Is hard to realize that the struggle against the enemy within the USSR was real. Many good communists, within the masses and more in particular within the structures and leaders, were silenced and even killed. As Kirov, he was the best friend and future successor of Stalin at the head of the Leadership: he was murdered . And many other cases. We have to remember the Doctors's plot: many soviets and international communists leader were killed by them.We have to remember that they were able to dismantle Stalin security circle even killing some of its members.And finally, they killed Stalin.
The killing of Stalin was the peak of the anti-communist struggle within the USSR. It was the main target and they were able to achieve it. After his killing, many true communist in the medium and low levels (they were no real communist in the high level, only soviet aristocrats) were repressed. After his dead, they gained full power.
And then a process of implosion, of dismantling all the good things started. A degeneration in all aspects started and finish with Gorbachev and the collapse (collapse not destruction after an open outside attack) of the USSR. Of course, the Brits, the Zionists, the US, the Germans (yes, the germans) had their cells and agents within the USSR, play a part and they were active in all this.
But without the corruption of many of the soviet leaders, without the ability of placing agents in key positions, they would not be able to achieve the destruction of the USSR, or at least not without an open aggression. And an aggression against the main actor in the defeat of Nazi germany would not be something easy to sell to the people, communist or not.
All this highlight the importance of political and ideological clarity of the actors involved, to have good, proper and strong ideological basis, a sound philosophical base to begin with and building good and strong structures [and organizations] in top of this. And then, apart and of course, having and choosing the correct and appropriate people for the appropriate positions ...
THE MORAL:
Always look in front, around and inside yourself. Strength in body and even more more important mind and soul.
A true revolutionary that want to liberate his or her Nation and People without a basic honesty, is condemned to failure or worse, corruption and then much worse, treason. Resist temptations and diversions is needed, more importantly the ideological and political ones- but not the only ones. The easy ways and the easy road is the road to nowhere in the best of the cases.
Having a sound ideological as philosophical base is a must.
All of this in case the path of victory is the one to be chosen. And if want people want is to construct step by step, to have good results, achievements and advancement.
This are some thought yes, not trying to say that here "you will the truth and all the truth" and that out there is nothing. But History is there to look at it and try to learn.
We can look to an Irish example. A recent one. Republican History and back in 1986.
Here of course we don't take into account Adams and McGuiness. They were brit agents doing their job. Misleading, cheating, manipulating and lying.And for sure not far away they were more. Anyway, among the Republicans that did not follow the Continuity stance of course they were many honest people and true Republicans. We can all be mislead at one point, two or even three in our lives. But then if we are regularly mislead then we have to say hey, stop and think, because there is a clear problem there.
But to continue, among the honest and true Republicans sure many followed the lead of Adams and McGuinness because they saw an easier way to achieve some desire results. Of course, of this people we will say that they saw closer the achievement of some of the Republican Movement's goals.
This perceived easier way, combine ( maybe not in all cases of course) with a not strong enough ideological -and then political- stance make them overlook, for example and to begin with, the SF constitution as Ruairí Ó Brádaigh said in his speech.
Because you can be a strong man or woman, and do things from that ability, but maybe you are less strong in your stances, more weaker mentality. And then you can do things and advance but not in the right direction. Or not been able to see and look to some things from the right angle.
That's why politically speaking, and then in all activities that derive from, having a clear ideological, political and philosophical pillars will make you not only resist but advance. And helps to have deeper views in important things and issues. But this is not new.
To keep with this example, of '86. The Republicans that didn't follow the Continuity position...and kept the proper fight, they were right as well in the way that they were keeping the torch, that they were actively fighting. Many even lose their lives. Many started to realize that the Adams and McGuinness group was not good. Many of them were among the martyrs and killed. Still, some honest republicans keep the path started in '86 to realize things latter. And all this is not to say that among the Republicans that took the Continuity stance were not faults, ill political and ideological perceptions and positions.
Again, and always with the natural error margin, a deep view and clarity in ideological-philosophical issues would have help to avoid this, or at least make the impact less bad.
