7th November 2016 marks the 99th Anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution, and this profoundly significant event in human history, and the progressive calendar, was celebrated by CPGB-ML members and supporters this weekend, in Saklatvala Hall, Southall.

Our speakers and guests paid moving tribute to the world significance of the Bolshevik's struggle in Russia, and the Soviet Union, and the lasting impact it has had on our world - and their respective countries, revolutions and struggles.

In the words of Lenin: “The workers of the whole world greet us, applaud us for breaking the iron ring of imperialist ties … for raising the banner of peace, the banner of socialism for the whole world to see”

The October revolution marked the beginning of a new Era - the era of proletarian revolution, of the working class taking power - and despite all reverses suffered by our movement, it is clear that Socialism, as built in the USSR, remains the way forward to humanity's sustainable and humane future, and the only way for curing the ills of capitalism which are wracking our planet.

The meeting was chaired by Comrade Harpal Brar, and messages of solidarity were given by Comrade Teresita Vicente, the Cuban Ambassador to the UK, Comrade Sayakane Sisouvong, Laos' Ambassador to the UK, Comrade Kim Song Gi, Minister of the Korean Embassy, Comrade Marcus Garcia of the Venezuelan Embassy, and Comrade Dr Indunil Wijenaiaka, a prominent member of Sri-Lanka's JVP.

Comrade Gerry MacLochlainn, prominent Irish Republican soldier and politician, addressed the meeting in a personal capacity, focussing on the relationship between the October Revolution, the international workers' liberation movement and the Easter Uprising of 1916, which was to herald the coming of an independent Ireland.

Comrade Ranjeet gave the main speech for the CPGB-ML, and Comrade Jackson, Red Youth and CPGB-ML member delivered a powerful revolutionary Chinese song - in Mandarin - to rapturous applause!

Comrades closed the meeting by singing the Internationale, their spirits lifted by the meeting and our message of hope for the future, before socialising over an excellent curry cooked by our revolutionary chefs.

Look out for the speeches which will be published over the coming days.
