Note: this article
is written tongue-in-cheek, intended to mock out both Commie and anti-Commie crusaders.
It is not intended as an endorsement of a Bolshevik or Communist political agenda
in the USA or anywhere else.
Many
things about the Soviet Union and its citizens have been said and repeated in
the Western world. People like Winston Churchill, George Orwell, Ayn Rand, and
other people alien to the Bolshevik way of thinking and way of life have written
volumes of slander and given poignant, colorful speeches describing how horrible
life in the Soviet Union was. People in the West give perk up attentive ears to
hear the endless confused gibberings of criminals like Medvedev and Solzhenitsyn,
and completely and immediately believe every mealy-mouthed, spiteful word about
Communism to come from the insincere mouths of emigres clever enough to cash in
on the anticommunist racket by writing about how "completely terrible"
life had been before they came to abroad.
However,
the voice and Will of the real people of the Soviet Union remains quiet, hidden,
and unheard. Yet it is the voice the men and women who LIVED the Socialist ethic
and whose deeds materialized the ideas of men like Nechaev, Marx, and Lenin, the
citizens and comrades whose deeds brought centuries of hopes and daydreams into
the light of day in the form of beautiful cities, factories, schools, jets, subways,
and space stations. It is the clarion call of those people who turned the tables
on their oppressors, courageously took their fate into their own hands, and together
built a better world for themselves, the everyday working people who make society
tick.
What did these people have to say, and what
did they think? What vision guided their hand, and what feelings drove their Will?
And what did they DO?
They did not see themselves
as slaves to Communism, or feel oppressed by a Marxist ideology (as their Western
denigrators depict them). They felt FREE of the old shackles of Tsarism and classism.
They looked to the capitalist West, which was languishing in famine and Depression
in the 1930's, and saw REAL nations of slaves. They remembered what it felt like
to be ordered around by a factory overseer or landowner who pitilessly ruled their
impoverished lives like petty dictators, and drained of their everyday enjoyment
and the fruits of their hard work, yet self-righteously proclaimed themselves
as the working peoples' "protectors" and even "natural superiors"!
They knew what it felt like to work all day and be punished for as much as using
the restroom in Tsarist days. They remembered what hunger felt like, what tireless
slave labor work felt like, and most of all, what the FEAR of being abused or
fired for standing up for themselves felt like.
They
saw that modern technological society is a product of WORK, the work of millions
of people doing millions of different tasks, yet all somehow working together,
and all DEPENDENT on the work and cooperation of countless other people that they
might never meet or see. They saw that THEY, the WORKERS, were the real creators
and maintainers of society. That they, the DOERS - not the thinkers, not the owners,
not the talkers - had the sole right to OWN and CONTROL their own labor, its tools,
and its fruits, and to work in the way that they, the workers, collectively agreed
was RIGHT, without interference from parasitic owners or domineering managers
who served the parasites like cringing toadies.
They
saw that people who tried to attach themselves or interfere with this process
of work - this process of collectively creating and maintaining modern civilized
LIFE - were obstructors, parasites, and bullies, malicious people who wanted something
for nothing, or who wanted to abuse or degrade the achievements of others. When
they looked at corpulent millionaires eating caviar while men and women starved
on the street, they saw filthy, vampiric people who sucked the life and work out
of honest, productive people. When they looked at an imperious boss or manager
who treated workers on the factory floor like underlings or royal subjects or
refused to cooperate with what the workers wanted, they saw a hateful obstructor
getting in the way of WORK. When they saw a man or woman discouraging collective
action or the will of the majority in favor of the opulently rich or powerful,
they saw a cringing coward, a half-man or half-woman writhing like a worm for
the benefit of an unjust "master." They felt that these kinds of ruinous
people were CRIMINALS, and their influence must be eradicated by any means neccessary.
They worked tirelessly to FIND and eliminate these kinds of people, and to prevent
them from emerging anew.
As they saw it, to be
a self-aware member of a gigantic cooperative society millions-strong, to be a
worker in control of ones' own destiny, and to be the unwavering enemy of all
who opposed the good of The People: was to be fully human. They
felt that for the first time in history, they were able to direct their own collective
Will towards the creation of a new kind of society, a Communist society, where
all would be free to create and enjoy the fruits of their labor. They were strong
people, regular people, and they deeply felt that their cause was Just, and their
actions Right.
What they did? They created the
most modern society in the Twentieth Century. Its death at the hands of Nazism,
internal corruption and sabotage, and a demoralizing Cold War with the West is
an unimaginable tragedy.
