". . . will there be a retraction . . .?

Good heavens. A major work from a major communist was nearly dedicated to Darwin's Origin of Speicies and yet a connection between the two ideologies supposedly does not exist? A bigger stretch than the fossil record, to be sure.

I've retracted things on this thread before, but in this case it will take more convincing evidence than you've provided, even with your links.

Is that like being nearly pregnant? The official communist biological uber-theory was Lysenkoism, not Darwinism. Stalin purged adamant Darwinists. The communists were hell-bent on seeing the world as determined by will alone which made Lysenkoism, not Darwinism, an apparently necessary assumption. Lysenkoism rejects variation and selection as the tuning agent of evolution, opting instead for direct intervention in their own DNA by the present generation of beings. This has been represented on these threads as just a minor variation on Darwinian evolution to try to save your argument that communism and darwinian evolutionary theory are hand in glove, despite the fact that Stalin wiped darwinian evolution out of Russia using the firing squad argument.
