The Social Regime in Russia

1. That Russian society is a divided one, subject to the domination of a particular social group, and with widespread exploitation and oppression, is directly evidenced by the most elementary and best known facts. To present the Russian regime as “socialist” or as a “workers' state,” as do both the “left” and the “right” in an almost universal complicity, or even to discuss its nature in reference to socialism to determine at what points and to what degree it deviates from it, represents one of the most horrendous enterprises of mystification known in history. The persistent success of this enterprise obviously poses a crucial question concerning the function and importance of ideology in the contemporary world
