This was epitomized in Nelson Mandela’s 1991 visit to the island, when his host took him to the northwestern city of Matanzas, and the pair gave speeches titled “Look How Far We Slaves Have Come!” The use of Matanzas as a site of public political memory began in 1843, and the memory of slavery soon became a surrogate for Cuba’s flawed liberation movement.

  • 1 the Struggle of the Communists Within the CPSU with the Rebirth Of
    1 The struggle of the Communists within the CPSU with the rebirth of the party. XXVIII Congress and the direction to the market. The continuation of the Gorbachev course in the politics of opportunists after the collapse of the USSR. Report of the RCWP representative, the secretary of the Central Committee, A. K. Cherepanov, at the European Communist Initiative forum in Istanbul on February 18, 2019. Speaking about the bourgeois rebirth of the party and the Soviet state, they usually focus on the 28th CPSU Congress, its decisions and the struggle of the Communists there. However, the roots of this rebirth lie much deeper. The fact is that the CPSU approached the XXVIII Congress not as an orthodox revolutionary communist party, corresponding to the Leninist definition of a new party type. By this time, by the efforts of the XX and XXII CPSU congresses, the party in theory has already abandoned such cornerstones of Marxism as the doctrine of the proletariat dictatorship, the understanding of the state as a purely class instrument of the ruling class. There was a refusal to recognize the continuation of the class struggle under socialism, and, most importantly, in the basis, in the economy, some reforms carried out led to the weakening of its character as direct social production and developing its product- market orientation. The development trend towards the elimination of commodity-market relations in the economy was replaced by the tendency of their expansion and development. Since the time of Khrushchev, the state has been treated on a national level, and the Communist Party has been more and more understood and presented as the party of all the population.

For pragmatic reasons I have expanded this use of abbreviations to include both international and Danish organizations and a full list of the many abbreviations utilized in the dissertation is found in appendix 1.Also due to the word limit the footnotes are full of abbreviations.

  • On the Struggle for a Marxist-Leninist Communist Party
    E. F. Hill Australia’s Revolution: On the Struggle for a Marxist-Leninist Communist Party CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTORY BACKGROUND The history of the Communist Party in Australia is inseparable from the history of Australia’s development. In this booklet, some of the background of Australia’s development appears as foundation material for developments in the Communist Party. The Communist Party was founded in Australia in 1920. By that time, Australia had a long history of thousands of years of its black people and 132 years of the dispossession of the black people by British white settlement. The booklet does not deal with the details of this historical background. Conventional history tends to present an accumulation of raw facts and devotes much attention to historical personages without investigating all sides of the social process that produced the facts and personages. This booklet will attempt to make its starting point the proposition that it is social being that explains social consciousness. Therefore this introductory chapter will attempt to summarise something of Australian history, and present material which explains some of the assumptions upon which much of what follows is based. The Australian black people lived in the state of society known as primitive communism and were at the stone age level. Their primitive communal life arose from the very primitive methods they had of eking out an existence. They were compelled by the difficulties of nature to band together in tribes, each person being essentially dependent upon his or her fellow tribesmen. They were the only inhabitants and they roamed their tribal grounds unchallenged.
