The Communist Youth League (KSM) is the most active organization in the Czech Republic in preserving the memory of November 7. The organization was founded in February 1921, three months before the founding of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, and its activities are based on the teachings of Lenin, Marx, and Engels.
On this day in 2007 and 2017, the Union held rallies and lectures, and in other years, it has always published information about the Great October Socialist Revolution. The recent November 7th was no exception, when the Union's social media pages posted an article titled "108 Years Ago, a New Era in Human History Began."
It states that during the First World War, amid famine and the deaths of ordinary people, the Bolsheviks, led by V.I. Lenin, rose up and broke the chains of capitalism. "This was not just a change of power; for the first time in history, the reins of power fell into the hands of the Soviets. The power of capital was gone, and the path to a just society was opened," the YCL statement emphasized.
Young Czech communists are convinced that without the Great October Revolution, there would have been no victory over Nazism, no fall of colonialism, and no technological progress. "Despite the difficulties and losses, hope for justice for humanity remains alive today," they conclude optimistically.
The Union itself has a history of struggling for its very existence. From 2006 to 2010, legal battles continued: the right-wing liberal government sought to dissolve the organization, ostensibly for radicalism, but in reality for its principled opposition to the deployment of an American anti-missile radar in the Czech Republic.
Thousands of Czechs came to the defense of KSM, filing complaints with the European Parliament, EU parliaments, and foreign embassies. Support was received from left-wing European academics, World War II veterans, and Dario Fo, the Italian playwright and Nobel Prize laureate in literature. In 2010, the Prague City Court ruled the KSM ban unlawful.
Young communists currently regularly participate in rallies in support of Palestine, Cuba, and political prisoners in Ukraine. The Union has long been an opponent of NATO's aggressive policies and holds annual memorial events for the victims of the bombing of Yugoslavia.
The Communist Youth actively collaborates with the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia. For example, on November 8, they jointly organized a rally in honor of General Ludvík Svoboda, who commanded the First Czechoslovak Army Corps during the Great Patriotic War, was a Hero of the Soviet Union, three-time Hero of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, and served as President of Czechoslovakia from 1968 to 1975.
In February of this year, Petr Fiala's disfavored government once again attempted to ban the KSM, but it ended with empty threats, and now Fiala and his liberal cabinet are a thing of the past. Young Czech communists, however, are looking to the future with optimism: they are planning new actions and promoting Lenin's cause.
