The seizure of power is the main objective of a revolution. And certainly, the communist revolution had the same goal. Lenin’s book, Toward the Seizure of Power, explains that “The question of power . . . is the fundamental question which determines everything in the development of a revolution.” That was certainly the goal of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution.
The
Bolsheviks and Lenin destroyed the czarist regime. And they were not restrained
by any traditional moral, legal, or ethical principles. Marx and Engels had
declared that “there were no eternal moral laws,” and Lenin wrote that “morality
is entirely subordinated to the interests of the class struggle of the proletariat,”
and that “morality taken outside of human society . . . is a fraud.”
Communist
propaganda then and now describes the Bolshevik seizure of power as a ‘proletarian’
revolution. It was actually “an armed insurrection by a relatively small group
against an almost powerless government.”
Lenin and
his Bolsheviks did not have the overwhelming support of peasants and workers as
they had claimed, they constituted a minority and remained so long after the seizure
of power. They added more converts by promising ‘Bread, Peace, and Freedom!”
The Russians wanted those promises but did not want Bolshevism.
Lenin sought
power to advance communism through the “dictatorship of the proletariat,” with
total disregard for individual freedom. He even told the masses in detail in
the summer of 1917 how he planned on ruling through his dictatorship of the
proletariat, using “naked force and terror.”
The “dictatorship
of the proletariat” in communist ideology implied a transitional form of
government from capitalism to pure communism and was described as
an “era of socialism.” Even Marx wrote that the “state can be nothing
but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.” To further the
deception, all Soviet satellites were called socialist republics.
Lenin wrote
that force and violence were essential in overthrowing capitalism. Capitalism
could not be reformed, had to be destroyed and replaced with the dictatorship
of the proletariat. In this new form of governance, the means of production were
owned by the state. The state also had complete power, unrestricted by laws,
crushing all opposition, real or imagined.
“The seizure
of power is a matter of insurrection; its political purpose will be clear after
the seizure,” Lenin wrote. Power had to express itself through violence and
force, unrestricted by any laws.
Violence and
force were excused for the ruling communists. They were allowed to oppress the
masses and ethnic minorities among their peoples. The Communist Party (CP) excused
violence and force because the bourgeois minority, they said, had exploited the
masses under capitalism and therefore the CP members could use any means
necessary to teach them hard lessons that capitalism and private property were
evil and anybody who tried to have more than what was approved by decree was
therefore open for severe punishment. Hoarders of food and other necessities
were imprisoned, if lucky, or executed.
Josip Broz
Tito is an example of how an early communist organizer used the crisis of
fascist Germany invading European countries to rally his people under the
leadership of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia to take up arms against the fascist
aggressors. Tito was so convincing that his cause was just that in 1945 he became
president of Yugoslavia. The Yugoslavs repealed the Nazis only to replace the
fascist yoke with the communist yoke.
The
communist party of the Soviet Union who terrorized and oppressed its people for
72 years, never relinquished the power they had taken in 1917 by force. They
pretended to resign but went underground in 1989 to regroup and reemerge as an
even more powerful brand of communism, globalism, now sold in the U.S. as the “woke”
movement. No matter what the euphemism used, it is still communism.
Once the
Bolsheviks took power, they restricted the publication of any opposition
newspapers and outlawed all political groups. Freedom of the press and freedom
of speech were eliminated.
Cheka
(Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counterrevolution and Sabotage) oversaw
the crushing of all opposition to the Bolsheviks. Cheka was controlled by the
Council of People’s Commissars, chaired by Lenin. Cheka had the unchecked power to arrest,
imprison, shoot on the spot without due process, and execute anyone who was on
their radar for any reason.
The Russian
people did not go quietly into the night after the Bolshevik seizure of power. Military
resistance developed into civil war by 1918 and spread widely by 1920. But the
Bolsheviks won, and the win was attributed to Leon Trotsky as commissar of war.
A former journalist in New York City, Trotsky reorganized the Red Army. The dire
economic situation at the time worked in his favor as well. Bolshevik
agricultural policies produced a short-lived economic recovery in 1921 which
further confused the population.
Lenin’s
absolute power ended with his death in 1924. But the world communist movement he
established continued to suppress all political opposition, applying strict
censorship over all means of communication; trade unions became wards of the
state and Cheka terrorized everyone.
It is
interesting to note that in 1917, when Lenin and his Bolsheviks started the
reign of terror in Russia, William Tyler Page, a descendant of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, wrote “The American Creed.”
It was accepted by the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of the American
people.
I believe in the United States of America as a Government of
the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of
many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those
principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it,
support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend
it against all enemies.
Having lived
under communism for twenty years, I appreciate the freedom we have in the
United States more than other citizens born and raised in this country who take
their abundant life for granted. I respect its laws, I fly the American flag
proudly every day, and I support the Constitution.
Unfortunately,
the thirst for global power in the hands of a few billionaires and the U.N. is
moving all countries further and further to the radical left of global
communism.
The
fundamental transformation of our country promised by President Obama in
2008 is unfolding fast before our eyes and we are powerless to stop it.
The manufactured
global warming and the climate change industry are just smoke and mirrors to
mask the total globalist power and control by a few billionaire communists over
our lives from cradle to grave.
