Why the Communist Party is not a communist party. About the party

The epic with the election of the governor of Primorye is remarkable not only in terms of the behavior of the Central Election Commission and the candidate from the ruling party Andrei Tarasenko, but also the actions of his main opponent Andrei Ishchenko and the entire Communist Party of the Russian Federation. First, Ishchenko went on a hunger strike, but broke it off less than a day later, after Gennady Zyuganov began sending urgent signals to the Kremlin in Moscow, ranging from requests to threats to hold a protest. The Primorsky candidate liked the “notes of interaction” that he heard in the words of Ella Pamfilova, but when the elections were eventually canceled altogether, Ishchenko announced his intention to go to court and challenge this decision. He did not even hide his sincere conviction that it was enough to recognize his victory - and falsified votes can simply be ignored.

The current position of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - taking into account all the events of the past year - is best described by the word "juicy". On the one hand, the protests against the pension reform and the disgusting behavior of the authorities in the elections only play into the hands of the left: you can actually “take power” or, at least, declare your ambitions. On the other hand, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is in no hurry to do this: the potential risks from a direct conflict with both United Russia and the Kremlin somewhat cool the revolutionary mood in the minds of party members. True, from the side it inevitably gives the impression that the party rests its feet on the ground in front of the armored car, on which circumstances are pushing it, but the communists themselves are sure that they are doing everything right: waiting for their victory in the legal field is much more convenient than fighting, fighting and fighting again no guaranteed result.

Waiting for a revolutionary situation

The government itself gave the communists a big psychological advantage in their political struggle, "crossing the line with pension reform," says Vadim Kumin, a former Moscow mayoral candidate from the Communist Party. “The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has taken a consistent position: we do not support the reform and do not support the initiatives of the liberal government at all,” he told Novaya Gazeta. - In my opinion, the only way out of power now is the creation of a coalition government. People are already expressing distrust [of the current government] by arranging a protest vote.”

At the same time, Kumin believes that in no case should the Communist Party be accused of inaction: it was the communists who wanted to initiate a referendum on pension reform, they also took people to the square in Moscow with posters “All power to the workers” and “Down with the capitalist ministers” ( in July, 12 thousand people came out under the banner of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, in early September - 9 thousand. — V.P.). “The Communist Party is advancing, fighting,” declares a Moscow communist.

The authorities, however, suppress these attempts of an “offensive” quite easily: the topic of the referendum was eventually “chewed”, and the rallies in Moscow were agreed upon, therefore, initially they did not expect any problems. It seems that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation does not commit more daring acts, such as the mass withdrawal of supporters to the squares without the consent of the authorities, and simply does not go into open conflict in the regions with proteges of the authorities (the same Ishchenko at the very beginning of the election scandal declared that he supported Putin's policy, although dissociated himself from United Russia). Cobblestones, of course, have long been “not our method,” but the same Communist Party of the Russian Federation could, as a sudden feint, unite with Navalny: he offered his participation in the protests related to Primorye. But the Communist Party of the Russian Federation once again strongly dissociated itself from any services of the oppositionist: Navalny "wants to enter paradise on someone else's hump," said Vasily Kashin, deputy chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

Communists prefer to work within the legal field, since any way they go beyond it is convenient for the authorities: they can uncover their clubs, - Pavel Grudinin, a former presidential candidate from the Communist Party, is sure. On the territory of the law, the communists have important victories: the same Gennady Zyuganov did not ask, but “demanded” from Putin, as the guarantor of the Constitution, to deal with falsifications - and this eventually happened. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation continues to be the main legal opposition association and, in fact, alone opposes the ruling party. The communists are the only ones who have an ideology (which, according to Grudinin, neither the Liberal Democratic Party, nor the “SR”, nor even Navalny have), and it is easy to go into battle with it, since “the foundations of the state are destroyed, there is neither honor nor conscience in power ”, says the ex-presidential candidate. After all, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation also has ambitions to become the main political force in the country.

