If you thought that 2024 was disturbed, it will be seen as nothing compared to what we are about to experience in 2025. The inauguration of Donald Trump as the President of the United States of America is, on the one hand, an expression of the crisis we face; on the other, the opening of a new disturbed era in world politics, world economics and world relations, the likes of which we have never experienced in our lifetimes.

One-hundred-and-seven years ago, on 7 November 1917, the Russian working class conquered power. This was the greatest event in human history. For the first time ever, workers and peasants overthrew the dictatorship of the rich, took control of society themselves, through their ‘soviets’, i.e. workers’ councils – and held it. They could not have done so, however, without the leadership of the Bolshevik Party; the party of Lenin and Trotsky.

Polling day in the USA is set for 5 November. On that same evening in Britain, families will light bonfires for Guy Fawkes Night, marking the Catholic Fawkes’ failed attempt in 1605 to blow up Westminster Palace with the King and Parliament inside. For many of his supporters, Donald Trump is seen as following in Fawkes’ footsteps – looking to blow apart the hated political elite in Washington, popularly christened as “the swamp” by the Republican presidential candidate.

Pero podemos decir con certeza que esa victoria sólo fue posible gracias a la presencia de un partido formado teóricamente y preparado en la práctica, el partido más revolucionario de la historia, el Partido Bolchevique. Pero incluso ese partido habría fracasado en semejante tarea sin la cristalina y afiladísima dirección de Lenin.

The year 1917 stands out as a turning point in human history. For the first time, the downtrodden, toiling masses fought back – and won! But we can say with certainty that that victory was only possible because of the presence of a theoretically trained and practically steeled party, the most revolutionary party in history, the Bolshevik Party. But even that party would have failed to achieve such a task without the crystal-clear and razor-sharp leadership of Lenin.
