RE: RUSSIAN ‘LEFT’ SPLIT OVER UKRAINE WAR

 

Opposition current in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation

by Activists

[link removed]

Appeal to members of the CPRF and LKSM, deputies and candidates for
deputies at various levels from the CPRF, political and trade union
activists, and citizens who voted for the CPRF, to members of the CPRF
and deputies from the CPRF at all levels.

Comrades, members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and
deputies of the CPRF, we address you with a friendly request. We ask
you to publicly demand an immediate end to the fratricidal war between
the peoples of Russia and Ukraine, and to come up with a transitional
programme to change post-war Russia and the world. And also to take
this position in intra-party discussions.

We are convinced that you and I have no right to remain silent during
the catastrophe that is unfolding in the former Soviet Union. A
catastrophe that has had no precedent since the Great Patriotic War.
Especially when the deaths of children and adults in Donetsk, Luhansk,
Odessa or the crimes of the Ukrainian ultra-right cannot be tolerated
as a justification for Putin’s military adventure.

This war is blatantly imperialist [1
[[link removed]]]. The
ideologues of imperial nationalism, who dream of decommunization
according to their own script, are behind it. Russian and Ukrainian
soldiers, mostly from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, die in it,
hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are forced to leave their homes
and millions live in fear of bombing and shelling. The war will hit
the workers of both countries, it is they who will have to pay for
this bloody bacchanalia. If Ukraine needs “denazification”, this
task can only be solved by the Ukrainians themselves. On the contrary,
the Kremlin’s aggression will only lead to the rise of far-right and
anti-Russian sentiments, legitimizing in the eyes of many the previous
crimes of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Today, hundreds of thousands,
millions of Russian-speaking Ukrainians, who have nothing to do with
neo-Nazism, call Russia an occupier and the events taking place the
Ukrainian Patriotic War. Do we like such analogies? Any brotherly
relations or alliances with the Ukrainians after this adventure of the
Putin regime can be forgotten forever.

Russia will not be the same after this one anyway. But it depends on
you and me, on our actions or our inaction, what these changes will
be.

By supporting the war, we will disgrace ourselves, the Party and the
whole Communist idea for decades. But by making use of the emerging
anti-war consensus in society to bring about a radical change in the
interests of the majority, we will raise the Communists’ credibility
enormously. To do this we need to wrest power from an entrenched
handful of oligarchs and militarists so that such a tragedy will never
again be possible. Such wars happen because of glaring inequalities.
Because a tiny percentage of people living in luxury and security
behind the walls of their palaces and bunkers can arbitrarily make
decisions that make the lives of hundreds of millions a living hell
and a bad dream. Under any sanctions, the elites will find a way to
keep their money and property - at the expense of the people.

As the largest opposition parliamentary party in Russia, the CPRF,
which received public support in the last Duma elections, must take an
active part in the anti-war protest and combine it with demands for
socio-economic restructuring of the country.

State Duma deputies from the KPRF Smolin, Markhaev, Matveev, Moscow
City Duma deputy Stupin, a number of regional Komsomol organizations
and many others have already advocated an immediate end to this war,
an initiative “KPRF/MLKSM members against the war” has
emerged. [2
[[link removed]]], but this
is not enough.

We urge you, our comrades, Party and Komsomol members, CPRF deputies
at all levels to take steps:

* Openly support and disseminate information about the appeal on your
resources.
* Write or call your fellow CPRF deputies and personally ask them to
join the appeal.
* Discuss the appeal at meetings and gatherings of their party
organisations, CPRF meetings in parliaments at all levels, and adopt
resolutions based on these discussions.
* Using any tribune, including the parliamentary one, as well as
street meetings with voters, demand a simultaneous end to the war
between fraternal nations and social transformation in our country.

RE: COMRADE THOMAS PIKETTY, WELCOME TO THE SOCIALIST MOVEMENT
 

Yet for Piketty, like countless others across the world, the past
three decades of what he calls “hypercapitalism” pushed him to
question accepted truths about the prevailing economic system. And
while the author still shied away from advocating socialism at the
time of the publication of Capital in the Twenty-First Century, his
2013 best-selling magnum opus on inequality, he’s now come to
embrace the term — arguing that despite the baggage of its
connotations of Stalinism, “It remains the most appropriate term to
describe the idea of an alternative economic system to capitalism.”

Social democracy is the future? Really?

