The working people of Belarus and the moneybags of the West have absolutely different interests! APPEAL left-wing patriotic public associations that formed the Coordination Council "Unity" to the working people of Belarus

 The working people of Belarus and the moneybags of the West have absolutely different interests!

APPEAL

left-wing patriotic public associations that formed the Coordination Council "Unity" to the working people of Belarus

 Dear Belarusian workers!

After the end of the presidential elections, an extremely explosive situation has developed in our native Belarus: crowds of people organized by pro-Western instigators are taking to the streets and squares of Belarusian cities, stopping work at some enterprises. Cleverly manipulating the minds of the crowd, the organizers of the riots, completely neglecting the safety of people, push them to a coup d'etat, civil war and bloodshed. They don't feel sorry for Belarusian blood!

What for? According to the latest data, the world economy is once again creeping into another economic crisis, a recession is also observed in the Western countries: the USA, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, and a recession has begun in neighboring Poland. Oligarchic circles in the West see one of the ways out of the crisis in carrying out "color revolutions" in other countries with the aim of destroying their economies and eliminating competitors, in capturing sales markets for selling their products and establishing dominance over these countries.

For the peoples of countries where the West manages to carry out a "color revolution", this brings a decline in production, destruction of enterprises, a decline in the living standards of the working people and the entire population, unemployment. The consequences of the “color revolution” can be seen especially clearly in neighboring Ukraine, where there are more natural resources than in Belarus, but people now live there poorer than ours.

The coup in Kiev began in an outwardly very harmless way: many remember how US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland handed out cookies to the Maidan participants in the city center, now Kievites and many Ukrainians remember these handouts with bitterness. According to Nuland herself, the United States spent more than $ 5 billion on the coup in Ukraine.

For the collapse of the economy of the country where the coup is planned, instigators from abroad also use strikes at enterprises. This was the case in Chile in 1973, where the Americans managed to organize a series of strikes in the copper mines, which accelerated the seizure of power by General Pinochet and the introduction of a fascist dictatorship in Chile. This was the case in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the Soviet Union, when, with the help of strikes, enterprises and the country were destroyed, which plunged the peoples of the former Soviet republics into long-term poverty. Many republics still have not got rid of the consequences of these strikes.

As for our Belarus, the instigators from abroad set a very important goal for themselves - the separation of Belarus from Russia and the prevention of the implementation of the Treaty on the creation of the Union State of Belarus and Russia, and not at all the establishment of "democratic order" in Belarus, as some of our naive citizens. And the percentage of votes cast by the citizens of Belarus for this or that candidate is of no concern to the West behind the scenes.

The situation is escalating on the borders of the Belarusian state: NATO has stepped up its exercises in neighboring countries, American troops are being transferred from Germany to Poland, and in Poland nationalist circles are increasingly talking about the revival of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the inclusion of Western Belarus in its composition.

Do we really want this?

Left-wing patriotic public associations that formed the Unity Coordination Council appeal to the working people of Belarus with an appeal not to succumb to the provocations of foreign organizers of the aggression of world imperialism against our republic, which begins with the “peaceful” protests organized by them.

Our public associations are confident that only together with Russia can Belarus successfully develop its economy and ensure national security, as it was in our history. In 1995, 83.3% of Belarusian citizens voted for integration with Russia.

WE WILL NOT LET THE PUPPET BREEDERS OF THE WEST MAKE PUPPETS OUT OF US!

THERE IS NO AGGRESSION OF WORLD IMPERIALISM AGAINST THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS! THERE IS NO "COLOR REVOLUTION" IN BELARUS!

THERE IS NO CIVIL WAR IN OUR PEACEFUL BLUEOUS BELARUS!

 

Left-wing patriotic public associations of Belarus, which formed the Coordinating Council "UNITY":

 

Patriotic Public Association "Fatherland"                                                

Public Association "For Democracy, Social Progress and Justice"

Republican Public Association "For the Union and the Communist Party of the Union"

Alexander Lukashenko's speech in Minsk at a rally for maintaining calm, peace and security in Belarus (16/08/2020)

  

Dear friends!

(applause)

  

Thank you for coming.

(thunderous applause, words in support of the President)

  

Thank you, Gomel residents! I have lived with you for a quarter of a century of difficult years, and you have never let me down.

(applause)

  

Thank you, fellow citizens of Mogilev and residents of Vitebsk!

(applause)

  

Thank you, residents of Brest and the Brest region!

(applause)

  

…Where I spent the most difficult years of my youth - the (after)war years.

Thank you, residents of Grodno!

