The revolution is not a matter of party, Otto Rühle (2010) Declaration of


Former German Social Democrat Otto Rühle evolved within the leftist opposition. Founding member of Spartakusbund then delegated to the workers' council and military Dresden in 1918. He opposed Rosa Luxemburg on the issue of elections.

p.76:

Historical experience teaches us that all the compromises reached between the revolution and the revolution-cons can only benefit the latter. Any compromise policy is a policy of bankruptcy for the revolutionary movement. What started as a simple compromise with the German Social Democracy, led to Hitler. What Lenin justified as a compromise led to Stalin. In diagnosing childhood disease as communism revolutionary refusal to compromise, Lenin suffered from senile disease of opportunism, the pseudo-communism.

Analyzed a critical point of view, the description of Bolshevism drawn in Lenin's pamphlet outlines the following key features:

1. Bolshevism is a nationalist doctrine. Originally designed primarily to solve a national problem, she was later elevated to a theory and practice of international concern, and a general doctrine. His nationalist character is also highlighted by its support to the struggles for national independence waged by peoples subject.

2. Bolshevism is an authoritarian system. The top of the social pyramid is the center of decision factor. The authority is embodied in the individual all-powerful. In the myth of the leader, the ideal bourgeois personality finds its most perfect expression.

3. organizationally, Bolshevism is highly centralized. The Central Committee has the responsibility of any initiative, direction or order. The leaders of the organization play the role of the bourgeoisie, the only role of unions is to obey orders.

4. Bolshevism is an activist conception of power. Exclusively concerned with the conquest of political power, it does not differ from traditional forms of bourgeois domination. Within organization, members have no self-determination. The army is a model of organization to the party.

5. Bolshevism is a dictatorship. Using brute force and terrorist methods, he directs all his duties towards the elimination of institutions and schools of thought non-Bolshevik. His "dictatorship of the proletariat is the dictatorship of a bureaucracy or a single person.

6. Bolshevism is a mechanistic approach. The social order it seeks is based on automatic coordination, compliance obtained by the technique and totalitarianism most effective. The economy is centrally "planned" knowingly reduced the socio-economic problems of technical and organizational.

7. The social structure of the bourgeois nature of Bolshevism. It not abolish the wage system and denies ownership by the proletariat of the products of his labor. In doing so, it remains fundamentally within the bourgeois class relations and perpetuates capitalism.

8. Bolshevism is a revolutionary element in the framework of the bourgeois revolution. Unable to make the Soviet system, it is thereby unable to transform radically the structure of bourgeois society and its economy. This is not socialism it establishes, but state capitalism.

9. Bolshevism is not a transition that would lead later to the socialist society. Without the Soviet system without the radical revolution and full of men and things, he can not fulfill the requirement Socialist prime, which is to end human alienation caused by capitalism. It represents the final stage of bourgeois society, not the first step towards a new society.

These new points based an irreconcilable opposition between Bolshevism and socialism. They illustrate with the necessary clarity of the bourgeois character of the Bolshevik movement and its close kinship with fascism. Nationalism, authoritarianism, centralism, the chief executive, political power, reign of terror, dynamic mechanistic, inability to socialize - all these basic features of fascism existed and exist in Bolshevism. Fascism is merely a copy of Bolshevism. For this reason, the struggle against fascism must begin the fight against Bolshevism.

Parliamentarism appeared with the domination of the bourgeoisie. With parliaments appeared the political parties. The bourgeois epoch found in the historical arena parliaments of its first encounter with the crown and the nobility. It was organized politically and gave the law a form corresponding to the needs of capitalism. But capitalism is not something homogeneous. The various layers and various interest groups within the bourgeoisie did assert claims of each of a different nature. Is to achieve these claims that were born the parties sent their representatives to the parliaments and their players. So the parliament was transformed there into a forum, instead of all the struggles for economic and political power to the legislature first, but then also under the parliamentary system, as the struggles between parties , are only fighting words. Programs, journalistic polemics, tracts, reports of meetings, resolutions, parliamentary speeches, Decisions nothing but words . The parliament degenerated into chat rooms (do more and gradually as time went on) but from day parties were mere machines to prepare for elections. It is no coincidence that they originally called "Electoral Union".

Bourgeoisie, parliamentary government, political parties are mutually dependent, conversely, one need to another. None is conceivable without the other. They mark the political face of the bourgeois system of the bourgeois capitalist epoch.

The revolution of 1848 was adopted from the outset. But the ideal of the bourgeois era, the democratic republic was built. The bourgeoisie, impotent and cowardly by nature, gives no strength, showed no willingness to achieve this ideal in the struggle. She kissed the flag before the crown and the nobility, merely the right to economically exploit the masses and reduced to a parody parliamentarism.

p.87:

The revolution is not a party affair. The three social democratic parties have madness to consider the revolution as their own party and to proclaim the victory of the revolution as their aim a party.

The revolution is a matter of political and economic of the entire proletarian class.

Only the proletariat as a class can lead the revolution to victory.

Everything else is superstition and demagoguery, political trickery.

is'agit What is to design the proletariat as a class and call its business for the revolutionary struggle. Based on the broadest in the largest.
