shouts about, covering their interest with talk about the people in general.

Why can't there be democracy?

But because it makes no sense for the people to rule over themselves. They always rule OVER SOMEONE else! Over someone who needs to be forced to do your will. In a class society, it is not the people who always rule, but a part of the people – the class. In a classless society, i.e. with full communism, there is no need to rule over anyone at all - people will become so conscious and educated that communist society will function on the basis of self-government, high self-awareness of all citizens who will not require any coercion.

Communists openly say that under socialism the proletariat will rule. Who will he rule over? Over the bourgeoisie and bourgeois elements, its fragments, so that they cannot again become oppressors and exploiters. Under socialism, the vast majority of the people rule over a tiny minority.

And only the bourgeoisie, which always constitutes a small part the people of the country, covers up its dominance over the majority with words about the power of the entire people. And this is not at all accidental, the bourgeoisie needs this deception, because otherwise the majority simply will not obey it! That's what true meaning“democracy”, which the Communist Party of the Russian Federation calls for!

What will happen in the end? And the same thing that exists now - everything under the Communist Party of the Russian Federation “renewed socialism” will be decided by the bourgeoisie. And it is she who, amid talk of “real democracy”, will again be the ruling class! It directly follows from this that the “neo-socialism” of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is typical capitalism, exactly the same as what we have today!

It may be objected that the Communist Party Program says a lot about specific measures to improve social status workers and even the question of nationalization is raised.

Yes, there are such provisions in the Communist Party Program.

But what do they really mean in practice in conditions when everything is controlled by the bourgeoisie, when private ownership of the means of social production is allowed in the country?

And the fact that any social benefits for workers will be temporary, it is difficult to wrest them from the bourgeoisie, but they very easily and quickly take them back. During perestroika, how much we talked about “Swedish socialism”, about “welfarist states”! And where are they now? Not at all! European workers lived relatively well while the USSR was alive. Then the European bourgeoisie needed to smooth out the social contradictions in their society so that the proletarian masses, looking at the USSR, would not strive for socialism. But after the destruction of Soviet socialism, the European bourgeoisie no longer had any need to spend huge material resources on a “decent” life for their hired workers. Social guarantees for employees in Europe began to rapidly wind down. And today all that remains of them are “horns and legs.”

The situation is similar with nationalization, which Zyuganov often talks about and which most fans of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation really like. Nationalization of nationalization is discord.

What is nationalization?

This is the transfer of means of production from private ownership to state ownership. And here the key point is the state, which becomes the new owner of the means of production, its essence.

If this state is socialist, i.e. dictatorship of the proletariat, then nationalization is, of course, a progressive and necessary measure, capable of fundamentally improving social and economic situation of all the working masses in the country.

But if we are talking about a bourgeois state, such as our Russia, for example, then the position of the working people from the transfer of the means of production from private hands to the ownership of such a state WILL NOT CHANGE at all!

Yes, because the bourgeois state (the state of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie) is a kind of committee for managing the affairs of the entire bourgeois class in the country, something like hired managers. In fact, the means of production both belonged to the bourgeoisie (a specific private individual or several individuals), so they will belong to private individuals, only a slightly larger number of them, but still a negligible part of the country’s population. And just as private individuals (large capital) received all the profits from these means of production, so they will receive them, only now this profit will be divided not into units, but into tens or hundreds of people who are part of the bourgeois class and have access to the state feeding trough .

In understanding the essence of the bourgeois state lies the root of the issue of corruption in our country, about which Zyuganov talks a lot, cursing it and branding it. As long as capitalism exists in Russia, corruption will bloom in full bloom. And all for the same reason - public funds flowing into the treasury Russian state from our taxes and payments, the bourgeois class (big bourgeoisie) perceives with their personal funds!

The Russian treasury is the common treasury of the bourgeois class. This money is for them, not for you and me, not for common people, not for the working masses.

That is why in Russia, spending on social guarantees for the population is constantly being reduced, new fines and payments are being introduced, tariffs are increasing, prices are rising, everything is being privatized, etc. Our Russian capital wants to get fatter even more! And he simply cannot do otherwise - otherwise he will not withstand competition with foreign capital and it will simply devour him.