(applause)

  

It was then, in the mid-1990s, that we began our election campaign with you, residents of Grodno.

Thank you, Minsk residents!

(applause)

  

…For the fact that you endure me for a quarter of a century, a person who came to you from the provinces.

(applause)

  

Dear friends, I did not call you here to protect me, although that won’t hurt. You have come here so that for the first time in a quarter of a century you can defend your country, its independence, your families, your wives, sisters and children!

(thunderous applause)

  

I didn't want to invite you to this square. First, I know you have a lot to do at home. You are harvesting now. I know, the kids are going to school soon. And you have a lot of work to prepare your children and grandchildren for this. But most importantly, I remember those 1990s: people stood here, workers with pots and kettles, and they asked for food, asked to feed their children. And I saw all of this  from that window over there (the rally was held near the building of the Government House, where Alexander Lukashenko worked as a deputy at one time. - Approx. BelTA). And then I vowed to help you and not to let that sort of squares gatherings into the fate of Belarusians.

(applause)

  

I am not a supporter of streets and squares, I am not a supporter of rallies. But, alas, it is not my fault that I had to call you for help.

(applause)

  

Dear friends, then, in the mid-1990s, at rallies and squares, unfortunately, and here in parliament, we have destroyed what was given to us by God: our huge Great empire, (USSR) without which no issue in the world could be resolved.

  

We got the bloody stump of this empire. What did those people want then, what did you want? You asked for a piece of bread. You asked for $ 20 in wages, you asked to start, to restart, to save factories. You asked for a tractor, you asked for a harvester to save the villages. So that you can work in the village, so that there is milk, meat and bread on these Minsk stalls.

(applause)

  

You asked then not to privatise our factories and plants. You asked not to take the land away from the peasants. You asked not to introduce paid medicine and education. You asked to restore respect for the officer and the soldier who were afraid to go out.

(thunderous applause)

  

In short, you asked me, a very young, inexperienced person, to lead the people away from the abyss. And we did it! We have done what millions of predecessors dreamed of. We have built a sovereign independent state for the first time in our history! The time chose us then, and we did it!

(thunderous applause)

  

Further I will speak and address you and not only you. And sometimes not you at all. I want to appeal to those who feel lost today, who are disoriented today. And, maybe, those who are not on this square today. I want to ask you: what do you want now? First, do you want freedom? Tell me, what sort of a freedom ?! Do you want a change? What, what kind of changes, what are we going to change ?! Do you want reforms? Tell me which ones, and we'll start tomorrow! Do you want "helicopter money"? But  those standing here on this square, you know, that there is no "helicopter money" delivered through the air, that money must be earned every day. And not in the squares, but in the fields, in factories.

(thunderous applause)

  

Someone wants new elections. Look around you! Tanks and planes are on 15 minutes after take off from our borders! And these are not just words. NATO troops clink their tracks right at our gates. There is a build-up of military power on the western borders of our country. Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and, unfortunately, our dear Ukraine, its leaders are ordering  us to hold new elections.

(numerous exclamations against such a step)

  

If only we’ll follow their orders, we will go into a tailspin and will never stabilize our airship. We will perish as a state, as a people, as a nation.

(applause)

Instead of being there, at the training grounds, in the Western part of our country, to demonstrate our strength, we keep our guys in the streets and squares in order to calm them down (protesters. - Approx. BelTA). Is this normal, soldiers?

  

We were offered a "landzug" (human bridge) - from Vilnius to Kiev: "We will put more than 300 thousand of our people there." This "landzug" is a cordon sanitaire that we have destroyed in the mid-1990s. And for that they hate us so much in the West. We must not become a sanitary zone between East and West! We must not become a latrine for Europe!

(thunderous applause)

  

We are being offered a new government. It was already created abroad. As many as two. They cannot figure out who will come to lead us. But we remember history. There was a bunch of ​​these governments, and now one of them still sits in America. There are three of them. We don't need overseas governments! We need our own government, our own leadership, and we will elect it!

(thunderous applause, words in support of the President)

  

We are being offered a new power. We are offered NATO soldiers. They want to dress us into bast shoes (traditional footwear of the poorest farmers before the revolution – translator’s note) and to whip us around. Can't you see that ?! If someone wants it, that will be without me. I will never allow the scrapping of our state! I will never allow to the destruction of what was created by our own hands! This will not happen!

(thunderous applause)

  

But I, like all of you and those who hear us, have children and grandchildren. And I want them to live, as we have lived for a quarter of a century, on our own land, in our own state! To live bad, really bad, good, better, but on our own land, with our own mind!

