To build socialism means not only building gigantic factories and flour mills. This is essential but not enough for building socialism. People must grow in mind and heart. And on the basis of this individual growth of each in our conditions a new type of mighty socialist collective will in the long run be formed, where "I" and "we" will merge into one inseparable whole. Such a collective can only develop on the basis of profound ideological solidarity and an equally profound emotional rapprochement, mutual understanding.
And here, art, and literature in particular, can play a quite exceptional role. In Capital, Marx has a marvellous chapter [Ch. XI] which I want to translate into the simplest language that even the semi-literate can understand, the chapter on co-operation, where he writes that the collective gives birth to a new force. It is not just the sum-total of people, the sum-total of their forces, but a completely new, much more powerful, force. In his chapter on co-operation Marx writes about the new material force. But when, on its basis, unity of consciousness and will springs up, it becomes an indomitable force.

Red Salute for Harpal Brar
by John Cartwright
From Punjab came in ’Sixty-Two
At first with Mao’s Red Book;
He analysed and thought it through:
A different path he took.
He set up with the Gang of Five
To keep a bright red flame;
Unswervingly he kept alive
His faith in Stalin’s aim.
From R.M.L. and A. of C.
He split from Scargill’s crew;
For twenty years C.P.G.B.
M.L. was always true.
And now he’s gone with Red salute
“We only want the Earth”
To gather revolution’s fruit
He strived for since his birth.

The modern state, no matter what its form, is essentially a capitalist machine — the state of the capitalists, the ideal personification of the total national capital. The more it proceeds to the taking over of productive forces, the more does it actually become the national capitalist, the more citizens does it exploit.
Anti-Dühring by Frederick Engels 1877

106 years ago on the 1st of March 1919 , the Korean people rose up against the colonial enslavement of the cruel Japanese imperialists .The reactionary Japanese imperialists brutally suppressed the uprising by force killing many innocent people. A total of 7 500 people were killed, 46 900 arrested and jailed and 15 900 wounded. This shows the gruesome barbarity of the samurai-wielding bloodthirsty Japanese imperialists.
Japan has never apologized for its crimes nor has it paid reparations to the Korean people. Instead, top Japanese politicians visit the shrine of the war criminals.