What is the conclusion from all this?

As we see, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation does not meet any of the main criteria of a true communist party!!!
Conclusion:

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is NOT a communist party.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is a purely bourgeois party. It reflects the interests of the class of the middle and petty bourgeoisie of Russia.

The goal of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not socialism, but the preservation of capitalism.

The method of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is fooling the working masses in beautiful words about “democracy” and “new socialism”.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is the main support of the bourgeois regime existing in the country, because it fetters the revolutionary energy of the masses, directing their legitimate and fair protest against the existing system onto a path where it is IMPOSSIBLE to defeat the bourgeoisie and capitalism!

The “Communists of Russia,” using the example of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation congress that preceded their plenum, decided to show the difference between the Bolshevik and Menshevik camps (members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation include Zyuganov’s fellow party members as the latter). “Limousines with pot-bellied people will roll up to the luxurious building of Zyuganov’s congress every five minutes, and discreetly dressed, lean party members will walk briskly from the nearest metro station to the modest building of the budget “Cosmos” (we are talking about a hotel on Mira Avenue),” the message said. . The building of the Izmailovo concert hall, where the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation gathered on Saturday, can hardly be called luxurious, and no limousines could be found in the immediate radius.

The “Communists of Russia”, who position themselves as Bolsheviks, however, turned out to be right in another way: “not a word against the churchmen” was heard at the congress. The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has not hidden for a long time that he should Orthodox traditions(for example, in 2011 he visited the temple to venerate the belt of the Virgin Mary), and his fellow party member in the fall headed the committee on affairs public associations And religious organizations. Before entering the Izmailovo conservatory, the communists were greeted by a tent with “delicious pies from the monastery,” as the sign said. A couple of hours after the start of the event, there were no more of them left.

Some mongrels

During his speech at the congress, Gennady Zyuganov hit out at the rival communists only once, and then only in passing: when talking about the results of the Duma elections, he mentioned a certain spoiler party that was delaying the votes of his wards. This is what he repeatedly called the party. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation even tried to force the “Communists of Russia” to change its name through the court, insisting on the excessive similarity of the name and symbols. The arbitration court refused to consider the claim.

Suraikin is sure that the “Communists of Russia” and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation have little in common: his party lives on self-financing, as the Bolsheviks should, while the parliamentary communists are showing off. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, in addition, spoils the life of the “Communists of Russia” by “telling all sorts of things” about competitors to foreign colleagues. Political strategists working for Zyuganov are portraying the Communists of Russia as a spoiler party, Suraikin believes. In this regard, he called on fellow party members to be more careful in choosing allies. “Some microscopic organizations, having received registration from the hands of the authorities, simply become mongrels in the hands of Zyuganov’s Mensheviks,” Suraikin figuratively put it. However, he did not rule out that in extreme cases it is possible to cooperate with ordinary members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation who have justified their trust, and he is sure that there are “thousands of them left” among Gennady Zyuganov’s followers.

Zyuganov, speaking at his party's congress on Saturday, focused on his usual opponents. “It is impossible to hide the face of the party of oligarchs and officials. she was never able to refuse the role of an appendage of the party in power. It performs the same function on the other side,” he listed. The communist did not create any sensations by talking about the “orange” revolutionaries, who, in his opinion, “use anti-corruption rhetoric to return the country to the times of Yeltsin and Gaidar.”

Enemy of my enemy

The leaders of the conflicting communists agreed in their assessments of the liberals. According to Maxim Suraikin, “the liberal right-wing alternative, personified by Kudrin and Navalny,” is more dangerous than the current government. Both sides have a lot of complaints about the party in power - United Russia. Against the backdrop of the century October revolution they are especially outraged by the behavior former prosecutor Crimea, State Duma deputy who initiated the review of the film “Matilda”. “Such lawlessness has not happened before and could not have happened,” the deputy chairman of the Communists of Russia, Sergei Malinkovich, was indignant, dubbing Poklonskaya a “fanatical monarchist.” Gennady Zyuganov was indignant at Poklonskaya’s words that Lenin could be put on a par with Hitler. True, if the Communist Party of the Russian Federation saw Poklonskaya’s actions as a shortcoming of United Russia, then the Communists of Russia considered it an action of the House of Romanov.