(applause)

  

And now not for a meeting, but I must tell you this, since you came here from distant Bragin, you came from Malorita, from the north of our country, from the east and the west. I may no have another such an opportunity to tell you all: yes, we were pursuing a tough course, yes, someone might not like my policy, the government etc. But you and I have approved this power in the mid-1990s by adopting a new Constitution. You then asked me to put things in order. I delivered it to you. You asked to live without corruption and oligarchs. Where are those oligarchs?

(applause)

  

You asked to clear the streets of Minsk and roads from bandits. I did it for you!

(thunderous applause, words of gratitude)

  

By force, by iron will, with the boys who are being defamed today (with their parents), we took weapons, there were only a few of us, and we wiped them (bandits. - BelTA) out from our roads! There were 32 gangs in Minsk! A huge amount on the Brest highway! The thieves and the bandits who killed our people! We removed them all in six months!

(thunderous applause)

And today I want to ask that small group of Minsk youth: have you heard about this? Have you ever heard how these criminals had scoffed at our people, how they took away their last money, how they shot right here when I was sitting in this building? Do they even know what it cost? They don't know exactly. Probably, their parents got ill and forgot about it, and did not tell them about it. So, I’ll remind you: 32 gangs that we have destroyed here with these guys - riot police, police, soldiers who followed me.

(thunderous applause)

  

You asked me, a very young man at that time who did not know where to get some money. You were crying, your wives – “$ 20, Alexander Grigorievich, there is nothing to feed the children with”! We gave more than that. And only a blind man does not see it! Yes, we are not rich. But it’s not $ 20 (salaries in the country. - Approx. BelTA). We live as well as we can, but on our own land!

(thunderous applause)

  

You asked to teach children, you asked to heal people. We teach and we give medical treatments!

(applause)

  

And we heal no worse than others, as recent history has shown. Anyone who is not blind, take your head into your hands. Teachers, doctors, creative intelligentsia, put your head in your hands and look at the data. We went our own way in this pandemic, we did not stop the country, not a single plant, not a single village was closed. And people today thank us for that!

(thunderous applause, words of gratitude)

  

They still reproach me today: the wrong path, no social distance ... But look at them: did they distance themselves at rallies and squares (opponents of the current government. - BelTA) when they were given a command from abroad? They didn’t give a damn about the masks and the distancing from each other! What do they reproach me for? For the fact that for six months, when this terrible disease was going on, I went out of my way so that not a single person would get sick.

(thunderous applause)

  

With all the difficulties, with all the shortcomings, we have built a beautiful country with you! Whom did you decide to give it to? If someone wants to give away our country, then even when I'm dead, I won't let you! 

(thunderous applause, words in support of the President)

  

Dear friends! About the recent events: I stand in front of you as before God: the elections have taken place. There cannot be more than 80% falsification! Can not be!

(thunderous applause, cheers)

  

We are being told to hold new elections. I just said: if we will plunge into this swamp. we will never get out! They want to destroy us, they want to weaken us. Who will be holding these elections? Who will go to vote in these elections? Bandits and gang lords!

  

Let's go to the polls, and who will work? If we go to the polls, we will perish, and this is what they want there, abroad.

  

They say we showed either harshness or cruelty in the streets. So who did start it, this cruelty? Was it I or the government who started it? We didn't need it! I had to stop them! If they were not stopped, you would not be here now. You would  slave for  them, and they would divide and tear up the country. If we go to the polls now, we will turn the country on its head.

(loud applause, words of support)

  

Today, threats are heard to the families of the military, to civil servants - to everyone who has stood by Lukashenko's side. I warn you: you are playing with fire! Soldiers, civil servants, workers, peasants, doctors, teachers, our intelligentsia are able to defend themselves (and will protect) and their families!

(applause)

  

I ask those people now: do not touch the teachers, they need to get ready for school! Do not touch the doctors, they should not come somewhere from the "red zones" (COVID-19 has not gone away yet) and make excuses! Don't touch the state media journalists and their families! God forbid, something happen, you will answer in full!

(applause)

  

Calm down, do not push people into violent confrontation! Do not disgrace the country – our peaceful, prosperous and calm country, which everyone in the world envied! Because of this, we have no friends, no supporters. Everyone wants us to kneel. But we will not!

(loud applause, words of support)

  

But I'm a realist. Listen to me: they will not allow us to have a quiet life. Even if they (opponents of the current government and the country. - BelTA note) calm down now, they will crawl out like rats from their holes after a while. They are already controlled by outsiders, the puppeteers. They would like to see the western borders of our Belarus here, near Minsk, as in 1939, and not near Brest. This will not happen! We will all become the Brest Fortress! We will not give up the country! Belarusians, think with your own head before it's too late today! For tomorrow others will think for us. That is what is so valuable about the fact that you came here to support not only me, but also to protect the country! Do not regret this time that you have spent to come here,  to the centre of Minsk!

