Protest the Czech Republic's Banning of the Communist Youth League!


The Czech Communist Youth Organisation has been banned since 2006 because of its belief as a Communist group in replacing private ownership of the means of production with a collective social ownership of the means of production. Banned not for "plotting" anything subversive, or in any way harming the Czech Community - but for believing in and advancing the eventual goal of socialized means of Production ! The real reason for the banning is the mass character of the KSM and The Communist Party, and its high level of organization on municipal, regional and national levels.

The "liberal" capitalist Czech state authorities hate The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM), Because despite all the Big Business smears, all the banning, calumny and detraction against it, the Czech people still vote for and belong to the Communist Party in large numbers. In yesterday's vote the Communists came in third behind the Social Democrats, out of a full slate of parties.

On 16 October 2006 The Czech Republic's Interior Ministry banned the Communist Youth League (KSM) and dissolved the organization.

The Czech state's official justification for this ban is that KSM under its program is working to replace the private ownership of production with collective ownership.
Converted to Canadian conditions such logic would mean that all Canadians who work for a large public sector, would be banned from organizing themselves.

The attack of the Ministry of Interior against the legal existence of the KSM was initiated in November 2005 under a pretext that the goals of KSM interfere with an area reserved for activities of political parties; an area that civic organizations are excluded from in terms of interventions and activities. This argument was utterly unfounded because according to the Czech legal system the political parties’ exclusive area of activities is their participation in electoral processes. KSM did not participate in any electoral processes.

Moreover, the Ministry of Interior tried to coerce KSM to renounce its Marxist character, its political program, communist identity, goals, and theoretical foundations in Marx, Engels and Lenin; that is Marxism as a whole. After dropping all its originally employed arguments, the Ministry of Interior used another argument: a programmatic goal of KSM to replace private ownership of means of production with a collective ownership of means of production. It appears the Youth organisation of the Czech communist youth may not legally have an option for an alternative social organization that contradicts capitalist restoration!

This action can not be justified and is totally unacceptable in a society claiming to be democratic and pluralistic. Please urge the your national governments, parliament and the members of the legislature to protest against this reactionary anti-democratic ban and call on the Czech Government to immediately repeal the ban on The Communist Youth League KSM and incorporates the organization's political rights.