But again: in order to change the state ideology, a “revolutionary situation” must develop - as in the same Armenia, where people took to the square, and the government changed, because the police and the army sided with the people.

Russia is also close to a “revolutionary situation”, since “negative selection” has been going on in power for many years. But as in Armenia, it will definitely not happen.

“If you take OMON from Chechnya and send it to disperse protests in Vladivostok, then the police will apparently not take the side of the population. Just a civil war will begin, ”Grudinin states. But this does not mean that the struggle is meaningless: the task of taking power by legal means has not gone away, but no one said that it would be easy.

We sit well

The strength and motives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation should not be overestimated, since it is quite comfortable in the role of the main opposition party in the current system of power. “The Communist Party of the Russian Federation maintains good relations with the Kremlin, sometimes quite sincerely - as in matters of foreign policy - agreeing with it. At the same time, the Communists have more autonomy than the LDPR and the SR, and the party understands that the Kremlin will not make special efforts to keep it alive,” says political analyst Grigory Golosov. “Therefore, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation uses “diversified strategies” in order, on the one hand, not to cause great irritation in the Kremlin, and on the other hand, to strengthen its electoral base.” The pension reform has just become a testing ground for running in such strategies: communists will join the party to promote people dissatisfied with the increase in the retirement age, but they will not take to the streets once again so that the inhabitants of the Kremlin towers are not very nervous.

The new electoral potential that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has formed following the results of the pension reform and the September 9 elections, it makes sense to transform not into a momentary conflict with the Kremlin, but into an element of bargaining on some sensitive issues for the party, political scientist Rostislav Turovsky suggests the logic of the communists. Although the strength of the party in the regions of Russia has not increased so much that one can talk about its total dominance, but this is enough to solve local problems.

“In the current political system, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is building its strategy with an eye on the next Duma elections,” says Turovsky. - Bargaining with the federal authorities over each position is inevitable: although there are more opportunities, the room for maneuver is still limited. This is a positional game: for example, this year it was important for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to secure Klychkov in the Oryol region, and a consensus on it with the Kremlin and with the support of United Russia was reached. But in Primorye, there is simply no need to go for broke by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, because an open conflict can be fraught with consequences in other regions. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation does not have a purely physical opportunity to overcome the ruling party on a national scale, so it remains to be negotiated. “Sometimes losing elections with a good result for the Communist Party is even more profitable than winning, because the “red governors” can always come into conflict with the center, and this will backfire on the party,” Turovsky states.

And the party simply turned out to be conceptually unprepared for the voter who came to it as a result of all the mistakes of the authorities. “This is an undeserved voter: he came, but the Communist Party of the Russian Federation does not know what to do with him,” says political strategist Vitaly Shklyarov. “The party is used to getting its interest in the Duma and is not ready to change anything – which is a pity.” Everything can still change, because sooner or later the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is waiting for an update in the leadership (the current strategy of the party is a direct consequence of the position of Gennady Zyuganov, Shklyarov believes), and then strengthening the party for the communists who replaced their leader is very beneficial: they may have ambitions tougher than the current ones.

However, not everything depends only on the Communist Party. “The fact that the presidential administration has no plans to strengthen the parliamentary opposition is a fact. The presence of legal force for the absorption of a protest vote is considered dangerous, from their point of view, ”Shklyarov is sure. The communists, who have extensive experience of interacting with the Kremlin in 1996, also understand this, when they made the first big compromise; and in 2004, when the Kremlin almost caused a split in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, showing the party members their place. Therefore, if the current protest potential, which has come into the hands of the Communist Party, is "merged" by the party itself, this will cause disappointment, but certainly not surprise. It's more familiar and safer - how can you blame it?

Attitude of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to the national question

For a truly communist party, the principle of proletarian internationalism is at the forefront of all its activities, and this is expressed even in the main slogan of the communists of the whole world -

"Proletarians of all countries, unite!"

Why is this the main slogan of the communists?

