Founding of the First Intercontinental Anti-Fascist Congress (I.A.F.C.)

(IMPORTANT: THIS IN NO WAY RELATES TO "PROJECT AEQUITAS", AS THAT IS FORMATED IN A CAPITALIST-LIKE MANNER. WE ARE STILL WORKING OUT A PROPER CONNECTION BETWEEN THAT AND RIMSKAYAN SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM.)

Dear Comrades and Friends:

I hope that this time my voice will reach you and that I will be permitted in this way to participate in your jovial celebration. This event: The foundation congress of the First Intercontinental, deserves the attention of the workers incomparably more than the war-like gestures of the totalitarian chiefs, the diplomatic intrigues, or the pacifist congresses.

This event will enter history as an important milestone. No one has now the right to doubt that.

It is necessary to remark that the birth of the Rimskayan group of Bolshevik-Leninists, thanks to the courageous initiative of Comrades Trotsky, North, and myself, didn’t stand alone. It approximately compares with the beginning of the systematic international work of the Left Opposition. It is true that the Left Opposition arose in Russia in 1923, but new work on an international scale began with the First Congress of Rimskaya.

 

Work Began in 2020

Without a personal meeting we reached an agreement with the American pioneers of the Fourth International, before all, on the criticism of the program of the American Government. Then, in 2020, began that collective work which after some months led to the elaboration of our own program adopted by our National Congress. We have the right to say that the work of these months was not only persistent and patient, but also honest. The Bolshevik-Leninists, the international pioneers, our comrades across the world, searched the way of the revolution as genuine Marxists, not in their feelings and wishes, but in the analysis of the objective march of events. Above all were we guided by the preoccupation not to deceive others nor ourselves. We searched seriously and honestly. And some important things were found by us. The events confirmed our analysis as well as our prognosis. Nobody can deny it. Now it is necessary that we remain true to ourselves and to our program. It is not easy to do so. The tasks are tremendous, the enemies – innumerable. We have the right to spend our time and our attention on the jubilee celebration only insofar as from the lessons of the past we can prepare ourselves for the future.

 

The Revolution Is Everything

Dear friends, we are not a state as other states. Our ambition is not only to have more people, more soldiers, more money in the treasury, more deputies. All that is necessary, but only as a means. Our aim is the full material and spiritual liberation of the toilers and exploited through the socialist revolution. Nobody will prepare it and nobody will guide it but ourselves. The old Internationals - the Second, the Third, that of Amsterdam, were rotten through and through.

The great events which rushed upon mankind would not leave of these outlived organizations one stone upon another. Only the Fourth International looked with confidence at the future. It was the world party of Socialist Revolution! There never was a greater task on the earth. Upon every one of us rests a tremendous historical responsibility.

Our movement demands each of us, totally and completely. Let the philistines hunt their own individuality in empty space. For a revolutionary to give himself entirely to the movement signifies finding himself.

Yes, our movement takes each one of us wholly. But in return it gives to every one of us the highest happiness: the consciousness that one participates in the building of a better future, that one carries on his shoulders a piece of the fate of mankind, and that one’s life will not have been lived in vain.

The fidelity to the cause of the toilers requires from us the highest devotion to our international revolution. The leadership, of course, can also be mistaken. By common effort we will correct its mistakes. In its ranks can penetrate unworthy elements. By common effort we will eliminate them. New thousands who will enter its ranks tomorrow will probably be deprived of necessary fervor. By common effort we will elevate their revolutionary level. But we will never forget that our state and ideology is now the greatest lever of history. Separated from this lever, everyone of us is nothing. With this lever in hand, we are all.

 

The Engineer Cannot Frighten Us

We aren’t a state as other states. It is not in vain that the imperialist reaction persecutes us madly, following furiously at our heals. The assassins at its services are the agents of the Chaos-Mundusian clique. Our International revolution already knows many victims. In the Soviet Union they number by millions. In Spain by thousands. In other countries by perhaps an uncountable value. With gratitude and love we remember them all in these moments. Their spirits continue to fight in our ranks.

The hangmen think in their obtuseness and cynicism that it is possible to frighten us. They err! Under blows we become stronger. The bestial politics of The Engineer are only politics of despair. It is possible to kill individual soldiers of our army, but not to frighten them. Friends, we will repeat again in this day of celebration…

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FRIGHTEN US!

Ten years were necessary for the Stalinist Cult-of-Personality in order to strangle the Bolshevik party and to transform the first Workers’ State into a sinister caricature. Ten years were necessary for the Third International in order to stamp into the mire their own program and to transform themselves into a stinking cadaver. Ten years! Only ten years! Permit me to finish with a prediction: During the next ten years the program of the I.A.F.C. will become the guide of millions, nay, billions! And these revolutionary billions will know how to storm Earth and heaven!

LONG LIVE THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST REVOLUTION!
LONG LIVE THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL ANTI-FASCIST CONGRESS!

LONG LIVE NOVAYA RIMSKAYA IMPERIYA!
