The Central Committee of AUCPB congratulates you on the International Communist Women's Day on March 8 - the day of international solidarity of women working in the fight against bourgeois domination and criminal imperialism, for economic, social and political equality, for a better future for future generations, for socialism, for preserving peace on Earth!
At present, the entire propaganda machine of the bourgeois states of the former Soviet republics is working to present March 8 as a women's holiday of spring and flowers and to emasculate class content from it.
We, the Bolsheviks, recall that this day began to be celebrated around the world at the suggestion of a prominent figure of the German and international labor movement Clara Zetkin at the II International Conference in 1910 in Copenhagen (Denmark) with a view to revolutionary mobilization of broad female masses against bourgeois domination.
Representatives of the working class of Russia took an active part in the overthrow of the tsarist autocracy and in the Great October Socialist Revolution in 1917, as a result of which Soviet power was established, opening the way for true equality of women living on 1/6 of our planet.
The Soviet government not only proclaimed, but also ensured real equality of men and women in all spheres of life. Soviet women workers, along with men, mastered new professions and achieved perfection in them. It was not beautiful idlers who were popular in our Soviet society, but heroines of labor, whose skill and impudence the whole country admired.
Soviet women, like all Soviet citizens, in reality had a guaranteed right to work and decent rest, to free medical care and education, were socially protected and confident in the future. The Soviet mother woman was absolutely confident in the bright future of her children.
After the counter-revolutionary coup of 1991, Soviet women, like all Soviet people, lost much. Prices for all goods are constantly rising, education and medical care has become paid, unemployment is rising. New housing becomes unavailable to workers. Today, a young family can no longer afford to buy or build a new apartment. People do not have confidence in the future, which was ever present in Soviet times. It is especially difficult to survive in crisis conditions for women from poor classes who need to take care of their families and children when there are no means of subsistence.
As for the so-called “Freedoms”, they exist in bourgeois society exclusively for women from the ruling class. Women who have money have much more rights than men who have no money. Equality for working women is a bare declaration.
Only with the restoration of socialism, female workers — representatives of the working class, the working peasantry and the working intelligentsia — can regain their happiness and freedom.
We, the Bolsheviks, call upon our women workers to celebrate International Communist Women's Day on March 8 as a day, one of the main slogans of which is the struggle against capitalist exploitation and capitalist slavery, for the restoration of the USSR - our great Socialist multinational Motherland.
Down with the unjust bourgeois system!
Long live revived socialism!
