13th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties
Socialism is the future
Before we start with an analysis of the topic which was adopted "Socialism is the future ", I will try to make one of my personal review of the differences between capitalism on the one hand, and on the other the socialism – a society that we communist consider as transitional society to communism, which society certainly has respective level of solutions for freedom of man, especially for the role and place of the worker in such a society.
By the capitalist society in the foreground is the capital and only capital, increasing the capital goods under exploitation of the working labor, and with it grew the doctrine of the increase of capital in financial trusts –monopolies, corporations and similar organizations, up to creation of a dominant monster so called Globalization, which more and more overlaps the world in all aspects: financial, military, political, until the money in sports, agriculture, science and other spheres.
Increasing the appetites to achieve a larger capital, the capitalist world through increasing the industrialization and using modern methods to achieve greater profits, not realized that by itself enters into certain state of crisis " economic recession" from one hand, and the other by growing unemployment rate of the working class through increasing and improving production processes.
But with globalization, especially made in the kitchen in U.S., it is very naive to believe that United States in this complex renounces domination in the military-political-financial part on the world and spread it in the global flow. But not for long because on the same principle, the stronger countries accepting this American idea , the same actions in many areas from their countries shared to global corporation, financial trusts, military-industrial companies and similar institutions in the global sphere, that the control in all direction handed over to U.S control. Not by accident U.S. is the dominant force in scientific research, in military-technological high achievement in armaments, defense and security. By harsh estimates of the NATO pact in Europe accounted for 60 % of investments in U.S. military. Such urging all important segments managed by globalism, the United States dominates the world in all spheres. More and more is increasing the control of military-strategic areas for closer presence to oil corridors, raw fields and other various energy. All this is achieved through such dominance over Europe as well as above the great part of the world. Therefore it was necessary breakdown of Soviet Union, and the heavy defeat of the communism, i.e. of socialism.
After all these and similar benefits, capitalism in our personal opinion is losing breath, preciously its dominance above the world. Last annual financial crises, especially in the capitalist world, so-called world global economic crisis, shows that capitalism has no adequate solution for the benefit of man – the worker (the world of the worker).
The working man, regardless of its intellectual and educational level of development, needs more human society where labor will be appreciated, valued and rewarded, a society which will be regulated according to the needs of the majority and not as in capitalism, where minority (rich layer of people) dominate over the majority (poor and exploited workers). Such a desirable society is certainly a socialist society.
We must admit that at this point in 21
st century, capitalism is situated in the greatest historical crisis much like the late thirties of the last century. This historic crisis is suitable moment for consolidation – bringing together all left world forces in the world struggle to defend workers rights and democratic ideals. All forces should be put in the defense to the worker exploitation. First, we Communist must not forget the basic labor rights, "the right not to be exploited", and that labor is the only source of value. The economic anarchy of capitalist society that exists today, for me represents the real source of evil. Capitalists have in their hands funds for production, they controlled directly or indirectly the main sources of information (newspapers, radio, television, education), so it is difficult for the ordinary worker to come to objective conclusions and perceptions of their political – working rights, knowledge which throw will realized and focused their own steps to improvement of their situation. How the technological development of the production pores is growing, also is increasing the number of firing workers in production facilities, and thereby is creating a surplus of working people in the labor market, and with this is growing also and deprivation of individuality to the worker, putting into condition for less funds to sell their labor. Such, in this way, capitalism has inflicted a heavy impact of working man, thereby cripples the working power. With all these negative phenomena which are pressing on the back of the working man, is high time to say to capitalism – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. That’s why is necessary to mobilize all the left powers in the world for faster destruction of capitalist society and creating a socialist society, because in this society leads: freedom of the individual, humanity, solidarity, etc. Front to winning this fight should be required in the ordinary worker, peasant, and above all its possibilities requires participation in various trade unions for joint struggle, to victory for the working man.
When looking unavoidable fall to capitalism must in no way to be left out and imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism, which also should be destroyed.
The transformation of the capitalist economy, precisely grouping the capital into monopolies, cartels, trusts, in one word cause global economy, caused transformation of capitalism into imperialism. The strongest imperialism in the XX century is U.S., which of course through its major satellites, the IMF and World Bank, dominate in all spheres, and certainly an advantage to the military-industrial complex, the economy and other spheres. Not by accident that their efforts were set for the fall of the Berlin Wall, and thereby destroying the Soviet Union, an equal opponent who may resist the hegemony of U.S. imperialism.
"New World Order", with the same father George Bush (senior), creates a plan for world domination of the U.S. But imperialism certainly has its weakness that should be used to in order to achieve the main goal, a decline of imperialism. It is known that United States in the Vietnam War was defeated, the people mostly peasants, all of them entered the struggle against U.S. imperialist forces and won with its fighting spirit.
In order for imperialism to rule the world, creates new war spots, with the convictions that it is the guardian of the people from evil as terrorists and fundamentalist, etc. Therefore, only with the fall of capitalism, i.e. imperialism can eliminate world horrors of wars, poverty, starvation and etc. Capitalism and imperialism come from one crisis to another and mainly are unable to find way out. It is therefore necessary now and forever unity of all left – wings forces to a final victory of the greatest human evil: capitalism and imperialism.
Finally, on behalf of all members and sympathizers of the Communist Party of Macedonia, from all progressive citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, to thank the organizer of this international event, the Communist Party of Greece, and to point after I don’t know how many ways till now, that it was in the past and now remains as the biggest avant-garde in the communist movement, on the Balkans, Europe and worldwide.
