"The greatest triumph of the bourgeoisie of the twentieth century is to have made people believe everywhere that what there was in Russia was socialism, when in reality the [Leninist] counterrevolution had triumphed and capitalism was developing"
From the book "THE RUSSIAN COUNTER-REVOLUTION and the development of capitalism" Internationalist Communist Group (https://icg-gci.kilombo.top/spip.php?article29)

The Big Lie of the "socialist" countries is more of the same. These countries never had an atom of "socialism" as proclaimed by the revolutionary proletarians of all times, whose revolutionary project had as its starting point the destruction of private property, money, capital, the market, the State and the reorganization of a true human society: the HUMAN COMMUNITY.

Even the expression "socialist countries" is FALSE. No country can, and never can be, "socialist". This denomination is a propaganda formula of those who control the world, of the financial aristocracy and of its social democratic agents (including "communists" and "anarchists"). It is based on the lie of the bourgeois parties for the workers, of the parties of labor (apologists for wage torture and statism), which call for the socialization and centralization of capital as a synonym for socialism. Legal nationalization is nothing more than a more violent phase of the power of value/money and of greater slavery for labor.

It was the basis of the entire Russian and world counterrevolution with Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin... at the head, which they called "socialist", "workers’ state", "dictatorship of the proletariat"..., to the juridical centralization of CAPITAL (of the ownership of the means of production) and the obligatory nature of work. That is, to the real slavery imposed by capitalism. In reality, with the obligation to "sell" labor power to a single buyer (the government) and labor camps (CONCENTRATION), the countries concerned entered an even more tyrannical phase of capitalist slavery that will produce tens of millions of victims.

State terrorism, torture and the systematic disappearance of opponents (and/or their confinement in dungeons, jails, detention centers, barracks...), extends in many times and countries, to any social or population sector that wants to open its mouth and raise its head. The central characteristic of these countries is the totalitarian and systematic repression of any protest, as well as education at work and torture from childhood presented as the necessary sacrifice to deserve the kingdom of heaven: the oz and the hammer It is the modern and socialist version of the Christian cross, taking up the essentials of the mythology of the Jewish sacrifice in real life, to solidify the slave mode of production that capital imposed on all those countries falsely called "socialist".

What the so-called "socialist countries" did was to formalize the very tendency of money and capital to "socialize" the whole country, concentrate, centralize..., as they had done before and would continue to do in many regions and countries. Nationalization, the passage from individual to state property, not only does not eliminate at all the fact that human beings continue to be deprived of property, that private property continues to reign (since the producer continues to be deprived of the necessities of life), that not a gram of capitalism has been eliminated, but on the contrary it confirms it, as does CAPITALIST EXPLOITATION, that is, the exploitation of the whole people by the absolute reign of money. Money is the only COMMUNITY that exists in the "socialist countries" as it is all over the world.

The "socialists" and "communists" who carried out this process, what they achieved, was not at all an improvement in the development of the material productive forces as they had announced, nor a liberation from the exploitation of the proletariat, but on the contrary, an even more despotic development of capital: greater concentration and centralization of power in the State. greater tyranny in the social relations of production and exploitation. This was evidenced (and denounced by revolutionary groups throughout the world) with the terrorist obligation of work and the organization of all national production through the concentration camps founded by Lenin and Trotsky.

In reality, what the world bourgeoisie calls "communism or socialism" is the dream of capital itself to generalize slavery and the dictatorship of capital to the whole world. State centralization is the totalitarian foundation of this SLAVERY.

The concentration camp and despotism of labor, imposed on the slaves of capital for centuries in colonial or semi-colonial countries, becomes official state policy as a true guarantee of "socialism" (in reality, planned capitalism), in the same way that open dictatorship increasingly replaces, in the great powers, the "democratic" forms with which they cajoled public opinion Western public and Judeo-Christian, which ultimately predominate throughout the world.

The historical struggle against the dictatorship of value and slavery is inherent in the origin of all forms of exploitation. Like exploitation, like dictatorship and domination, like the class struggle, like capital itself and its slave accumulation, it is thousands of years old.

