On the 28th of November was the 200th birthday of the great Frederick Engels, co-founder of Marxism. Numerous activities and actions have been made on that important occasion for the international proletariat and the oppressed peoples in the world. That there were so many activities on this 200th birthday of Engels shows the significance of this great spearhead and his work. There was such a huge variety of forms to celebrate that day, which were made by progressive, revolutionary and communist forces. The forms of activities and actions included graffiti, demonstrations, events, fireworks, wall-newspapers, posters, etc... These activities and actions showed in a lively way, how the heritage and work of Friedrich Engels lives on in the struggles today and leads the progressive forces to develop the struggle in the service of the proletariat and the masses.
Frederick Engels, as one of the five greatest leaders of the international proletariat, showed us in a convincing way, that the ideology of the proletariat is not a „lifeless“ formula, but a struggling ideology, because it is the only proletarian and scientific ideology. That is why the true heirs of the work of Frederick Engels are the parties and organizations who struggle today for the scientific application of the proletarian ideology, today Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and with that struggle for the leadership of the struggles of the masses. This leadership is expressed in the reconstitution and constitution of the Communist Parties and with that in the struggle for the masses, to implement the hegemony of the proletariat within the struggle. This means mainly the struggle against right-opportunism, as well as against „left“ sectarianism.
The ideology of the proletariat, which was founded by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels and developed in two further stages to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, is an integrated whole, a unity, which can not be separated from each other. This ideology lives with its application in every country. This 200th birthday of Frederick Engels and especially the „International declaration on the 200th birthday of Frederick Engels“ from the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties and organizations [press here for the declaration in English] shows in a lively way the presence of the work of Engels today. The activities on the 200th birthday of Frederick Engels show as well, that it is his heritage, which lives in the ideology and its application of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, which is becoming more and more the leadership of the new wave of Proletarian World Revolution today, leads more and more the struggles of the masses against imperialism and revisionism and by that shows the way to take the next steps of the tasks of the proletariat and oppressed peoples on the world, the new-democratic revolution and socialist revolution with the goal to communism. The revolutionary and communist forces are measured by their action, by their struggle to change the world, which always has to rely on the objective reality and contradictions in the world, how it was taught by Engels. This 200th birthday of Frederick Engels was an excellent expression of that „action“ in service of the international proletariat and the oppressed peoples of the world, the unification of the International Communist Movement and the Proletarian World revolution!
Proletarians of all countries and oppressed peoples, unite!
Long live the 200th birthday of Frederick Engels!
Down with revisionism! Long live Maoism!
