On Lenin's 155th birthday: the importance of his work and the relevance of his thought
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the leader of the October Revolution of 1917 and of the first Socialist State, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was born on April 22, 1870. To mark the 155th anniversary of his birth and to recall his role and that of his Party in the emancipatory struggle of the workers and peoples of the whole world is a duty of remembrance, but it is above all a cause for inspiration and confidence in the present-day struggle for the revolutionary overcoming of Capitalism, against Imperialism and against war, for democracy, social progress, peace and Socialism.