David Berger

      =====

I am a great admirer of Thomas Piketty. His research on inequality has
had the biggest ideological impact on economic macro analysis of any
economist since Paul Samuelson, or maybe Keynes. And in a positive
direction. Lately he has been blogging more on politics. His
"socialism" is not new. It differs little, for example, from Karl
Kautsky, the German socialist, and renegade from Communism, except
Piketty never mentions class struggle. Like many previous social
democrats, he rejects the revolutionary path to socialism.
 Interestingly, this means he rejects the socialism of every country
that actually calls itself socialist. Furthermore, his reforms, which
are based on his monumental history of capital, and include an
"incremental" but aggressive expansion of the "welfare state" into the
realms of wealth, are exactly the reforms that ruling classes have,
without exception, drowned in blood, and are exactly the reforms that
revolutions -- a change in the ruling social classes -- are needed to
implement. For an example in a different era, consider the goal of an
incremental end to colonial taxes on tea founded on pleas to a
colonial regime. I submit Piketty's reforms presume an utterly
unrealistic measure of respect for democracy on the part of
capitalists; a "respect" that would permit them to accede to the
voters voting away most of their private wealth -- without resort to
violence, or destruction of the democracy.  Absent such capture of
wealth, Piketty's own math shows that capitalist wealth will continue
to concentrate and accumulate, along with the vast political
corruption of the public interest such concentration incentivizes.

I do not disagree in principle that there can be peaceful paths to
socialism -- which in reality does not actually wipe out capitalism,
because only relative and advancing abundance can truly accomplish
that. But the revolutionary path does permit the establishment of a
different ruling class coalition in which bourgeois interests are not
dominant. Most likely, however, only the increasing strength of
existing socialism, not denouncing it, can effect a global balance of
forces where progressive and peaceful transitions are possible. My two
cents.

I SWORE AN OATH — AN OATH TO DO NO HARM.  - DR. ROY GUERRERO,
UVALDE'S ONLY PEDIATRICIAN 

Testimony before Congress - June 8, 2022
[[link removed]]

[[link removed]]
 

Listen here [[link removed]]

My name is Dr. Roy Guerrero. I am a board certified pediatrician and I
was present at Uvalde Memorial Hospital the day of the massacre on May
24th, 2022 at Robb Elementary School. 

I was called here today as a witness. But I showed up because I am a
doctor. Because how many years ago I swore an oath — An oath to do
no harm.

After witnessing first hand the carnage in my hometown of Uvalde, to
stay silent would have betrayed that oath. Inaction is harm. Passivity
is harm. Delay is harm. So here I am. 

Not to plead, not to beg or to convince you of anything. But to do my
job. And hope that by doing so it inspires the members of this House
to do theirs.

I have lived in Uvalde my whole life. In fact, I attended Robb
Elementary School myself as a kid. As often is the case with us grown
ups, we remember a lot of the good and not so much of the bad. So I
don’t recall homework or spelling bees, I remember how much I loved
going to school and what a joyful time it was.

Back then we were able to run between classrooms with ease to visit
our friends. And I remember the way the cafeteria smelled lunchtime on
Hamburger Thursdays.

It was right around lunchtime on a Tuesday that a gunman entered the
school through the main door without restriction, massacred 19
students and two teachers and changed the way every student at Robb
and their families will remember that school, forever.

I doubt they’ll remember the smell of the cafeteria or the laughter
ringing in the hallways. Instead they’ll be haunted by the memory of
screams and bloodshed, panic and chaos. Police shouting, parents
wailing. I know I will never forget what I saw that day.

For me, that day started like any typical Tuesday at our Pediatric
clinic - moms calling for coughs, boogers, sports physicals – right
before the summer rush. School was out in two days then summer camps
would guarantee some grazes and ankle sprains. Injuries that could be
patched up and fixed with a Mickey Mouse sticker as a reward.

Then at 12:30 business as usual stopped and with it my heart. A
colleague from a San Antonio trauma center texted me a message: 'Why
are the pediatric surgeons and anesthesiologists on call for a mass
shooting in Uvalde?'

I raced to the hospital to find parents outside yelling children’s
names in desperation and sobbing as they begged for any news related
to their child. Those mother’s cries I will never get out of my
head.

As I entered the chaos of the ER, the first casualty I came across was
Miah Cerrillo. She was sitting in the hallway. Her face was still,
still clearly in shock, but her whole body was shaking from the
adrenaline coursing through it. The white Lilo and Stitch shirt she
wore was covered in blood and her shoulder was bleeding from a
shrapnel injury.

Sweet Miah. I’ve known her my whole life. As a baby she survived
major liver surgeries against all odds. And once again she’s here.
As a survivor. Inspiring us with her story today and her bravery.

