"Who are the people? At the present stage in China, they are the working class, the peasantry, the urban petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie. These classes, led by the working class and the Communist Party, unite to form their own state and elect their own government; they enforce their dictatorship over the running-dogs of imperialism the landlord class and the bureaucrat-bourgeoisie, as well as the representatives of these classes, the Kuomintang reactionaries and their accomplices, suppress them allow them only to behave themselves and not to be unruly in word or deed. If they speak or act in an unruly way, they will be promptly stopped and punished.

Democracy is practised within the ranks of the people, who enjoy the rights of freedom of speech, assembly, association, and so on. The right to vote belongs only to the people, not to the reactionaries.

The combination of these two aspects, democracy for the people and dictatorship over the reactionaries is the people's democratic diciatorship"

“Everything I know, everything I can do, is yours, comrade!”, soviet poster, 1964

Yesterday, the the occupation authorities released Professor Nadira Shalhoub under restrictive conditions, following her arrest a day prior by occupation forces from her home in Al-Quds, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Club.

Her arrest came after she was subjected to a widespread incitement campaign due to her humanitarian, ethical, and national stance against the genocide war facing our people in Gaza, which led to the "Hebrew" University initially suspending her work, though it later reversed this decision. This arrest is part of the incitement campaign process.

A court session for Professor Shalhoub was held in occupied Al-Qufd. After deliberations, the so-called "Peace" Court of the occupation decided to release her with conditions. However, the occupation police requested a freeze on the decision to file an appeal, which was rejected by the occupation’s Central Court, and she was subsequently released.

The prisoners institutions affirmed that the arrest of Shalhoub, who is one of the most important Palestinian researchers and academics internationally, is a desperate attempt to obscure the Palestinian narrative, and our voice as Palestinians and our right to express our stance on the causes of our people amidst ongoing historical injustices in full view of the world and with support from international powers.

“To build, you need to know
To know, you have to study"
Soviet poster about the importance of education.

"The abolition of classes requires a long, difficult and stubborn class struggle, which, after the overthrow of capitalist rule, after the destruction of the, bourgeois state, after the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, does not disappear (as the vulgar representatives of the old socialism and the old Social Democracy imagire), but merely changes its forms and in many respects becomes fiercer."

Lenin

Comrade Harpal hits the nail on the head with his explanation of Lenin's discussion on party building.

Too much individualism exists within those who call themselves socialists. To say that the decision made by central party, or an organisational body, is not to your liking and you don't want to do it is completely counter productive.

Being a good communist means your wants and desires should be put aside for the good of the party and the movement.

"It is quite natural that the petty-bourgeois world outlook should crop up again and again in the ranks of the broad workers' parties. What we now often experience only in the domain of ideology, namely, disputes over theoretical amendments to Marx; what now crops up in practice only over side-issues in the labour rnovement, as tactical differences with the revisionists and splits on this"
