The 100th anniversary of Lenin's death on January 21 is our obligation: "Lenin's teachings are alive".
January 21, 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the ingenious leader and theoretician of the October Revolution and the building of the world's first socialist country.
100 years of Lenin - for us, the ICOR organizations, it is an appeal and a self-commitment to optimistic vigour:
* We ICOR organizations are determined tostudy and disseminate the teachings of Lenin. As a leader of the struggle for socialism and against imperialism, he has left us a great theoretical legacy. With his dialectical method, we are in a position to apply his teachings creatively to the present day.
* We ICOR organizations have set ourselves the goal of realizing theapplication of Lenin's teachings to today's imperialist world, whereby the building of strong Marxist-Leninist parties as revolutionary leadership is an urgent task.
* We ICOR organizations stand up in our countries for the conviction thatsocialism is the social solution to put an end to the permanent state of crises, wars and destruction of the natural environment by the imperialist world system.
* We ICOR organizations invite all revolutionary organizations to celebrate 2024 as ajoint Lenin Year with events, trainings, mass discussions on the streets, in the factories, with actions and the highlight of the seminar "Lenin's teachings are alive" on September 13, 14 and 15, 2024 in Germany. We are committed to attract many participants to this seminar and to make it a great joint success logistically, politically and financially.
Lenin's message is an incentive for us:
“We have made the start. When, at what date and time, and the proletarians of which nation will complete this process is not important. The important thing is that the ice has been broken; the road is open, the way has been shown.” (“Fourth Anniversary of the October Revolution,” Lenin, Collected Works, Vol. 33, pp. 56–57)
