Karol Ondriaš: Interview “Communist Program for the 21st Century”

09.07.2026; Interview + additional text: (After 25 years, I tried my hand at English again)

Question 1.) Why do you state in the introduction to the book that everything written and stated below is fictitious?

Thank you for the invitation.

I wrote this sentence at the beginning of all my books and articles, because in anti-communist Slovakia, there is a law that the promotion of communist or fascist ideologies is punishable by up to three or five years in prison.

I hope the reader will understand it.

For example, even wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a hammer and sickle is a criminal offense in Slovakia.

Question 2.) Why did you decide to write “Communist Program for the 21st Century”?

Two things: First, I am a researcher in the natural sciences, so I study objects according to verifiable data.

Second, I lived in socialist Slovakia for 36 years, then in capitalist USA for a few years, and then I returned back to capitalist Slovakia. This allowed me to make a scientific comparison between capitalism and socialism. I have experienced it firsthand. I found that these two societies are different. I have discovered that capitalism is leading our civilization to ruin. Weapons of mass destruction are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Based on this, I decided to write the Communist program for the 21st century to save civilization from capitalist destruction.

Question 3.) What is the main point of the book?

Recently, capitalism is based on two rules: free elections and unlimited private property. These rules ensure that predators of Homo sapiens often get into positions of power.

The results are capitalist crimes, such as wars, exploitation, increased inequality, democratic serfdom, homelessness, corruption, drug addiction, and so on… This could lead to the destruction of our civilization in the future. Colonialism was a product of genetic predators in power. World War I was a product of genetic predators in power. Similarly, war in Iraq, Iran, Ukraine… Since capitalism is a totalitarian system, nothing can be done about it.

 The main point of the book is:

The Communist Program for the 21st Century will ensure that experts and humanists, rather than genetic predators, rise to positions of power (as it is similar to Communist China). This program will guarantee that the advanced civilization of Homo sapiens does not destroy itself. The program presented in the book shows how to do this. 

Question 4.) What are your conclusions from comparing socialism and capitalism?

The verifiable data presented in the book clearly show that socialism in Slovakia from 1948 to 1989 was an incredible communist miracle of new human civilization, respect for human rights, and the overall development of Slovakia compared to capitalism.

The socialist system has eliminated all the crimes of capitalism. Wars, Terrorism, Corruption, Unemployment, Drug addiction, Homelessness, Arson, Selling people, Child prostitution, Contract killings, Foreclosures, Loss of social security, Loss of physical security, Exploitation, Devaluation of education and culture, Economic, cultural, and mental colonization... etc...

These crimes against humanity returned to Slovakia (and to other former socialist countries) after the transformation from socialism to capitalism after 1989. The tragedy is that capitalism cannot eliminate them, despite its daily talk of freedom, democracy and respect for human rights.

 Question 5.) What do you think about the crimes of communism?

When I compared the crimes of capitalism—such as colonialism, World War I and World War II, and the current wars for democracy and against terrorism—with the crimes of communism, verifiable facts show that communism was a miracle of a new, humane civilization that respected human rights.

The crimes of communism are negligible compared to the crimes of capitalism.

But what is very important to say that capitalist propaganda produced many documentaries about crime of communism. Paradoxically, capitalist society has produced many books and TV documentaries about the crimes of communism, which were deliberate lies.

I consider this to be evidence of the degeneration of the capitalist system, the degeneration of capitalist civilization, and absolute professional capitalist totalitarianism.

Today, capitalism is a 100% professional totalitarian system, as evidenced, for example, by: The Washington Post (May 15, 2023) published an article on the estimate of the victims of the US war on terrorism after September 11. 2001. According to USA Brown University researchers, it was at 4.5 million to 4.6 million. The fact that no one is judging the people who directly or indirectly killed 4.5 million people, including maybe 1 million children in mass murder, that democratic capitalist states have not imposed sanctions on the US and no one even dared to mention it in their parliaments, clearly shows that the current capitalist democratic system of maximizing private profit is 100% professionally totalitarian and when it suits it is 100% professionally criminal.

Since capitalism is a professional totalitarian system, it is difficult to discuss and find solution of any real problems of capitalist civilization.

Question 6.) Do you think socialism has a future?

I believe that socialism is the only way to save Homo sapiens’ civilization from destroying itself.

I think that today’s runaway capitalism doesn’t know how to move forward as a civilization or how to compete with the Chinese communist miracle.

I assume that if the EU does not transition to socialism with European characteristics, in a few decades, the Chinese communists will buy up the EU for a song and establish socialism with European characteristics here, which will then gradually spread further.

There is also the question of whether Homo sapiens has the brains for socialism?

Perhaps not, and therefore in a few decades or centuries it will end its career on the planet.

 Long live of socialism!