(loud applause, words of support)

  

Dear friends, the value of this action is also (it inspires me) that by this you have shown who is the boss in our home! We hear their voices, we understand that this is a minority. But they too must take into account the opinion of the overwhelming majority, our opinion!

(applause)

  

They (opponents of the current government. - Approx. BelTA) shout to me: "Go away!" No problem! Listen, my dear ones, I am not standing here because I am so desperate to have a strong hold on power. A quarter of a century, I have given all my youth and my best years to serve you and our Motherland.

No problem! Presidents come and go. The OMON will leave, we will disband the army and sit down again on the square ... What and who will we wait here for? Whom will we feed tomorrow? To release criminals and bandits ... No bother. But they will kill and rip off us and our children. Remember this! They are striving for power.

We have already gone through this in the past. Some have not seen it, some have forgotten it. Why repeating it ?! I remind you! We can't repeat it! Stop, don't kill your future, your children's future with your own hands!

  

We are a tasty little piece for them (opponents of a calm and peaceful Belarusian state. - Approx. BelTA), but a small piece. They will swallow it and will not choke. Think! The time has come, you decide. I would like to ask them: what is the matter with you, Belarusians? You have wanted to live a dignified life  for centuries! And remember: if  you will destroy - not Lukashenko – if you will destroy the first President, this will be the beginning of your end! You will always live, like in Ukraine and other countries, you’ll kneel and pray to someone unknown.

(loud applause, words of support)

  

And remember, I appeal to them (opponents of the authorities. - Approx. BelTA), and you will make sure that they do not light this fire, because, as history teaches us, you can never build a future on the ashes. You will be beggars, you will walk with an outstretched hand and ask for a piece of bread, which we can make ourselves today, grow it ourselves. We know how to do it! We don't want anything from anyone. We want them to back off our house!

  

We will deal with all the issues. I warned you: the elections will be interesting, and after the elections it will be even more interesting. As I have predicted it.

  

Please take care, take care of Belarus! Because it no longer belongs to us, but to our children and grandchildren! We have somehow lived most of our lives already until today. And what will we leave to them ?! The time is very serious. Therefore, I called you here so that you protect the country, support people today who are going into battle for you, for your future.

  

Keep in mind that now a lot of all sorts of rubbish has crept out and stigmatised me: Lukashenka is like that, he has money somewhere, he has a house somewhere ... Or they declare that I got sick, or that I have already died ... But I am alive and I will live!

(thunderous applause)

  

And remember, I never betrayed you, never! And I will never betray you!

(loud applause, words of support)

  

I repeat once again: thank you very much for showing that you are the masters - from Bragin, Volkovysk, Mogilev and Vitebsk, you are the masters of this country and this capital. They (opponents of the current government. - BelTA note) will remember for a long time that we have gathered here. Thank you very much! I am kneeling before you for the first time in my life! You deserve it!

(thunderous applause)

  

Thank you, peasants, thank you for finding time to get away from your work! We'll catch up tomorrow and finish harvesting.

  

Thank you, workers! Do not give your factories to anyone, do not give up jobs, because then you will not return to them, nothing will work there, you will never rebuild the country if you do that.

  

Thank you, veterans! For your support, for always supporting me!

  

Thank you, soldiers of our army! For peace and calmness.

  

Thanks you!

(loud applause, words of support)

Some thoughts on Belarus.

 I visited Belarus in April 2018 for an international conference in solidarity with the DPRK organised by the Korean Committee For Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries and the Belarus-DPRK Friendship Association.

At the moment is sad to watch a bunch of hipsters backed by US imperialism wreck a peaceful country .

Belarus is certainly an independent state and very patriotic . It is also very anti-fascist , always remembering that the nazis killed 80 per cent of its population during World War Two. It has not tried to blot out the legacy of the Soviet Union , in fact some people seem quite proud of it . What would freak out liberals (as well as Trots and revisionists ) is that favourable references are made to J V Stalin .

However I personally would not go as far as some people have in describing Belarus as the last Soviet state or a socialist country . In fact the trappings of the evil empire can be seen . US imperialist fast food monopolies such as McDonalds, KFC , Burger King and Dominoes have found their way into the country . Also in evidence was a Harley Davison store and there are two US style shopping malls with shops like Pull and Bear .

