From my Moscow mausoleum: Letter to progressive Americans

By V. I. Ulyanov | Progreso Weekly Wednesday, 27 July 2011

But first, I want to acknowledge that I was incorrect about my prognostication as to when a social revolution was to begin in North America. Certainly a revolution of peasants started south of the U.S. border in 1910, but not within the borders of the home of American capitalists. I was off by 94 years.

But here you are now. In a political landscape that every anticapitalist and antiimperialist could not have dreamed. Revolution is not too far off, it seems, and yet your capitalist and political leaders do not speak clearly about the crisis and the rural hinterland, the small towns, and even a portion of the unorganized working class thinks that what you need is a balanced budget amendment. Imagine, the very social base that produced a

Mussolini and a Hitler, it is now attempting to fix your cyclical capitalist economy by doing away with the only thing that keeps you afloat – well, besides the financial transfers from China and Japan. Granted, in my wildest dreams I never envisioned the financial oligarchy that presently dominates the entire world although I was one of the first to show its origins.

I am envious of those who are radical and alive in North America today! I have some words of advice:

First, American military forces no longer will be able to project its awesome military might abroad. New wars will be impossible to execute if the monies had not been allocated beforehand.

IF YOU THINK THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA ARE A DISGRACE AND A HUGE OBSTACLE
to real change in America why haven’t you sent at least a few dollars to The Greanville Post (or a similar anti-corporate citizen’s media?). Think about it.  Without educating and organizing our ranks our cause is DOA. That’s why our new citizens’ media need your support. Send your badly needed check to “TGP, P.O. Box 1028, Brewster, NY 10509-1028.” Make checks out to “P. Greanville/ TGP”.  (A contribution of any amount can also be made via Paypal and MC or VISA—see our right column for that.)
THANK YOU.
