Celebration of human failings ! The West for their incapability to understand the inevitability of Marxism and their glorification of the easiest human foundamentals " eating, screwing and shitting " and building on debts and the USSR not able to undertand the formation of profit ( as China - India - Brazil and now Europa have done ) and the extension of the open dictatorship , so naturally necessary in a vast country such as Russia , instead of having an hypocritical one such a UK and US have. Nothing to celebrate other than the passing of another triste period in human affairs. Triste in Trieste.

I find this domino wall effect being symbolic at least in two aspects: a) The previous collapse of socialism, and b) The ongoing collapse of unrestrained, self-regulating liberal capitalism. The funniest thing is that Carl Marx, that candle-light of socialism, predicted at one time the inevitability of the latter event, but he failed to envisage the former. Now, if indeed the world is headed towards one global government, an interesting question might be what would be the social order of that global state? Would that be a global capitalism, grounded upon creativity of private entrepreneurs, or a world-wide socialism strongly regulated by the global socialistic government? I am wondering what would Carl Marx say on this.

Ibarruri from Lagos To dear Vladimir, With an apt name like Yours , I would have expected you to be more informed about the works of Karl Marx than you do. Contrary to your views,Karl Marx correctly drew conclussions from the events of the Paris Commune of 1871 , being the First Socialist revolution in history, that socialism was only the "Transition between capitalism and Communism" during which the class struggle between the emerging proleteriat in power and the defeated bourgeoisie cannot but result either in the revolutionary transition into a classless society - the communist society- or a restoration of Bourgoise dictatorship- the capitalist society. He was not given to predictions as prophets do. The events both in the Paris commune then and recently in the Soviet Union, amply vindicates Karl Marx ,whose Scientific doctrine remains a tool for the transformation of society in the interrest of the working class and the translation into life, of their moral and social ideals to this day. Of course the celebrants of the fall of the Berlin wall are pursuing the same anti- communist propaganda theme characteristic of the western attitude towards the Soviet Union , this time clearly aimed at the Heirs of the Great Soviet Union, Russia , and intent on embarrassing it . But the Russian People are not to be deceived by their antics as the forward match of Mankind and its Global society is inexorably ant-capitalist, anti-NATO, and anti-Fascist, all of which the wall symbolised .
