Messages, appeals and statements of Comintern (SH)

The German section's commentary on the "New Year's greeting" from Augsburg

Comrades !

You have to be quick to get that and read it twice!

A greeting has been sent to us from Comrade K. in Augsburg, in which neither the 24th anniversary of the Comintern (SH) nor the 106th anniversary of the founding of the KPD by Karl, Rosa, and Ernst Thälmann is mentioned with a single word!

And there is also complete silence about the 56th anniversary of the founding of the KPD/ML Ernst Austs!!!

And also at the end of his "New Year's greeting" nothing but the 5 Classics and the socialist world revolution.

In conclusion, neither a greeting to the Comintern (SH), nor a toast to the KPD of Karl Liebknecht, Rosa Luxemburg and Ernst Thälmann, nor a toast to the KPD/ML of Ernst Aust.

What are we to make of this?

The headline of his "New Year's greeting" merely served to ensure that we publish his politically and ideologically false message on our website. This is not the first time, it is not an exception. We are not used to it any differently from comrade K.

We have therefore repeatedly made our attention to comrade K. in a friendly but firm manner in all the past years, that we do not agree with everything he sends us and therefore do not publish everything.

But apart from the headline, what does comrade K. write in his "New Year's greeting"?

Comrade K., you have dedicated your "New Year's greeting" instead to a "100th anniversary of the Bolshevization of the KPD". You write:

"Here we are blasting out our greeting for the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevization of the KPD."

These are pithy words, but such an "anniversary" on New Year's Eve has never been celebrated in the entire history of the communist movement in Germany – neither by the KPD of Ernst Thälmann, nor by the KPD/ML of Ernst Aust, nor in the 24 years since the Comintern (SH) was founded.

Completely fabricated by you!

It is a historical forgery and a godsend for the bourgeoisie and their lackeys in our world revolutionary camp when you write:

"In 1924, the KPD was Bolshevized."

That's not true. The KPD was not yet Bolshevized in 1924. In fact, Stalin only spoke about the perspectives and Bolshevization with a member of the KPD, Herzog, in 1925.

At best, we can say that the Bolshevization, as it was advised to the German Communists by Comrade Stalin in 1925, was just beginning ( namely only under Ernst Thälmann's leadership, which only BEGAN in 1925 in the fight against the party's own opportunists from "left" and right):

Stalin writes in Pravda No. 27, dated February 3, 1925 "On the perspectives

"In order to carry out the Bolshevization, it is necessary to create at least [!] some fundamental conditions."

"Without these and similar conditions, Bolshevization is an empty sound."

Here is the complete Stalin text for the above quote:

On the perspectives of the KPD and on Bolshevization

In our opinion, Comrade Stalin is right and not our Comrade K. from Augsburg.

Dear Comrade K.!

After reading your "New Year's greeting", all that remains is to shake our heads in disbelief at the rest of your content, which talks a lot about social democracy but nothing about modern revisionism, and even less about neo-revisionism – the main enemy within the revolutionary communist world movement. Don't we need to learn anything from this fight against revisionism?

We think very much so, because the struggle to overcome neo-revisionism has only just begun.

Consider our criticism of you also as a criticism of neo-revisionism!

What you have written does not help us, but drags us back.

We prefer not to talk about provocation - because you are a comrade - although we would have had reason to do so.

We see a self-criticism (and not a cheap excuse!) on your part as your proletarian duty to the Comintern (SH), of which you were once a member.

We hereby clearly and unambiguously communicate our decision to you:

We will no longer publish such "greetings" from you in the future.

P.S. :

The only thing that is excusable is that you wrote about a "new year 2024" in conclusion.

Something like that happens to me at 75.

With proletarian greetings
