— Qemal Cicollari, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Albania —
The Great October Socialist Revolution took place in Russia on November 7, 1917. It was a glorious historical achievement of the Russian proletariat and working masses, led by the Bolshevik Communist Party of Russia, guided by Marxist-Leninist principles, and led by the great Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin is the genius of the October Socialist Revolution. The Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia overthrew the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system and established a new socialist and communist system free from oppression and exploitation of man by man.
The Great Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that the socialist revolution is the highest stage of the class struggle of the working class (proletariat) and the working masses under the leadership of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party. It aims to overthrow the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system, establish the dictatorship of the proletariat (the state power of the working class), and build a new socialist and communist system without oppression or exploitation.
The Great Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that the socialist revolution is an objective law of the transition from capitalism to socialism. It is the only necessary and inevitable path to overthrow the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system and achieve and build a new socialist and communist order free from the exploitation and oppression of man by man.
The Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that the economic basis, the fundamental cause of the socialist revolution, is the conflict between new productive forces and old relations of production, which in capitalism is expressed in the antagonistic contradiction between the social character of production and the private capitalist character of appropriation.
The Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that, for the socialist revolution to succeed, objective conditions (a revolutionary situation) must exist.
- A revolutionary situation is characterized by a general political crisis of the ruling bourgeois class, its oppressive, exploitative and reactionary regime, and its bourgeois state, which is unable to maintain its rule through old methods, while the working class (proletariat) and the working masses no longer tolerate or accept the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system.
- A revolutionary situation is characterized by the sharpening of social antagonisms between the ruling bourgeois class on one hand, and the working class (proletariat) and the working masses on the other, by the growing dissatisfaction and revolt of the proletariat and working masses due to poverty, misery, injustice and social oppression, the reactionary and aggressive policies of the ruling bourgeoisie, devastations of imperialist wars, national oppression, the threat of fascism, etc.
- A revolutionary situation is characterized by the significant increase in political and revolutionary activity of the working class and working masses, who, for the aforementioned reasons, free themselves from the passivity and sluggishness of the “peaceful” and “quiet” period and engage in revolutionary actions to overthrow the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system.
The Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that, for the socialist revolution to succeed, subjective conditions must also exist.
- The subjective conditions of the proletarian revolution consist of the high level of revolutionary consciousness and organization of the working class (proletariat) and the working masses, their capacity for massive revolutionary actions powerful enough to overthrow the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system.
- The subjective conditions of the proletarian socialist revolution also include the sole and indivisible political leadership of the Marxist-Leninist Party at the head of the working class and the working masses, aiming to overthrow the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system and achieve and build a new socialist and communist system free from the oppression and exploitation of man by man.
The Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that the armed uprising is essential for the victory of the proletarian socialist revolution, with the goal of overthrowing the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist order and achieving and building a new socialist and communist order free from the exploitation and oppression of man by man.
The Great Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that the socialist revolution destroys the old oppressive bourgeois state apparatus (the bourgeois state of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie) and creates a new socialist state of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
The Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that the proletarian socialist revolution does not end with the seizure of power, as in previous bourgeois revolutions, but begins with the seizure of power, meaning the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the establishment of socialist relations in production based on collective social ownership of the means of production.
The ultimate goal of the proletarian socialist revolution is the construction of a classless communist society.
The Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia fully confirmed in practice the fundamental principle of Marxist-Leninist science that the proletarian socialist revolution through violence is a general law; it is the only path, proven in practice, to overthrow the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist and imperialist system and to achieve and build a new socialist and communist system free from the oppression and exploitation of man by man.
The Great October Socialist Revolution, guided by Marxist-Leninist science, practically rejected all opportunist and revisionist “theories” and views about transitioning from the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist and imperialist system to a new socialist and communist system spontaneously, through peaceful and parliamentary means.
The Communist Party of Albania, under the leadership of the great Enver and guided by Marxist-Leninist science and the teachings of the October Socialist Revolution, overthrew the old oppressive and exploitative feudo-bourgeois system in Albania through the People’s Revolution, established the dictatorship of the proletariat, and built the new socialist and communist system in Albania.
The October Socialist Revolution triumphed during the historical period when capitalism had entered its highest and final stage, imperialism. The great Lenin scientifically analysed imperialism and concluded that this historical period is the era of imperialism’s collapse and the explosion of the proletarian revolution.
Today, we live in the historical period of imperialism, the highest and final stage of capitalism, which the great Lenin characterized as the era of imperialism’s collapse and the explosion of the proletarian revolution. Today, the Marxist-Leninist parties worldwide, guided by the science of Marxism-Leninism and the teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Enver Hoxha, are working and fighting to educate, mobilize, and organize the working class (proletariat) and the working masses to prepare and carry out the proletarian socialist revolution, aiming to overthrow the old oppressive and exploitative capitalist system and to achieve and build a new socialist and communist system.
