What the Great October Socialist Revolution did was put the power in hands of the people, and started its construction of a world without any class struggle, or a state to divide classes. It shattered the illusion of oppression being the only reality, and paved the way towards proletarian internationalism. Today is indeed one of the days that shook the world.

Lenin walks around the world

Frontiers cannot bar him

Neither barracks nor barricades impede.

Nor does barbed wire scar him.

Lenin walks around the world

Black, brown, and white receive him.

Language is no barrier.

The strangest tongues believe him.

Lenin walks around the world.

The sun sets like a scar.

Between the darkness and the dawn,

There rises a red star.

~Langston Hughes
