Dear comrades, today, we're celebrating the 200th anniversary of the nascency of the most of import thinker inward the human history, Karl Marx. I am grateful to comrade Motl for the chance to clarify in addition to expand sentences from my of import speech that I gave inward Trier lastly night.
I am also grateful to our Chinese comrades who helped to resuscitate Karl Marx in addition to who take maintain also provided him amongst the bathrobe. In this way, Karl Marx could take maintain taken the kickoff shower inward 200 years (the previous shower took identify inward the amniotic fluid just 200 years agone today).
We take maintain to sympathise that our times finally realize Marx's dreams
Karl Marx who was a politically active philosopher ane time said or wrote, in addition to I call back that he wrote, that philosophers may translate the Blue Planet inward numerous ways but what's genuinely of import for them is to alter the world. The gems that Karl Marx left for us were sum of interpretations in addition to suggestions in addition to they managed to inspire a huge unwrap of people in addition to alter the world.
The fact that around of Marx's would-be disciples afterwards committed several mistakes but cannot live blamed on Karl Marx. The European Commission volition combat against all those heretics who would dare to propose that Karl Marx himself has made a mistake. Here is ane proof that Karl Marx isn't responsible for whatever mistakes. He wrote:
There is exclusively ane mode to shorten in addition to ease the convulsions of the old lodge in addition to the bloody nascency pangs of the novel – revolutionary terror.As you lot tin post away see, this quote guarantees that Marx isn't responsible for whatever mistakes. For example, when our Soviet comrades made the error in addition to demolished several statues of Stalin's, it was a error that Marx doesn't take maintain whatever responsibleness for because Marx exclusively wanted the practiced things that Comrade Stalin did – revolutionary terror.
I am certain that inward your living rooms, when you lot believe that you're non beingness eavesdropped, around of you lot tell that you lot don't consider yourself a Marxist. But fifty-fifty if you're a Christian democrat, just similar I am, you lot take maintain to combat against injustice just similar Karl Marx did. You don't take maintain to live a Marxist: you lot just take maintain to hold off similar one, swim similar one, quack similar one, call back similar one, in addition to deed similar one. Every truthful democrat tin post away create it in addition to all democrats request it. In this way, Marx's ideals are combined amongst the European ideals of unity inward diversity. We're Christian democrats, social democrats, liberty democrats etc. but all of us call back in addition to deed equally Marxists. Karl Marx would live proud of us.
Capitalism is plague if it isn't enhanced yesteryear the ideas started yesteryear Marx that don't focus on the scheme but whose master copy beneficiary is the humanity – namely the working degree in addition to specially the refugees. And unless they mindlessly serve the European Union in addition to its excogitation for degree struggle in addition to Islamization of Europe, the capitalists aren't human: they are the objects that spread the germs.
The European Union isn't a false vision. Instead, it is an unstable structure. Why is it in addition to hence unstable? I take maintain persuasion close this enquiry for years in addition to I take maintain finally constitute the answer. The European Union is in addition to hence unstable because Marx's ideas close the social welfare haven't been incorporated into the really foundations of the European Union. The socialist dimension of Marx's heritage has in addition to hence far exclusively been the illegitimate nipper of the European integration. We take maintain to alter that in addition to plough the illegitimate nipper to a legitimate ane yesteryear altering the deoxyribonucleic acid of the European projection in addition to all the European people. We take maintain to restart the revolutionary terror in addition to brand certain that the mistakes – such a those from the Gorbachev era – are no longer repeated.
Did the Hungarian reactionaries take maintain the courage to protestation the utter I just gave? Does it hold off similar the Central in addition to Eastern Europe, the cradle of our futurity communist utopia, is sum of reactionaries? Can't Brussels to anything close them? Yes, nosotros can. We tin post away supersede all these Untermenschen amongst Arabs who volition live to a greater extent than compatible amongst the socialist ideals in addition to who volition permit the Marx's dreams to live incorporated into the centre of Europe in addition to the centre of every citizen who is allowed to hold upwardly here.
LM: By the way, also inward Trier, Czech ex-president Václav Klaus gave a competing speech, at an AfD event. Klaus is unremarkably proud that he no longer fights wars inward the yesteryear but at to the lowest degree yesterday, Marx became a battle of today in addition to Klaus stood against Juncker in addition to Marx – although Klaus in addition to Juncker used to take maintain practiced plenty chemistry... Klaus said that Marx was of import but the lineament of around instruction is seen when the instruction is trivialized – in addition to that happened to Marx's thoughts, too. What nosotros take maintain experienced (and Klaus "brags" how much fourth dimension he spent inward communism, surrounded yesteryear Marx everywhere) was Marxism. But Marx's star is no longer shining today.
