Ranchi: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] celebrated the 109th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution on Saturday at its state office in Ranchi. A meeting was organised to commemorate the historic event, with speakers highlighting its significance and its relevance in the present global political scenario.
The speakers said that the Bolshevik Revolution, led by Comrade Vladimir Lenin on November 7, 1917, established workers' power for the first time in history. The revolution inspired national liberation movements, as well as workers' and peasants' struggles across the world, including India.
They observed that imperialism was facing a serious crisis, while neo-fascist forces in different parts of the world were increasingly targeting democratic rights and civil liberties. Emphasising the relevance of Marxism-Leninism, the speakers called for strengthening workers' unity and intensifying struggles for an exploitation-free society. They also stressed the need to learn from the experiences and shortcomings that led to the collapse of socialism in the Soviet Union.
The meeting was addressed by CPI(M) State Secretary Prakash Vipplav, Sameer Das, Sukhnath Lohra and Amal Azad. Prateek Mishra recited a poem by Bertolt Brecht. The programme was presided over by Prafulla Linda.
Virendra Kumar, Beena Linda, Amit Rai, Syed Faraz, S.K. Rai, Harendra Yadav, Arshad Iqbal, Sudhanshu Shekhar, Ram Yagya Mishra and Sumant Kumar Sahu, among others, were present.
Similar programmes were organised in several districts of Jharkhand, including Ranchi, on the call of the CPI(M).
