Marx Engels Lenin Institute

"A specter is haunting the left: the specter of apology. It manifests as a cringing embarrassment before the victories of 20th-century socialism, a frantic desire to distance ourselves from the label of 'authoritarian,' and a desperate attempt to prove our respectability to a liberal establishment that will always, ultimately, side with the fascist over the people. This era of apology must end. The crises of our time—the rise of fascism, the unfolding ecocide, the brutalizing inequality—demand not a moderated, sanitized politics, but a clear, unflinching, and unapologetically communist response."

Unapologetically Communist A specter is haunting the left—the specter of apology.
