Demonstration in Moscow on November 7, 1991 – And yes, “We Need New Octobers”

Reading time: 4 minutes

On November 7, 1991, despite the fact that Yeltsin banned festive demonstrations in honour of the anniversary of the October Revolution, thousands of Soviet citizens took to the streets with red flags. The most massive protests took place in Moscow and Leningrad, which had already been renamed St. Petersburg by the fake democrats. In the capital, tens of thousands of people even managed to get into the closed off Red Square.

Today, the words of these ordinary Muscovites and Leningraders about the innumerable troubles that were in store for the working people under capitalism seem like a terrible prophecy. But they could not even imagine that in a few months their country would be erased from the world map, and the lives of millions of people would be destroyed.

«We Need New Octobers»

New AI song from our comrades at the RED channel, performed live by Friedrich Engels on bass, Iosif Stalin on drums, Karl Marx lead vocals, Rosa Luxenbourg lead guitar, and Vladimir Lenin rhythm guitar and vocals.

The Great October Socialist Revolution stands as humanity’s unique breakthrough on the path to liberation from exploitation. In an age when imperialist war drenched the world in blood, workers and poor peasants rose up and took power into their own hands to build a life free from the exploitation of one human being by another. October showed that working people could determine their own destiny and change the world. The path it opened reached far beyond the land of its birth, strengthening the struggle for equality and freedom across the globe.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union did not erase the historical legitimacy or continuing relevance of this breakthrough. In the face of capitalism, which breeds war, exploitation and poverty, humanity’s need for liberation endures. Only new Octobers, new socialist revolutions that establish workers’ power—can carry humanity forward.

«We Need New Octobers» is a song of this conviction and determination. It is a call to carry October’s legacy into today’s organised struggle, to build a world of bread, peace and brotherhood with our own hands. For the future is in the hands of those who come together to create it.Organise! Be ready! Together, let us march toward new Octobers!

This is our wealth, and we must preserve it!