Yes, because only by uniting the proletariat of different countries and peoples can the world bourgeoisie be defeated!

The CPRF views the national question in a completely different way. On the one hand, it seems to declare the friendship of peoples:

"The Party is fighting ... for the re-establishment of the fraternal Union of Soviet peoples ..." [see. Program of the Communist Party], and on the other hand, declares in the same place in his Program that "the tasks of solving the Russian question and the struggle for socialism essentially coincide."

These are the words of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and its actions are even more odious - the “Russian Lad” movement, initiated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, unites in its ranks not workers and rural workers, but 130 bourgeois-patriotic, nationalist and Orthodox structures, such as Holy Russia, the Cossack Foundation "For the Fatherland" and the International Slavic Academy! Those. terry monarchists, nationalists and religious leaders, whose task is to contribute in every possible way to the prosperity of the ruling class in Russia today - the bourgeoisie, and, consequently, to the unrestrained oppression and exploitation of the working masses of our country!

Arguing in its Program about the fraternal Union of Soviet peoples, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation simultaneously hates these peoples with fierce hatred, demanding legislative restrictions on the entry into Russia of migrants from Central Asia, who, generally speaking, are representatives of those same Soviet peoples who lived under Soviet socialism among themselves very amicably. Why did these peoples not please the Communist Party of the Russian Federation today? The fact that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation fulfills the will of the national bourgeoisie of Russia and the Central Asian republics, which are simply engaged in dividing the market among themselves, including the labor market, without which profit and appropriation of other people's labor is impossible.

Which class benefits from the ardent nationalism of the Communist Party? Again, only and exclusively the bourgeoisie!!!

The classics of Marxism-Leninism proved with all irrefutability that the transition from capitalism to socialism is IMPOSSIBLE except through a socialist revolution. History has repeatedly confirmed their conclusion.

As for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Zyuganov's most famous phrase is probably the notorious "... Our country has exhausted the limit on revolutions and other upheavals ...", which says only one thing, that the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not only an outright lackey of the bourgeois class, but also not a very smart person.

Revolutions cannot be banned. A revolution is a change in the socio-economic system, cardinal changes in all areas of society, during which the ruling class in society changes. Revolutions are demanded by life itself, the very development of productive forces, human society, science and technology. Revolutions arise regardless of the desire of any specific individuals, this is the result of the action of the objective laws of the development of human society. And since the old ruling class never voluntarily leaves, in a good way, these changes are usually brought about by revolutionary uprisings. Such were, for example, all bourgeois revolutions, when the bourgeois class, which had grown up in the depths of feudal society, overthrew the feudal class. All socialist revolutions were the same, when the oppressed proletarian class overthrew their oppressors, the bourgeois class.

But the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and its leader Zyuganov categorically disagree with the laws of social development. They completely deny the socialist revolution, suggesting that the working people go towards socialism through political struggle in the bourgeois parliament. The fact that this path is completely unrealistic and unpromising does not bother them. Exactly the opposite, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is very happy with this - after all, this party lives very well, receiving huge money from the Russian bourgeois authorities for its alleged protection of the interests of workers.

Would the bourgeoisie pay a lot of money to those who really want to overthrow it? Never! This means that the activity of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the form in which it is carried out is beneficial to the bourgeoisie!
What does the Communist Party of the Russian Federation think about the dictatorship of the proletariat

If the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is afraid of revolutions like fire, then just mentioning the dictatorship of the proletariat, on the principles of which any true Communist Party should stand, will immediately have enough kondrashka. We look at the Program, listen to the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Zyuganov and see that we were not mistaken - the way it is.

In the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, in the speeches of Zyuganov and in the official documents of the party, there is not even a mention of the dictatorship of the proletariat!

But V.I. Lenin directly pointed out that anyone who denies the dictatorship of the proletariat is an enemy of the working class and an enemy of socialism, because it is impossible to build a socialist society without the dictatorship of the proletariat!