The approval of the leader of the White movement of the times causes an equally violent reaction among communists of both parties Civil War Kolchak. Participants in the March plenum of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation applauded the story about the PR campaign with the rubber doll Kolchak, and in the ranks of the “Communists of Russia”, due to a misunderstanding, things almost came to assault. “I don’t understand, are you for Kolchak?” - one of the participants in the meeting of “Communists of Russia” shouted menacingly, interrupting the speech of the party leadership. However, the conflict between the delegates was quickly resolved.

There were points of agreement in the statements of the leaders of the two communist parties on socio-economic policy. Gennady Zyuganov used figures about a decrease in the cost of living, Maxim Suraikin - about increased wage arrears in the regions of Russia. There was another common thought in their words: protests are needed, but within the legal framework.

Youth policy

In the best traditions of the proletariat, youth must be involved in protests, said the 71-year-old leader of the parliamentary communists. “The blockade of information about the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is one of the factors that pushes young people into the arms of the “orange” leaders,” Zyuganov said, clearly hinting at the rallies against corruption that took place in March. How to attract young people to the communist side? None of the communist leaders can give a clear answer to this question. Zyuganov complains that schoolchildren know nothing about the leaders of the revolution, but at the same time he is sure: if you tell them how everything happened, they will come first to the Komsomol, and then to the party. However, Gennady Zyuganov does not hide his distrust of modern youth, who “have no experience of life in the USSR”: “They often vaguely imagine this victorious time. Bourgeois and petty-bourgeois psychology is characterized by intrigue, careerism, and a readiness to compromise with the authorities. This requires attention when joining the party, in personnel work at all".

Competing parties will apparently have to compete for young personnel. The "Communists of Russia" plans are not so ambitious, but the goals are planned for the very near future: Maxim Suraikin called on fellow party members to attract as many new personnel as possible to the World Festival of Youth and Students, so that they, in turn, would conduct propaganda among their peers who were not imbued with the ideals of communism . The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has large-scale plans for renewal, as evidenced even by personnel changes: in place of the deputy chairman of the Central Committee of the party, he replaced for a long time supervised youth policy.

Elections are no child's business

Their leaders called on both the members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Communists of Russia to focus on the upcoming elections. Zyuganov advised to follow fellow party members who have achieved leadership positions in the regions, in particular, the mayor of Novosibirsk and the governor of the Irkutsk region. Maxim Suraikin advised his colleagues to participate in municipal elections. Already, the KPKR has achieved enormous success, Suraikin is sure: “The party has strengthened its position as the fifth political force in the country” - after United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democrats and the Right Russia.

Both parties are still talking about the 2018 presidential campaign. general outline. Once again answering the question about his readiness to go to the polls, Gennady Zyuganov said: “I am the leader of the largest party, if I am not ready, then there is nothing to do here.” However, he stressed that the candidate will be selected only after consultations with all interested parties. The only thing you can be sure of is that there will be no women on this list. “I treat women very well, but in conditions of war, sanctions, a severe systemic crisis, I would still feel sorry for women, because this post requires work seven days a week, at least 15 hours a day,” Zyuganov said, explaining the refusal nominate a woman for president. Despite the best intentions, the leader of the parliamentary party was then criticized, including by female deputies.

Maxim Suraikin would be happy to nominate a woman for the first post in the country, he assured in a conversation with Lenta.ru, but there are no candidates with sufficient political experience and level of recognition in his party yet. And among the men, besides Suraikin himself, no one presidential elections I’m not really ready to go. “There are no other candidates yet,” he admitted. “And I am ready to carry out any order of the party.” A preliminary decision on his candidacy was made at the plenum, and both the Communists of Russia and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will make the final verdict in December.
