Theses for the First Anniversary of the Death of Lenin

1

The 21st January 1925 is the first anniversary of the death of the great and universally recognized leader of the proletarian world revolution, of Comrade Lenin. While mourning this enormous loss, the revolutionary proletariat of all countries must on this day concentrate its attention upon the work to which comrade Lenin devoted his whole life, must call to mind the great bequest he has left, and once again, in the light of the experiences of

"the first year without Lenin", test the correctness of his revolutionary, communist line, and our fidelity towards the legacy he has bequeathed to us.

2.

The name of Lenin is the standard of millions of proletarians and peasants who have entered into the immediate fight for the shaking off of the imperialist yoke, for establishing their own power, for communism.

The reformists of all countries, the social traitors and compromisers of the II. International, the whole of international Menshevism, have hypocritically clothed themselves in the revolutionary teachings of Marx and Engels and distorted them for the benefit of the imperialist bourgeoisie. In the course of many years they have stifled the revolutionary activity and enthusiasm of the working masses exploited by capital, by persuading them of the stability of the bourgeois social order and chaining every national section of the proletariat to the fatherland created by its bourgeoisie. Comrade Lenin summoned the workers to the revolt against capital. By his fight against the war and by the slogan of transformation of the imperialist war into the civil war, by the example of the victorious Russian October Revolution. Comrade Lednin took the first steps for making a decisive breach between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, resurrected the old slogan of Marx and Engels: "Proletarians of all countries - unite !" and gave it its revolutionary content by

strengthening in the working masses and all who are suppressed by imperialism, the believe in their own forces and their conviction of their victory.

3.

The fundamental "work of Lenin" is the revolt of the working masses against imperialism which in the past year has further extended and developed. The bourgeoisie of all countries and their lackeys from the camp of the II. International continually talk of the decline of communism. Nevertheless the "spectre of communism is haunting the whole world", is terrifying the bourgeoisie and is promting it to continually fresh attempts at the creation of the united front against the proletarian revolution, against the workers of the west and the east.
