Rise Up, Wretched of the Earth!

Observe how following the cataclysmic bloodletting and destruction of the late Imperialist and Capitalist War, the so-called "Great War", that once again the reactionaries fight among themselves! Just as Lenin himself said, the Imperialists are driven by the logic of their capitalist structure to war and conflict. Inherently, imperialism drives nations and peoples to conflict with each other as the rate of profit begins to fall in society, and as the capitalist world destroys itself in its desperate search for its salvation. Within Europe, the working classes rise up against this, as the red flags sortie forth in England, to the the terror of the bourgeois order. The capitalist system provides for its own contradictions which will bring about its demise. 

For those who suffer under the yoke of colonialism, regard how the capitalist powers fight among themselves for your land. The Portuguese, in their search for new markets and soils, strike against the Spanish. Mindless and brutal aggression from the capitalist powers, these same people who claim the dignity of "civilization", who dare to call us the barbarians of the East. 

See how the French and British, the "Entente", the sworn "allies", who shed the blood of millions together, now fall apart. Where there was once unity among the Capitalists, there is now once more division. The French against the British, the Germans in their constant civil war as they regress towards forms of government which no longer even make the pretense of bourgeois "democracy", the Americans disgusted with Europe and returned to their shores. In the Balkans once more the capitalists fight, as they always do, to the humiliation of themselves and others. The Capitalists and the Imperialists once faced the world in strength: now their petty rivalries drive them to disunity and blows.

Capitalists and imperialists: see how the "vermin" of the earth rise up against your plans and empires! You hoped to make yourself the rulers of the earth, but now from Tangiers, to Alexandria, to Hanoi, the colonized peoples of the world rebel against your plans. The brave men of the Rif with their long rifles destroy each day another Spanish invasion, the English scurry away from the righteous fury of the Egyptians - a country invaded by the English nearly forty years ago upon the impulsion of the London capitalists - and the workers and peasants of Vietnam throw the French into the sea. The light of the Buddha and the great Lenin shine on East Asia, where our victory will forever dispel the shameful darkness of Western colonialism and imperialism and replace it with the higher civilization of socialism.

Besieged from without, weakened from within, and torn by infighting. The Imperialist world dies from a thousand cuts and wounds, and from its ashes arrives the inevitably next stage of history, that of socialism. Lenin thought that he would never see the revolution in Russia: now we will witness within our time the victory of socialism in the world. Under the weight of its contradictions, the destruction of the capitalist world approaches with dazzling speed. All it will take is one firm blow, and the entire rotten structure will come crashing down.

Workers and peasants of all nations, unite on the road of the Great Lenin and Buddha! Our victory is near! You have nothing to lose but your chains, and the world and the path to enlightenment to gain!
