El Salvador: Film Builds Wave of Anti-Communism

Wednesday, 23 July 2008 13:20

The much-publicized movie “Indiana Jones” premiered in San Salvador. We communist youth decided to see it.

We found the film painted a miserable caricature of the Soviets, lying that they did not know what they were doing and were insecure and idolized Americans. The main thing this movie does is make fun of the glorious Red Army.

In 1957 (the year when this film supposedly takes place), the Soviets did not send terrorists to the U.S., which they try to show in the movie. In fact, they launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, which inspired admiration worldwide.

We feel the goal of this film is to muddy the image of communists, and to continue creating a wave of anti-communism. Youth have another conception of what the USSR really was. We, the youth and adults of Progressive Labor Party denounce such decadent films that constitute the daily attacks capitalism launches anytime it can. Youth must work with their friends in the universities and schools to counter these attacks against our proletarian ideology, and let it be known that communism is the only salvation for the international working class.

What We Fight For

Progressive Labor Party (PLP) fights to smash capitalism -- wage slavery. While the bosses and their mouthpieces claim "communism is dead:" capitalism is the real failure for billions all over the world. Capitalism returned to the Soviet Union and China because socialism failed to wipe out many aspects of the profit system, like wages and division of labor.

Capitalism inevitably leads to wars. PLP organizes workers, students and soldiers to turn these wars into a revolution for communism -- the dictatorship of the proletariat. This fight requires a mass Red Army led by the communist PLP.

Communism means working collectively to build a society where sharing is based on need. We will abolish work for wages, money and profits. Everyone will share in society's benefits and burdens.

Communism means abolishing racism and the concept of race.

Communism means abolishing the special oppression of women workers.

Communism means abolishing nations and nationalism. One International working class, one world, one Party.

Communism means the Party leads every aspect of society. For this to work, millions of workers -- eventually everyone -- must become communist organizers. Join Us!