In a class society, where two main social classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, participate in material production, only either the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or the dictatorship of the proletariat is possible. There can be no other state, which the Communist Party of the Russian Federation constantly talks about, without specifying its class essence and calling it the "state of the working people"!

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation invites Russian workers to go not to the scientific socialism of Marx and Lenin, but to some kind of “socialism of the 21st century”, “new socialism” (“neo-socialism”), in which labor and capital will somehow get along peacefully. Can a wolf and a sheep, a man and a tick that feeds on his blood, live together peacefully? It's completely out of the question! One of them must yield to the other. And historical practice shows that whenever there is talk about the "peaceful coexistence of labor and capital", in fact it turns out that this means only the complete subordination of labor to capital. That is exactly what happens with the Communist Party.

Let's see what KPRF's "socialism of the 21st century" consists of and what are its main features.

The CPRF sees its main task as:

"the establishment of the democratic power of the working people, the broad people's patriotic forces led by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation." [Cm. Program of the Communist Party].

This party is going to:

“actively revive and develop direct democracy…” [See. Program of the Communist Party].

What is "democracy"?

This is something that can never be, and what the bourgeoisie always shouts about, covering their interest with talk about the people in general.

Why can't there be democracy?

Because it makes no sense for the people to rule over themselves. Dominate always OVER SOMEONE else! Over the one who needs to be forced to do your will. In a class society, not the people always rule, but a part of the people - the class. In a classless society, i.e. under full communism, it is not required to rule over anyone at all - people will become so conscious and educated that a communist society will function on the basis of self-government, high self-consciousness of all citizens, who will not need any coercion.

Communists openly say that under socialism the proletariat will rule. Who will he rule over? Above the bourgeoisie and the bourgeois elements, their fragments, so that they cannot again become oppressors and exploiters. Under socialism, the overwhelming majority of the people rule over an insignificant minority.

And only the bourgeoisie, always constituting a deliberately small part of the people of the country, hides its dominance over the majority with words about the power of the whole people. And this is not at all accidental, the bourgeoisie needs this deception, because otherwise the majority simply will not obey it! This is the true meaning of the “power of the people”, to which the Communist Party of the Russian Federation calls!

What will happen in the end? And the same thing that is now - everything under the KPRF "renewed socialism" will be decided by the bourgeoisie. And it is she who, under the talk of "real democracy" will again be the ruling class! It directly follows from this that the “neo-socialism” of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is typical capitalism, exactly the same as we have today!

It may be objected that the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation says a lot about specific measures to improve the social situation of workers and even raises the question of nationalization.

Yes, there are such provisions in the CPRF Program.

But what do they really mean in practice under conditions when everything is controlled by the bourgeoisie, when private ownership of the means of social production is allowed in the country?

And the fact that any social benefits for the working people will be temporary, it is difficult to knock them out from the bourgeoisie, but it very easily and quickly takes them back. How much we talked about "Swedish socialism" and "welfare state" states during perestroika! And where are they now? No, not at all! European working people lived relatively well while the USSR was alive. At that time, the European bourgeoisie needed to smooth out social contradictions in their society so that the proletarian masses, looking at the USSR, would not strive for socialism. But after the destruction of Soviet socialism, the European bourgeoisie no longer had any need to spend huge material resources on the “worthy” life of their employees. Social guarantees for employees in Europe began to rapidly fold. And today only “horns and legs” remain from them.

The situation is similar with nationalization, which Zyuganov often talks about and which is very popular with most fans of the Communist Party. Nationalization of nationalization - discord.

What is nationalization?

This is the transfer of the means of production from private ownership to state ownership. And here the key point is the state, which becomes the new owner of the means of production, its essence.

If it is a socialist state, i.e. dictatorship of the proletariat, then nationalization is undoubtedly a progressive and necessary measure capable of fundamentally improving the social and economic position of all the working masses in the country.

But if we are talking about a bourgeois state, such as our Russia, for example, then the position of the working people from the transfer of the means of production from private hands to the ownership of such a state WILL NOT CHANGE in the least!

