Communism as a Camouflage of the Russian Empire #
The history of the 20th century requires a radical revision. We must stop viewing communism solely as an ideological conflict between labor and capital. At its core, Soviet communism was a global concept of Russian imperial enslavement. Its essence was not social justice, but the systematic decapitation of other peoples through the generation of artificial social conflicts.
The mechanism was ingenious in its cruelty:
- Infiltration: The use of class rhetoric to penetrate the national fabric of other nations and states.
- Generating conflict: Inciting internal friction to weaken the cohesion of society.
- Eliminating elites: Under the guise of “struggle against the bourgeoisie”, Moscow physically and politically eliminated any indigenous elite who possessed integrity, knowledge and national pride.
The Paradox of Grandson and Grandfather #
Today we are witnessing the peak of this historical cynicism in Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelensky, the grandson of a Red Army officer who fought with blood for that system, is today fighting for the bare survival of his family and people from that same army. This is clear evidence that the Russian imperial spirit is “eating” both its own children and its own history, using past victories as weapons for today’s enslavement.
Appeal to European and Western Institutions: Request for Revision of Memory #
Therefore, we call on universities, research institutes, and creators of educational programs in Europe and the West in general, to stop their naive interpretation of Soviet history.
- Stop teaching the USSR as an ideological project: Start teaching it as a phase of Russian imperial expansion.
- Introduce the term “National Decapitation” and expose historical misconceptions: Expose how the “fight against fascism” has been misused to install a new form of colonialism.
Without this revision, Europe and the West will remain blind to the hybrid methods that continue to destroy the integrity of other peoples and states today.
