Michael Murgrab: Where Did Women's Day Come From?
To realize the beginnings of this secular holiday, we must go back over 100 years. What happened on 8 March 1917 (in the Julian calendar it was 23 February)? On that day, the inhabitants of Peter's Garden (today's St. Petersburg) were stirred, from where hostile sentiments towards the Tsar spread to another places in Russia. The first strike broke out in Putilovskie Plant on 8 March. More people began joining strikes and protests under the main call: “bread and peace”.
Why was the password selected? A rumor has been spread that shortly there will be no bread, and Russia will be starving. People believed it and threw themselves at bread... and this, in a short time, just ran out. 2 things played a key function here. Firstly, adverse weather conditions in the form of excessive snowfalls which made communication hard and affected delays in food supply. Secondly, the complex situation was exploited by political agitators who, at the opportunity, created convenient conditions to redirect the incited crowd into a known goal and direction.
This rapidly turned into immense human masses carried on a wave of protests caused by a hypothetical food crisis. It is estimated that at the highest of the minute it was up to 200,000 people. Then the masses were “aware” that their anger was actually political.
These events began the February Revolution, which was the first step towards the fall of the Tsar. The Tsar abdicated a week later, and the power in Russia was taken over by the Provisional Government, with the Prime Minister Georgij Lviv at the head. It was all in a flash, due to the fact that the Tsar household was arrested on March 21. However, their futures require a separate discussion.
As we know after the February events, the time has come for what we call the October Revolution. Let's presume that the reader is aware of what took place then, and let's immediately go to the details that interest us. 1 of the leading feminists and Bolsheviks Aleksandra Kołontaj She persuaded Lenin to set the first day of the February Revolution, or 8 March, an authoritative state holiday. Thanks to Lenin, who wanted to commemorate the participation of women in the February Revolution, a vacation was created, which present is called the Women's Day.
The first celebration of specified a vacation took place a small earlier, as in 1909, in the US at the initiative of the Socialist organization of America (Socialists Democratic organization of America). Later, socialists from another countries caught the idea. In Poland, the PPS (Polish Socialist Party) initially led the PRS, but that they chose a different date than the current one, due to the fact that on March 24.
However, it did not last the trial of time, due to the fact that after 1945, erstwhile the occupying communist government in Poland was established, the Bolsheviks equalized the ranks and joined an global institution that liked each another on 8 March. The same date was besides in force in Communist China.
It besides makes you think that this celebrated year of 1917 was a moving judaic feast – Purim. During Purim, the Jews celebrate Esther’s judaic triumph over Haman and hang puppets resembling him and his sons. Today, however, they celebrate the triumph over their current enemies, not the Gentiles, but the Catholics. It's a triumph festival over us.
Almost surely this thought came out of the judaic Marxist circles. He is credited to a friend of Rosa Luxembourg (also a judaic Marxist), a female named Clara Josephine Zetkin. Zetkin has a immense “adventure” in his account for the Bolshevik international. To illustrate who she was, it is adequate to mention that she was 1 of the founders of the Communist organization of Germany and everywhere she was represented by an utmost left wing. She was besides a associate of the SPD, or Social Democratic organization of Germany (this organization inactive operates today) as a associate of the revolutionary-Marxist faction.
It is known that the revolutions in Russia were caused by the inspiration of the German government, with the hands of the German intelligence that assisted the Bolsheviks, but mostly for the money of American bankers and entrepreneurs, although German brands were not spared for this purpose. The Provisional Government shortly after the Tsar was removed from power, has banned the Bolshevik organization as a network of German agents, which is simply a clear confirmation of the above thesis.
International Women's Day was announced as a day off from work on May 8, 1965. In the decree of the USSR Bureau which established this, we can read a passage of the justification for this step: “To commemorate the merits Soviet womenunder the construction of Communism, in defence of their homeland during the large homeland war, their heroism and selflessness at the front and back, and in order to mark the large contribution of women to strengthening relationship between nations and Peace struggleIt’s okay. ”
The Bolshevik conflict for peace is known to us Poles: “Put down your weapons, don’t be stupid, you can trust the officer’s promise.” He who laid down the weapon during a treacherous assault on Poland, due to the fact that he believed the words of the Bolsheviks, was about to fall dead. The choice was simple: fight or lay down weapons believing in the promised peace. From the peace the russian Union brought, God save us!
In Poland, Women's Day was highly popular in the period of the Polish People's Republic and unfortunately, but many people inactive care about it, including those that we would not expect. On the occasion of this holiday, portraits and posters of women working on various sections of the economy, on tractors and with a keel in hand were displayed in many places, according to Władysław Gomulka's opinion that "there is no field in Poland present in which women would not play an crucial role". The festival was celebrated on an obligatory basis in both workplaces and schools. all major official, chief, organization secretary, and even general, had to hand flowers, or pantyhose and soap, to his ward.
Can we ask ourselves here whether our wives, daughters and mothers are communists or socialists to want them wishes that day? Or do they want to celebrate the judaic triumph over the goys? But should we want them something for the overthrow of the Tsar? Or if suffragettes laid the foundation stones for this feast, would it not be better to want our beloved ladies unfettered access to scraping, or to vote erstwhile all fewer years to improve, but only their own well-being?
Here's our response! We are Catholics and we have so many wonderful opportunities to present our beloved wives, daughters, mothers and grandmothers, flowers, specified as wedding anniversarys or names, or celebrations of another crucial patrons, anniversarys and events. Flowers can always be presented, besides without occasion, the more if they were to be as described above. We do not request to take advantage of specified an untasteful pretext as this pseudo holiday, which we proceed to prolong, insult both our loved ones and the memory of all victims of communism.
Let's respect each another and let this part of Bolshevik global die a natural death. Let him go into oblivion with Birut, Gomułka, Gierek, Jaruzelski and Lenin. Let this corpse fall in the collective grave with them!
We besides recommend: Germany has a fresh way of dropping off the invaders to Poland