Yes, because the bourgeois state (the state of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie) is a kind of committee for managing the affairs of the entire bourgeois class in the country, something like hired managers. In fact, the means of production both belonged to the bourgeoisie (a specific individual or several individuals), so they will belong to private individuals, only a little more of them, but still an insignificantly small part of the country's population. And as private individuals (big capital) received all the profits from these means of production, so they will receive them, only now this profit will be divided not into units, but into tens or hundreds of people who are members of the bourgeois class and have access to the state trough .

In understanding the essence of the bourgeois state lies the root of the issue of corruption in our country, about which Zyuganov talks a lot, cursing and stigmatizing it. As long as capitalism exists in Russia, corruption will flourish in it. And all for the same reason - the state funds coming into the treasury of the Russian state from our taxes and payments, the class of the bourgeoisie (big bourgeoisie) perceives with their own personal means!

The treasury of Russia is the general treasury of the bourgeois class. This money is for them, and not for you and me, not for the common people, not for the working masses.

That is why Russia is constantly reducing spending on social guarantees for the population, introducing new fines and payments, increasing tariffs, rising prices, privatizing everything and everything, etc. Our Russian capital wants to get fat even more! And he simply cannot do otherwise - otherwise he will not be able to withstand competition with foreign capital, and that will simply gobble him up.

What is the conclusion from all this?

As you can see, the CPRF DOES NOT MEET any of the main criteria of a true communist party!!!
Conclusion:

The Communist Party is NOT a communist party.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is a purely bourgeois party. It reflects the interests of the middle and petty bourgeoisie in Russia.

The goal of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not socialism, but the preservation of capitalism.

The method of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is to fool the working masses with beautiful words about “people's power” and “new socialism”.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is the main pillar of the bourgeois regime existing in the country, because it fetters the revolutionary energy of the masses, directing their legitimate and just protest against the existing system on the path where it is IMPOSSIBLE to defeat the bourgeoisie and capitalism!

The "Communists of Russia" on the example of the Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which preceded their plenum, decided to show the difference between the camps of the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks (the members of the Communist Party of Russia include Zyuganov's fellow party members to the second). “Limousines with pot-bellied persons will drive up to the luxurious building of the Zyuganov Congress every five minutes, to the modest building of the budget “Cosmos” (we are talking about a hotel on Prospekt Mira) modestly dressed, lean party members will walk briskly from the nearest metro station,” the message said. . The building of the Izmailovo concert hall, where the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation gathered on Saturday, can hardly be called luxurious, and limousines could not be found in the nearest radius.

Positioning themselves as Bolsheviks, the “Communists of Russia”, however, turned out to be right about something else: “not a word against churchmen” was heard at the congress. The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has not hidden for a long time that he follows Orthodox traditions (for example, in 2011 he visited the temple to venerate the belt of the Virgin), and his fellow party leader in the fall headed the committee on public associations and religious organizations. In front of the entrance to the Izmailovo KZ, the communists were met by a tent with "savory pies from the monastery," as the inscription said. A couple of hours after the start of the event, they were gone.

Some mongrel

In the course of his speech at the congress, Gennady Zyuganov put a hairpin on the communist rivals only once, and then in passing: speaking about the results of the Duma elections, he mentioned a certain spoiler party that was pulling the votes of his wards. So he repeatedly called the party. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation even tried to force the "Communists of Russia" to change its name through the court, insisting on the excessive similarity of the name and symbols. The arbitration court refused to consider the claim.

Suraikin is sure that the "Communists of Russia" and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation have little in common: his party lives on self-financing, as the Bolsheviks should, while the parliamentary communists are chic. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, in addition, spoils the life of the “Communists of Russia”, “telling everything” about competitors to foreign colleagues. Political technologists working for Zyuganov are put forward as the spoiler party of the "Communists of Russia", Suraikin believes. In this regard, he urged party members to be more careful in choosing allies. “Some microscopic organizations, having received registration from the hands of the authorities, become just the same mongrel in the hands of the Zyuganov Mensheviks,” Suraykin figuratively put it. However, he did not rule out that in extreme cases it is possible to cooperate with ordinary members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation who have justified their trust, and, he is sure, there are “thousands of such” among the followers of Gennady Zyuganov.