When I saw Miah sitting there, I remembered having seen her parents
outside. So after quickly examining two other patients of mine in the
hallway with minor injuries, I raced outside to let them know Miah was
alive. I wasn’t ready for their next urgent and desperate question:
'Where's Elena?'

Elena, is Miah’s 8-year-old sister who was also at Robb at the time
of the shooting. I had heard from some nurses that there were “two
dead children” who had been moved to the surgical area of the
hospital. As I made my way there, I prayed that I wouldn’t find her.

I didn’t find Elena, but what I did find was something no prayer
will ever relieve.

Two children, whose bodies had been so pulverized by the bullets fired
at them, decapitated, whose flesh had been so ripped apart, that the
only clue as to their identities was the blood spattered cartoon
clothes still clinging to them. Clinging for life and finding none.

I could only hope these two bodies were a tragic exception to the list
of survivors. But as I waited there with my fellow Uvalde doctors,
nurses, first responders and hospital staff for other casualties we
hoped to save, they never arrived. All that remained was the bodies of
17 more children and the two teachers who cared for them, who
dedicated their careers to nurturing and respecting the awesome
potential of every single one. Just as we doctors do.

I’ll tell you why I became a pediatrician. Because I knew that
children were the best patients. They accept the situation as it’s
explained to them. You don’t have to coax them into changing their
lifestyles in order to get better or plead them to modify their
behavior as you do with adults.

No matter how hard you try to help an adult, their path to healing is
always determined by how willing they are to take action. Adults are
stubborn. We’re resistant to change even when the change will make
things better for ourselves. But especially when we think we’re
immune to the fallout.

Why else would there have been such little progress made in Congress
to stop gun violence?

Innocent children all over the country today are dead because laws and
policy allows people to buy weapons before they’re legally even old
enough to buy a pack of beer. They are dead because restrictions have
been allowed to lapse. They’re dead because there are no rules about
where guns are kept. Because no one is paying attention to who is
buying them.

The thing I can’t figure out is whether our politicians are failing
us out of stubbornness, passivity or both.

I said before that as grown ups we have a convenient habit of
remembering the good and forgetting the bad. Never more so than when
it comes to our guns. Once the blood is rinsed away from the bodies of
our loved ones, and scrubbed off the floors or the schools and
supermarkets and churches, the carnage from each scene is erased from
our collective conscience and we return once again to nostalgia.

To the rose tinted view of our second amendment as a perfect
instrument of American life, no matter how many lives are lost.

I chose to be a pediatrician. I chose to take care of children.
Keeping them safe from preventable diseases I can do. Keeping them
safe from bacteria and brittle bones I can do. But making sure our
children are safe from guns, that’s the job of our politicians and
leaders.

In this case, you are the doctors and our country is the patient. We
are lying on the operating table, riddled with bullets like the
children of Robb Elementary and so many other schools. We are bleeding
out and you are not there.

My oath as a doctor means that I signed up to save lives. I do my job.
And I guess it turns out that I am here to plead. To beg. To please,
please do yours.

These events are being held prior to the the upcoming annual

marching to the UN Missions of Switzerland, European Union, United
Kingdom, Germany, and US to call them out for not taking the necessary
steps to stop the COVID-19 pandemic and save millions of lives, and

Since the fall of 2020, these five Western nations have stood in the
way of efforts to temporarily waive international intellectual
property rights so that COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines can
be immediately mass produced and used everywhere around the world,
particularly in the Global South. As a result, millions get sick and
many die, the pandemic keeps spreading, and new viral variants emerge
that threaten all of us everywhere.

INSPIRED BY OUR PAST, ORGANIZING FOR OUR FUTURE  --  THE
COMMEMORATION OF THE HISTORIC JUNE 12, 1982 DEMONSTRATION FOR NUCLEAR
DISARMAMENT AND HUMAN NEEDS - JUNE 12

 

June 12, 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the largest peace
demonstration in United States history. On this historic day, one
million people marched from the United Nations, filled the streets of
New York City, and rallied in Central Park to demand an end to the
nuclear arms race.

While the June 12th demonstration anchored the efforts, many other
important parts of the mobilization occurred before and after that
historic day, including the nonviolent civil disobedience actions at
each of the five nuclear nations' missions to the UN on June 14th; a
major international conference; an interfaith religious service; and
scores of cultural and educational activities.

Throughout these days, people from all over the world spoke with one
voice to say "No More Hiroshimas," paving the way for a future without
nuclear weapons. Forty years later, we invite you to join us for a
series of virtual events to learn from those who organized the June
12th, 1982 demonstration, as well as current activists who continue to
work for the total elimination of nuclear weapons.