I was shocked to see that a former Party or trade union building or hall of culture had been turned into a KFC !

I would say that Belarus operates a form of social democracy rather than socialism . Lukashenko appears to believe a phased and controlled transition to capitalism rather than "shock therapy" . No doubt this earnt him the hatred of capitalist fanatics and neo-liberals in the imperialist countries who love the sight of lines of the unemployed , people begging on the streets and foodbanks! We should not be telling people that "Belarus is socialist but the same time we must reject neo-liberal regime change in Belarus and support Belarus 's right to independence . The protests in Belarus are organised by those who want to make Belarus a member of NATO and the EU. Belarus must not become a NATO or EU colony !

A critique of Jack Conrad's "Which Road ' by an anti revisionist

                             

Although  published some time ago it is interesting to read the book ' Which Road ' which is a massive of the 1978 'British Road to Socialism ' (BRS) of the former Communist Party of Great Britain . It can said the programmes of most parties on the so-called British left , are variants of the BRS in one form or another .

 On the positive side it is well written and easy to read , although a lot of it does ape the style of the the SWP and Socialist Party or uses the Leninist's own jargon such as 'centrism ' and 'official communism ' ( which is never actually clearly defined by Conrad , one assumes it refers to the pro Soviet parts of the world communist movement  or probably the pro Sovietists plus Euros , but what about  the DPRK , China and various independent communist parties  ? ) .

  The strengths of the book are that it contains a very detailed critique of the 1978 BRS and even goes beyond that to include the CPB's updated version , the Euro's awful ' Manifesto for New Times ' and Militant's " What We Stand for ' . Conrad can be given credit for actually nailing down the extreme revisionism of the 1978 BRS on the issue of state power and monopoly capitalist rule , other opponents of the BRS did not manage to do this . Conrad then subjects it to a devastating critique . Reading I realised how far the BRS had strayed from Marxism-Leninism of any kind . Indeed the 1978 BRS borders on social democracy and even liberalism ! It is clear that one of the main reasons for the CPGB's sharp decline since 1977 which never levelled out let alone halted , was that with the adoption of the 1978 BRS the CPGB 

ended up with a programme that had only virtually paper thin differences with old Labour , the result was that people left the CPGB for the bigger party . 

  Conrad also criticises other parts of the BRS such as on Ireland . Conrad trenchantly denounces the Labour party as a bourgeois workers party and criticises both Right and left reformism .

      However it may have been a waste of time refuting  the 'Manifesto for New Times ' of the rump CPGB as this was a self -evident pile of rubbish which had managed to go far beyond modern revisionism . The one useful point Conrad makes it is to point that Euro-communism  unlike Labour reformism does not have a social basis in the UK . Indeed it can be added that any revisionist party in the UK is basically surplus to requirement from the point of view of the ruling class as they already have a reformist party in the form of the Labour party ,moreover the British ruling class is culturally anti-communist and ill-disposed to the existence of any kind of communist party . 

   Also the critique of the CPB's BRS is maybe a bit redundant and pointless as the CPB BRS was basically a warmed up version of the CPGB 1978 BRS , slight to the Left of it.

  However Conrad does do an excellent job of exposing the reformism of the then  Militant Tendency which became today stodgy Socialist Party which is really a variant of the Labour party .It was useful to be reminded of Militant's collaboration with the police.

  There are a number of ways that the book falls down . Conrad does indulge in a lot of pedantry as well as sneering .Political and ideologically the book is full of eclecticism , some ultra leftism , dogmatism and certainly chunks of neo-Trotskyism . Conrad talks about 'unconditional defence of the socialist countries ' but then proceeds to rubbish them . Conrad took a very dim and dismissive of the socialist camp  basically denying the superiority of socialism and drawing heavily on bourgeois sources . Reading parts of Conrad's book is like reading something by the SWP   !  Conrad even appears to have swallowed Thatcherite and bourgeois propaganda about rising prosperity , workers buying their own homes etc as he takes the CPB to task for talking about the increasing poverty under Thatcher . In fact Conrad has missed the point , in Britain in the 1980s you saw both the growth of the labour aristocracy and the lumpenproletariat , but Conrad does not recognise this .

    A massive blindspot for Conrad and the Leninist was anti-revisionism . The anti revisionist struggle of the WPK , CPC and others is airbrushed out of history by Conrad and it can be argued that in some ways Conrad's criticism of the BRS is basically 'reinventing the wheel '. In fact both Korean and Chinese comrades had accused the revisionists of 'prettifying imperialism '  which is basically what the ' British To Socialism ' does .
