What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international #communism would be lost.

◾Georgi Dimitrov
◾The Fascist Offensive and the Tasks of the Communist International in the Struggle of the Working Class against Fascism.
◾Abbreviated trannoscript of:
◾THE CLASS CHARACTER OF FASCISM
◾Comrades, fascism in power was correctly described by the Thirteenth Plenum of the Executive Committee of the Communist International as the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic and most imperialist elements of finance capital.
...
◾Fascism is the power of finance capital itself. It is the organization of terrorist vengeance against the working class and the revolutionary section of the peasantry and intelligentsia. In foreign policy, fascism is jingoism in its most brutal form, fomenting bestial hatred of other nations.
...
◾This, the true character of fascism, must be particularly stressed because in a number of countries, under cover of social demagogy, fascism has managed to gain the following of the mass of the petty bourgeoisie that has been dislocated by the crisis, and even of certain sections of the most backward strata of the proletariat. These would never have supported fascism if they had understood its real character and its true nature.
...
◾The development of fascism, and the fascist dictatorship itself, assume different forms in different countries, according to historical, social and economic conditions and to the national peculiarities, and the international position of the given country. In certain countries, principally those in which fascism has no broad mass basis and in which the struggle of the various groups within the camp of the fascist bourgeoisie itself is rather acute, fascism does not immediately venture to abolish parliament, but allows the other bourgeois parties, as well as the Social-Democratic Parties, to retain a modicum of legality.
...
◾This does not prevent fascism, when its position becomes particularly acute, from trying to extend its basis and, without altering its class nature, trying to combine open terrorist dictatorship with a crude sham of parliamentarism.
...
◾Fascism acts in the interests of the extreme imperialists, but it presents itself to the masses in the guise of champion of an ill-treated nation, and appeals to outraged national sentiments, as German fascism did, for instance, when it won the support of the masses of the petty bourgeoisie by the slogan "Down with the Versailles Treaty."

Fidel Castro on BRICS in 2014:
“In a few decades, China's GDP will surpass that of the United States; many countries are already requesting yuan instead of dollars, not only Brazil but also several of the most important Latin American countries, whose products such as soybeans and corn compete with those of North America.
The contribution that Russia🇷🇺 and China🇨🇳 can make to science, technology and economic development in South America and the Caribbean is decisive.
Great events in history are not forged in a day. Huge tests and challenges of increasing complexity are looming on the horizon."

"Incidentally, here one must introduce a general attitude toward one of the most controversial terms of the modern world: Marxism. When asked whether or not we are Marxists, our position is the same as that of a physicist or a biologist when asked if he is a "Newtonian," or if he is a "Pasteurian".
There are truths so evident, so much a part of people's knowledge, that it is now useless to discuss them. One ought to be "Marxist' with the same naturalness with which one is "Newtonian" in physics, or "Pasteurian" in biology, considering that if facts determine new concepts, these new concepts will never divest themselves of that portion of truth possessed by the older concepts they have outdated. Such is the case, for example, of Einsteinian relativity or of Planck's "quantum" theory with respect to the discoveries of Newton; they take nothing at all away from the greatness of the learned Englishman. Thanks to Newton, physics was able to advance until it had achieved new concepts of space. The learned Englishman provided the necessary stepping-stone for them."

150 years ago, on August 16, 1874, Dmitry Ilyich Ulyanov was born - a Russian revolutionary and party activist, Bolshevik, younger brother of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov-Lenin
Following his elder brother, Dmitry Ulyanov became involved in the revolutionary underground.
After graduating from the Samara gymnasium in 1893, he entered the medical faculty of Moscow University.
In 1897, he was arrested for participating in the work of illegal organisations, including the Moscow Workers' Union, and served a sentence in solitary confinement in the Taganskaya prison. After 10 months, in August 1898, he was released. But he was forbidden to live in the capitals, and had to leave his studies for now. He was expelled from Moscow University.
He settled in Tula, where he carried out extensive work to create a unified social democratic organisation. The Tula Social Democrats elected Dmitry Ilyich as their delegate to the 2nd Congress of the RSDLP. Secretly crossing the border, he arrived in Geneva to see Lenin. At the congress, Dmitry Ilyich, without hesitation, took the side of the Bolsheviks.
Returning from abroad, he organised a printing house in Kiev to reprint Iskra, instructed traveling agents of the Central Committee, gave reports on the 2nd Congress, obtained funds for the needs of the party, supplied visiting comrades with money, passports, and literature.
Having graduated from the medical faculty of Yuryev University in 1901, D. Ulyanov became a doctor of the Kherson zemstvo, continuing to help his brother's work as best he could. He was arrested for anti-government propaganda in 1902 and 1904.
At the beginning of World War I he was mobilised as a military doctor. He conducted propaganda among the medical personnel of army hospitals, the wounded and the sick.
In the first years after October, as Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and People's Commissar of Health of the Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic, he was closely involved in organising the resort business. The People's Commissar personally selected locations for future sanatoriums, selected medical personnel, and took care of medicines, equipment, and food products.
When Crimea temporarily fell under the rule of foreign occupiers, Dmitry Ilyich became a member of the underground revolutionary committee.
In early 1921 he moved to Moscow. For many years he worked in a responsible position in the People's Commissariat of Health of the RSFSR.
After Vladimir Ilyich's death, the younger brother considered it his most important duty to perpetuate Lenin's image in his memoirs. He left behind moving stories about the leader's childhood and youth, about the life of the large, friendly Ulyanov family. He helped create V. I. Lenin museums in various cities across the country.
In 1941-1942 he lived in his homeland in Ulyanovsk, then in Moscow. Delegate to the XVI and XVII Congresses of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks).
He died in Gorki in 1943 and was buried in Moscow at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

"Executing a revolution to transform the old society into a new one is a worthy cause, but a most difficult task requiring complicated, long and relentless struggle. Only the strong can cover a long distance carrying a burden on their shoulders. A revolutionary must rely upon revolutionary morality and draw strength from it. Only then will they be able to fulfil their glorious revolutionary task."
