Statement of Mission

The humanist dream, the will for humanistic communism is and will forever be alive and kicking.

Communism is not what Stalin and his comrades as well as their disciples wanted to build. The past epoch ? the ancien regime ? was nothing more but dictatorial anti-communist Stalinism. It is a clever trap of all liberal propagandists and all bourgeois lackeys to claim that Stalin was building communism. They have every reason to do that. This is what they are paid for: to divert the attention of the exploited classes away from Marxism, away from what is eternally alive in it ? the idea of true communism.

We cannot allow and will not allow the so called anti-communists as well as the bourgeois lackeys to revile communism. Their preposterous name-calling is unacceptable for the object of their critique does not have anything in common with true communism. How is it possible the most pathetic and in the highest degree unjust Stalinist dictatorship over the proletariat to be called communism; the economic narrow-mindedness and immaturity of Stalin's doctrine and the state based on it were fated to fail.

However, the funniest thing which exposes the poor lackeys and their hapless anti-communist mates to ridicule is that in fact there has never been communism in modern times. There has been Stalinism. There has not been communism. Not yet! Up to this day. But ... tomorrow? The wheel of history has not yet reached the point when it will once again rotate to the communism of the primitive people but it will be communism at an incomparably higher level because it will contain the total wealth of the whole previous development.

Marxism and other XIX century thinkers' communism, generally speaking, were neither the beginning nor the end of communism. The World History must be grasped in its truth as permanent development of the rational will for humanism, which is and will invariably be in the process of developing its principles.

The time has come for humanism to resume its work and time and time again to play its predestined role in the political history of mankind. The great merit of modern humanism is the fact that it has come to the point to create a new revolutionary ideology and become a world-historic force capable of inspiring the activists of the humanist anti-capitalist revolution willing to take part in the political fight for power and win.

We have the will to prepare the revolution. We want to inspire the intellectuals again, to attract them, to present a victorious ideology with both a world-historic mission and vision to them, persuading them to side with us, to give them new goals and a sense of purpose: building a new humanist world.

The success of our initiative for humanisation of the political and economic life of mankind depends on how and to what extent we will succeed in creating the new type of Man passionately willing to come into possession of the common good and constitute practically all necessary political and economic institutions of a new humanist world order.

Europe and the world have a need of new humanist movements and parties capable of creating an economically and politically viable ? Pan-European as well as worldwide ? anti-capitalist project for a humanist social alternative. The Neo-Communist Manifesto aims at providing this so much needed alternative; it aims at setting the beginning of that theoretical revolution which will cause the practical revolution for rational and successful abolition of the capitalist system, for its radical transformation into a humanist social order through nationwide and worldwide movements for changes. The deed of humanism cannot but be successful. We are ready to put a great amount of work into educating all humanistic political forces in order to win the approval of the predominant part of the society for the humanist project.

It is bound to become the manifesto of a strong humanist movement similar to the one of the first Christians and as powerful as the communist parties in the XIX and XX centuries. Bearing in mind that the beginning of the new millennium needs a new vigorous winning humanist ideology capable of expanding its influence amongst supporters of social-democratic and communist parties, its major objective is to raise humanity to a perfectly new stage of its development and to lay the foundations for the more humanized societies of the future.

Absolutely naturally Marx could only begin developing the theory of communism. He was the first greatest theoretician of communist thinking in modern times; his many works are only the beginning of the necessary modern development of the Will for true communism, which has in itself the absolute end to develop itself and will continue to develop itself.

Today we need a totally new teaching able to sublate Marxism, to remove, to negate, to refute everything that is dead in Marx and, at the same time, to preserve everything that is eternally alive and forever young in his teaching. Only when are we able to offer the masses a truly workable theory, they will join us.

We stand for a new humanist order of the world. The natural resources we have at our disposal are not limitless; it is not worth wasting them. We come with the manifesto of a new era. New conventions, new international relations, new humanistic international ethics, new solutions.

Today ? there is no doubt about it! ? we have to create a down to Earth, pragmatic and perfectly feasible theory of humanist economy. It is a new task for a new world and we invite and encourage all humanistically thinking economists to start developing this new science.^*