Indeed, if there has been more and more dictatorship of capital and human slavery, it is because also, from the origin, of class societies, the ruling classes, manipulated parts of the abolitionist movement to direct their demands towards forms and "modes of production" compatible with that dictatorship of money. That is to say, the historical struggles for the social revolution were diverted and channeled by Gatopardist fractions that changed something, so that everything would continue as before, or better yet, as in the "liberated nations", or the supposed "socialist countries", for the dominant fractions of capital and in particular for the plutocracy.

The most classic historical example was when the struggle against slavery (and also, the struggle against feudalism, although due to the smaller territorial scope of this social formation, almost exclusively European, occupies an international secondary place), in half the world in the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, to the cry of "abolition", was channeled towards forms of free wage labor, which in the end recreated the very same conditions of slavery as before, with even more brutal conditions of exploitation, but with the exception of some regional fraction of proletarians put at the service of the Anglo-Saxon liberal-imperialist bourgeoisie and which received a greater part of what was produced for its services (what was called the complicity of the proletariat with "its own" State). In the 20th century, the same history of the FALSE abolition of capitalist slavery would be repeated, with the realization of the social democratic program, of the bourgeois parties for the proletariat and, most especially, by the Russian counterrevolution led by the Bolsheviks.

In the end, "abolition" had not triumphed, it cannot triumph without destroying the society of generalized money, capitalism. On the contrary, what was affirmed with this freedom to sell their labor power and specifically, with the slogans of liberty, equality and fraternity, was the liberal counterrevolution and the subjection, for the first time in the world, to the Anglo-Saxon and racist monotheistic plutocracy.

Those who were freer now (with the famous and propagandized "abolition"), were not the slaves, wage-earners (or not), but the capitals to promote the slave trade, to redistribute them around the world according to their needs and their profitability (the managers of capital argued that in each specific case the free worker was more profitable than the slave). The old and rotten imperialist and slave-owning capital conquered its life insurance, with that libertarian slogan, at the same time that it reproduced slavery in an expanded form.

We cannot enter here, into the historical controversies about whether the conditions of exploitation were even worse... or they improved, as the parties of labor say, that is, the "bourgeois parties for the workers". We only affirm that the improvements thanks to "free labor" have always been pure propaganda and that exploitation reaches its highest levels of degradation and slavery (greater destruction of the human community, greater slavery in the community of Money) precisely where labor is freer: more hours of work, more relative misery, more generalization of work and torture for the population and especially for children and the elderly.

They were never able to prove any improvement for humans. Let’s take as an example the hours worked, where all the POWER lies saying that they work less and less. Supposedly "free" labor was accompanied by a general increase, in all countries, in surplus value (absolute and relative), an increase in the days worked, in the working day, an increase in the intensity of labor, an increase in the productivity of labor, and, therefore, in a generalized increase in exploitation.

Slaves in ancient times (China, Egypt, Persia, Rome, Greece...), were forced to work a few days and hours per month or week. It is in the tropical capitalist plantations, veritable slave farms (the merchandise produced were the "blacks" themselves), in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries that for the first time work is imposed every day (except as Judaism indicates one or two days). This "innovation" also entails imposing many hours of work on each day.

But they cannot compete with the number of hours that a "free" worker is forced to work in the same period in European industry (between 10 and 18 hours a day). The more "free" (the less subordinated to local livelihoods) the more they work, economists proclaim. There are endless attempts by the slaveholders to impose a full schedule on the slaves, but the resistance is so high that they fail. The interesting thing is to see, for example, that, throughout the American continent, the decrees for slaves to work MORE provided, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, that they were forced to work 8 hours: 4 in the morning, 4 hours of rest and 4 in the afternoon (legislation imposed by the Spanish crown for slaves in North America, of the Center and the South)

This shows to the extent that we have been lied to by the trade unions, the labour parties, the social democrats of all kinds ("communists", libertarians, Leninists, "anarchists" ...) and in general the official history: in the 21st and 20th centuries... many more hours of work are worked in the very modern European industry than in the slave plantations and in general in America, Asia, Africa and Oceania..., saying that free work was a progress for the exploited because the material conditions would be better.