Zyuganov, speaking at his party's congress on Saturday, focused on familiar opponents. “do not hide the faces of the party of oligarchs and officials. was never able to abandon the role of an appendage of the party in power. It performs the same function from the other side,” he listed. The communist did not make a sensation when he spoke about the "orange" revolutionaries, who, in his opinion, "use anti-corruption rhetoric to return the country to the times of Yeltsin and Gaidar."

Enemy of my enemy

The leaders of the conflicting communists agreed in the assessments of the liberals. According to Maxim Suraykin, "the liberal right-wing alternative personified by Kudrin and Navalny" is more dangerous than the current government. The party in power - United Russia - is full of claims from both sides. Against the background of the centenary of the October Revolution, they are especially outraged by the behavior of the former prosecutor of the Crimea, State Duma deputy, who initiated the verification of the film "Matilda". “There has never been and could not have been such lawlessness before,” Sergey Malinkovich, deputy chairman of the Communists of Russia, was indignant, christening Poklonskaya a “fanatic monarchist.” Gennady Zyuganov was outraged by Poklonskaya's words that Lenin could be put on a par with Hitler. True, if the Communist Party of the Russian Federation saw in the actions of Poklonskaya a flaw in United Russia, then the Communists of Russia considered this an action of the House of Romanov.

An equally violent reaction from the communists of both parties is the approval of the leader of the White movement during the Civil War, Kolchak. The participants of the March plenum of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation applauded the stories about the PR campaign with the rubber doll-Kolchak, and in the ranks of the "Communists of Russia" due to a misunderstanding, things almost came to assault. “I don’t understand, are you for Kolchak?” one of the participants in the meeting of the “Communists of Russia” shouted menacingly, interrupting the speech of the party leadership. However, the conflict between the delegates was quickly settled.

There were also points of contact in the statements of the leaders of the two communist parties on socio-economic policy. Gennady Zyuganov spoke about the reduction of the subsistence minimum, Maxim Suraikin - about the increased wage arrears in the regions of Russia. Another common thought came through in their words: protests are needed, but within the legal framework.

Youth policy

In the best traditions of the proletariat, youth should be involved in the protests, the 71-year-old leader of the parliamentary communists said. "The blockade of information about the Communist Party is one of the factors that pushes young people into the arms of the "orange" leaders," Zyuganov said, clearly alluding to the anti-corruption rallies that took place in March. How to attract young people to the side of the communists? None of the communist leaders can give a clear answer to this question. Zyuganov complains that schoolchildren do not know anything about the leaders of the revolution, but at the same time he is sure that if you tell them how it all happened, they will come first to the Komsomol, and then to the party. However, Gennady Zyuganov does not hide his distrust of today's youth, who "have no experience of life in the USSR": "Often they vaguely imagine this victorious time. Bourgeois and petty-bourgeois psychology are characterized by intrigue, careerism, and readiness to compromise with the authorities. This requires attention in admission to the party, in personnel work in general.

The competing parties will apparently have to compete for young cadres. The “Communists of Russia” plans are not so ambitious, but the goals are set for the very near future: Maxim Suraikin called on fellow party members to attract as many new personnel as possible to the World Festival of Youth and Students, so that they, in turn, would conduct propaganda among their peers who were not imbued with the ideals of communism . The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has large-scale plans for renewal, as evidenced even by personnel changes: in place of the deputy chairman of the Central Committee of the party, he replaced him, who had overseen youth policy for a long time.