LM: I added in addition to improved around things but at to the lowest degree the meat of every scandalous assertion to a higher identify is included inward Juncker's speech. In fact, ane could combat that he genuinely wanted to tell just what's written to a higher identify but he doesn't take maintain balls for that. It's shocking that a mortal similar that may live the most powerful representative of the European Union equally a whole.
It's crazy to tell that Marx isn't responsible for whatever mistakes in addition to atrocities. He has explicitly planned them in addition to ordered them. Others were doing the muddy piece of employment inward the existent Blue Planet – but they were just realizing the vision of the mastermind, Marx, inward the same mode inward which tons of Germans were realizing Hitler's Mein Kampf.
The terror, hundreds of millions of murders, in addition to the erasure of 90% of the economy, amid other things, aren't whatever false side effects of Karl Marx's teaching. They are the essence of his teaching. That's what he has wanted in addition to he was really explicit close it. He hasn't e'er had whatever persuasion that would take maintain the potential to convey anything practiced to the Blue Planet – or that has brought anything practiced to the Blue Planet – in addition to everyone who claims otherwise is either a liar or a lunatic.
Juncker is a registered Christian democrat but it's clear that deep inside, he is a hardcore Marxist. Sadly, the European Union is built out of people similar him – in addition to worse people. Federica Mogherini, the would-be European government minister of unusual affairs, has been a hardcore Marxist feminist activist who has also openly collaborated amongst the Palestinian terrorists. Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a boss of left-wing parties inward the European parliament, was Danny the Red, the most visible Marxist during the 1968 happenings inward France. José-Manuel Barroso, a predecessor of Juncker's, has been the boss of an hugger-mugger Maoist organization. Another predecessor, Altiero Spinelli, was arguably both an Italian communist in addition to the manful mortal raise of the European Union project equally nosotros know it today. The listing would become on in addition to on in addition to on.
In 1989, nosotros abolished communism inward our country. fifteen years later, nosotros joined the European Union just when it was starting to plough into a really similar construction defending really similar values equally the Soviet Union, a quondam ally whom nosotros escaped inward the belatedly 1980s. It's sad. In our business office of Europe, Juncker's presence in addition to the spoken language are in addition to hence scandalous that I genuinely call back that nosotros should endeavor to negotiate around velvet divorce within the European Union, ideally preserving the complimentary trade, because to live half-controlled yesteryear the likes of Juncker in addition to also Merkel etc. seems unacceptable for a robust bulk inward our business office of Europe.
1945: terminate of war
On May 6th, my hometown of Pilsen was liberated yesteryear General Patton in addition to his 2d army. Thanks, Yankees! There are liberation festivities inward Pilsen. But close 90% of Czechoslovakia was liberated yesteryear the Soviet Army. Prague was taken on May 9th, a twenty-four hours after the full general give upwardly – Bohemia was the lastly Nazi stronghold.
But already on May 5th, which way that the anniversary is today, the Prague Uprising exploded. Czechs inward Prague finally started to revolt against the High German overlords – almost all the previous resistance was organized from abroad, e.g. yesteryear the government-in-exile inward London.
The Battle of the Prague Radio was the fundamental lawsuit inward the Prague Uprising – in addition to a pretty exciting one. The Czech Protectorate Radio started to broadcast inward Czech exclusively – in addition to forbidden content was all of a abrupt included. That caused around bureaucratic backlash in addition to a battle involving SS members who were sent to the radio in addition to confused yesteryear the removed plates for orientation. The Czech defenders of the radio hanged the Czechoslovak in addition to U.S.A. flag from the radio's edifice – non plenty fourth dimension for the British in addition to Soviet one. Civilians including the 4-year-old futurity president Václav Klaus were edifice lots of barricades on the streets in addition to similar materials was taking place.
Czechoslovak civilians (plus 2 British citizens in addition to a driver of a electrical streetcar who changed the trajectory to convey around extra Czech forces) defeated the Nazi forces (including around Czech collaborationist Protectorate policemen). SS members made a error yesteryear shooting from the basements. Well, the Czechs take maintain used around High German know-how from 1942 after Heydrich was assassinated – they poured lots of H2O to those basement to brand the rats float. When the intelligent Germans understood what's going on, they offered give upwardly – but they tried to larn around advantages yesteryear would-be ethical bullšiting close the soldiers' honor. Things went fine, the leaders of the Czech resistance started to self-confidently locomote novel titles for themselves. High German forces kept on trying to destroy the radio – amongst around bomb from a Messerschmidt, they to a greater extent than oftentimes than non succeeded around fourth dimension ago. The Czech warriors needed to defend Prague for iv days.
