Internationalists!

Fighters Against Wage Slavery!
Critics of Capitalist Barbarity!
Communism is not merely a collection of theories for struggle; it is a profound commitment to proletarian and communist values. The resentment, anger, and solidarity of communists are deeply rooted in class struggle—a struggle born from the alienation of humanity under the brutality of the capitalist system. The slander, insults, lies, and, ultimately, the discrediting of communists, have a long and entrenched history.
The Třídní Válka group (Class War), unable to challenge the foundational principles or the century-long legacy of the Communist Left, has resorted to desperate measures. It has adopted superficial, vulgar language and descended into debased level of discourse, resorting to crude insults and slander against Lenin, the Bolsheviks, Rosa Luxemburg, and, most notably, the Communist Left and its various currents.
In defence of the proud history and legacy of the Communist Left, and in response to the distortions, falsifications, and misrepresentations of the communist movement—as well as the defamation of workers’ and communist struggles under the guise of communism by the Třídní Válka – the Internationalist Voice has simultaneously published the book The Truth According to Třídní Válka in both Persian and English, standing resolutely in defence of the Communist Left.
In defence of proletarian goals and ideals, every accusation, fabrication, distortion, and so on has been countered with solid evidence and sound reasoning. In defending the Communist Left, we removed the group’s communist façade and exposed its true nature—an amalgamation of vulgar anarchism (distinct from internationalist anarchism) and leftism—to the public. We demonstrated that the crude language and vile slanders of Třídní Válka are not merely momentary outburst or mistakes any group might make, but rather the consistent language, practice, and intellectual outlook that reflect their political and class affiliation.
All the noise, fuss, and commotion stirred up by such groups and circles, regardless of their origin on this planet, the language they speak, or even variations in their dialects, serve solely to create political confusion and disorientation within the political milieu.
In a world where capitalism, with all its tools, seeks to shape public opinion in its own favour, and where groups obscure the truth behind a veil of fabrications, distortions, and slanders, defending the Communist Left and its proud history remains of paramount importance.
Every copy of this book that finds its way to a worker, a revolutionary, a critic of the capitalist order, or a seeker of truth—wherever they may be in the world—represents a crucial step in clarifying the political milieu and raising class consciousness. With effort and dedication, let us spread this book as widely as possible. Share it, discuss it, and ensure that the truth stands stronger than ever against fabrications, distortions, slanders, and insults.
Long live the Communist Left!