Elections are childish business

Both the members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the "Communists of Russia" were urged by their leaders to focus on the upcoming elections. Zyuganov advised to look up to fellow party members who have achieved leadership positions in the regions - in particular, the mayor of Novosibirsk and the governor of the Irkutsk region. Maxim Suraikin advised his colleagues to participate in municipal elections whenever possible. Already now the KKKR has achieved great success, Suraikin is sure: "The party has strengthened itself in the position of the country's fifth political force" - after United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democrats and the Right Russians.

Both parties are still speaking in general terms about the 2018 presidential campaign. Once again answering the question about his readiness to go to the polls, Gennady Zyuganov said: "I am the leader of the largest party, if I'm not ready, then there's nothing to do here." However, he stressed that the candidate would be selected only after consultations with all interested parties. The only thing you can be sure of is that there will be no women on this list. “I treat women very well, but in the conditions of war, sanctions, a severe systemic crisis, I would still feel sorry for women, because this post requires work seven days a week, at least 15 hours a day,” Zyuganov said, explaining the refusal nominate a woman for president. Despite the best intentions, after that, the leader of the parliamentary party was criticized, including by women deputies.

Maxim Suraikin would gladly offer a woman for the first post in the country, he assured in an interview with Lenta.ru, but there are no candidates with sufficient political experience and a level of recognition in his party yet. And among men, besides Suraykin himself, no one is especially ready to go to the presidential elections. “So far there are no other candidates,” he admitted. “And I am ready to fulfill any order of the party.” A preliminary decision at the plenum on his candidacy was made, and the final verdict and the "Communists of Russia" and the Communist Party will make in December.

Original taken from itsitizen in XY is "comrade" Zyuganov and your party?

If you read the inscription "buffalo" on the cage of an elephant, do not believe your eyes.
Kozma Prutkov

Many times in polemics with my "left", "right" and "center" opponents, I never get tired of repeating - pay attention to the CONTENT of people's actions, see the ESSENCE of things. Do not reflect like monkeys on the form, relying only on external phenomena. The form is deceiving. A phenomenon, without understanding the causal relationships (essence) that cause this phenomenon, is simply an unreasonable fact.
We saw red flags with the symbols of the USSR and people with red scarves carrying them, heard communist rhetoric, and, like a trained bonobo chimpanzee, the reaction is - O! Communists!
Although there are only symbols from the communists. But in the essence of things - the purest and meanest bourgeoisie, mimicking the communists.

I came across excellent material, a qualitative analysis, exactly on this subject. I share.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

Why the Communist Party is not a communist party

Watching disputes on the Internet between supporters and opponents of the Communist Party, you are often surprised how far the supporters of the Communist Party are from understanding communism and the essence of the communist idea. Briefly, their position can probably be described as follows - "we are for everything good and against everything bad." What the Communist Party should be like and what it should do, they can't even imagine! They are quite satisfied that the name of their party contains the word "communist", in their understanding this is quite enough to reflect the true essence of the political organization. They do not realize the difference between form and content and do not want to realize. Sad but true!

And unfortunately, the roots of this phenomenon lie in the post-Stalin USSR, when faith in the Communist Party was simply limitless, which was actually used by those who wanted to return capitalism. She, this blind faith in the infallibility of the CPSU, did not allow the Soviet Communists to organize the masses of Soviet working people in the fight against the advancing counter-revolution, and yet the Soviet people did not aspire to capitalism at all.

I remember that the notorious A. Yakovlev, the "gray eminence of perestroika", after the destruction of the USSR and the destruction of Soviet socialism, admitted that the enemies of socialism did this using the power of the party itself. But even such a recognition of an open enemy did not in the least alert the Soviet party inhabitants (there was such a sort of Soviet people in the USSR who were to a large extent responsible for everything that happened to our country at the end of the 20th century), did not make them think about what is political party and what are its goals and objectives and to analyze in the most serious way all the activities of the CPSU and the essence of the newly-minted CPRF.

