Darwin Had Read Das Kapital!

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – When Darwin Read Marx! (24.2.2024)

A large sign said ‘NO Photography’ – but I politely enquired as to whether I could snap a ‘small’ picture – and was given a cryptic permission. Many (deceptive) Trotskyites state that Darwin never opened the book – but I saw with my own eyes that the pages had been both ‘cut’ and ‘opened’. Interestingly, the correspondence between Darwin and Marx (discussing their respective theories) are not yet publicly available. I am told this might be because of the positive attitude Darwin expressed about what Marx had to say.

US Mistakes Mechanical Cranes for Real Cranes!

US: The Way of the White Crane! (24.2.2024)

When it comes to matters of so-called national security, Washington’s fixation on implicating China knows no bounds. From baseless accusations of espionage to scrutinizing individuals based on nationality, the pattern of suspicion and scapegoating has been casting a long shadow over bilateral cooperation.

Such an absurd accusation involving the Chinese-made cranes is by no means an isolated case. Just three weeks ago, a U.S. senator Tom Cotton grilled the CEO of TikTok Shou Zi Chew about his nationality, suggesting he has links with China, when he is in fact a Singaporean.

Even more absurd, a Florida senator Rick Scott claimed two months ago that garlic imported from China poses a threat to U.S. national security. He jumped to the conclusion based on the accusation that Chinese garlic is grown using human faeces and sewage as fertilizers.
