The Bolshevists: Gravediggers Of Capitalism ─ PSMLS Reads The People’s School for Marxist-Leninist Studies
-
- Education
Please enjoy this PSMLS reading of an article by comrade C.E. Ruthenberg entitled "The Bolshevists: Gravediggers of Capitalism," published in January 1919 in The Ohio Socialist. Today we celebrate comrade Ruthenberg's 140th birthday and we consider this video a tribute to his contributions to the Communist movement in America. This article was written prior to the establishment of what was then founded as the Communist Party of America (CPA), and gives the general reaction of the left-wing of the socialist movement in the USA to the events of the Great October Socialist Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Given the hindsight available to us, this article proves to be an outstanding forecast of the instrumental role in history ultimately played by the Bolsheviks. It is our duty to fill the shoes of those like comrade Ruthenberg, so as to carry on the Bolshevik struggle for the building of a Soviet America. We hope you learn something new!