Talking about the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, one often has to point out that the main pillar of the existing capitalist system in Russia is not the United Russia party in power, as many people think, but the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Some comrades are very surprised by this. And in fact it is so in fact.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is really the heir of the late CPSU, which actively helped the destruction of socialism in our country, and now continues its policy, fettering the revolutionary energy of the party masses and a significant part of non-party workers who are extremely dissatisfied with capitalism. Accustomed not to think, not to take any responsibility and meekly obey all the instructions of the party authorities, a significant part of the former members of the CPSU, which is now in the ranks of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, has actually turned out to be completely neutralized from any kind of active political activity. Instead of real politics, they were offered the illusion of politics and, without going into the essence of the matter, they grabbed it with their hands and feet, since such an activity was completely safe for them and fully corresponded to their philistine understanding. After all, it was no longer necessary to be a real revolutionary, like the Bolsheviks were, to risk yourself and make sacrifices - Zyuganov “cancelled” the class struggle and revolutions, what else is needed? Slowly, they say, if we try and vote correctly in the elections, we will come to socialism by peaceful parliamentary means.

Explaining why the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not a communist party, we will not analyze each of the many statements of its leader G.A. Zyuganov, to quote footcloths from the program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - this has been done more than once, and there is no point in repeating it. We will look deep into the problem, covering it in general and as a whole, we will show the very essence of this party, comparing it with a truly communist one. And let the reader decide for himself whether he agrees with our arguments or not, whether they are false or true.

First, about the criteria with which we will approach the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, i.e. About, what is a political party, and what is a real communist party.

The article exceeds the volume that allows you to insert LiveJournal. Therefore, I have to give a LINK to the full text. I strongly recommend that you read the full text, where it is shown in detail, methodically, point by point, why exactly what is presented below in the conclusions (taken from there) takes place.

Conclusions:

The Communist Party is NOT a communist party.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is a purely bourgeois party. It reflects the interests of the middle and petty bourgeoisie in Russia.

The goal of the Communist Party is not socialism, but the preservation of capitalism.

The method of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is to fool the working masses with beautiful words about "people's power" and "new socialism."

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is the main pillar of the bourgeois regime existing in the country, because it fetters the revolutionary energy of the masses, directing their legitimate and just protest against the existing system on the path where it is IMPOSSIBLE to defeat the bourgeoisie and capitalism!

It's moving towards elections. It is quite obvious that, looking at objective reality with its wild capitalism and the tireless chatter of the ruling oligarchs-compradors and their faithful public poodles about "caring for the aspirations of the people", communist sentiments are growing in society. A lot of lies poured out over the years on the Bolsheviks, the Soviet system, Stalin, Lenin, Marx, the USSR, socialism, communism and continues to pour. They beat and will beat either Lenin according to Marx, then Lenin according to Stalin, then Stalin according to Lenin and Marx, inventing all sorts of fables. Such is the necessity of bourgeois propaganda to hang noodles on people's ears, to turn them away from communism. To do this, all sorts of "leavened patriots" Kolya Starikovs, Fursovs, etc., are launched into the information space, carrying blatant lies and posing as "publicist historians", traveling around the country with "lectures", "meetings with readers", releasing videos on the Internet in industrial scale, etc.
But while those who happened to be alive are still alive live even in late Soviet socialism, when, in essence, there were already its remnants that the newly born bourgeoisie did not have time to finish off the Stalinist backlog, but even with all this, there is something to compare with.
Today's steady deterioration in the standard of living of the overwhelming majority of the population and the shifting of the entire "social program" to the already meager budget of the working people FORCES people to look into the recent past and compare.
It is clear that under this process, right there, the "fiery Zyuganovites" began to sharply gain momentum in propaganda, trying to catch the "mainstream" and saddle it. 450 tyr salary and the same quarterly bonus from the bourgeois anti-people authorities in the warm seats of the State Duma and at the expense of the same workers, you see, "there is something to fight for."
Well, communist rhetoric is just a TOOL.

Be carefull. Of the "Orthodox communists" who "cannot find differences between the Moral Code of the builders of communism and the Sermon on the Mount", advocating an economy with "various forms of ownership", the same communists as Tsiskaridze from me ...
