Dzerzhinsky on criticism

... One must not fear criticism, or gloss over shortcomings; on the contrary, it is necessary to help to make them known and to see nothing discreditable in doing so. Only he can be discredited who conceals his shortcomings, who is unwilling to fight against evils, that is, precisely the man who ought to be discredited. It is necessary to be able to see the truth and to imbibe it from the masses and from all who are taking part in production. There is nothing worse than self-praise and self-satisfaction. It is possible to go forward only when, step by step, evils are sought out and overcome. At the same time, an end must be put to our established practice of humouring the masses – the workers. It should be remembered that in our country the workers, like ourselves, are not yet cultured, that often their group interests outweigh the interests of the working class as a whole; often they do not sufficiently realise that only their own useful labour, the productivity of their labour, can create the communist state, maintain their Soviet power. Every economic manager should wage a struggle to win prestige, to win the confidence of the working masses, but the struggle for this confidence should on no account employ the instrument of demagogy, of humouring the masses, satisfying them to the detriment and at the expense of the state, of the interests of the alliance with the peasants, of parochial requirements. The path of demagogy is perhaps the most harmful path, lulling the masses, deflecting them from the main tasks of the working class in production, diminishing the sacrifices the working class has made and, in the final analysis, one which is harmful for our industry....

De la Revolución Socialista

By The European Communist Party

RECORDATORIO: LA REVOLUCION SOCIALISTA NO ES SOLO UNA FIESTA. LA GENTE HONESTA DEBE SABER LA VERDAD: LOS COMUNISTAS CUMPLIREMOS ESTRICTAMENTE (EN LA MEDIDA DE LAS POSIBILIDADES HUMANAS) LAS ALTAS ASPIRACIONES DE LAS CONSTITUCIONES Y LA DEMO CRACIA -CON LO QUE, EN REVANCHA, LA EVENTUAL MAYORIA PRO-COMUNISTA SUFRIRA EL VILIPENDIO Y LA AGRESION DE LOS PODEROSOS CAPITALISTAS Y SU ENORME APARATO REPRESOR Y PROPAGANDISTICO. NUESTROS OBJETIVOS NO SON UNA BROMA NI UNA COMEDIA. MUCHAS PERSONAS SUFRIRAN, MUCHO MAS QUE AHORA, LA MALDAD DE LOS PODEROSOS. SIN EMBARGO, LOS COMUNISTAS SABEMOS BIEN COMO HACER QUE LA OPOSICION CRIMINAL BURGUESA ENCUENTRE UNA RESPUESTA A LA MEDIDA, SIN MIRAMIENTOS. HAREMOS PAGAR CARO, MUY CARO, LAS MALDADES QUE VAN A COMETER LOS OPRESORES -SI LA SOCIEDAD QUIERE. ESTA DEBE SABER QUE, SI OPTAN POR LOS COMUNISTAS, EL TERROR CAPITALISTA SE RE-DIRIGIRA CONTRA LOS CAPITALISTAS -LO QUE SERA MUY DESAGRADABLE, Y NO SOLO PARA LOS CAPITALISTAS. ES POR ELLO, PARA QUE EXISTA CONCIENCIA DE LA RAZON DE CUALQUIER ASENTIMIENTO SINCERO ACERCA DE LA INTENSIFICACION DE LA REVOLUCION SOCIALISTA, QUE ES IMPORTANTE RECORDAR LAS PALABRAS DE DZERZINSKY (UNDER THE IMPERIALIST AND MILITARY INTERNATIONAL ANTI-BOLSHEVIK PRESSURE): Dzerzhinsky said: "We represent in ourselves organized terror – this must be said very clearly." and “[The Red Terror involves] the terrorization, arrests and extermination of enemies of the revolution on the basis of their class affiliation or of their pre-revolutionary roles.”
