Battle of Chancellorsville

CSA: Would a Confederate Victory Have Led to a Socialist Revolution? (28.2.2025)

However, the Southern ideas of honour and their so-called aristocratic thinking were overblown and these ideas actually sometimes played to the South’s benefit, as the men in the South followed natural leaders and often times appointed them on their own (via popular vote). All too often, in the North, Officers were often political appointees – desk-bound Officers who hadn’t seen a battlefield in years – or ever. Or men who simply bought their way into a General’s uniform. One of the more stereotypical views of the South was the aforementioned backward, backwoodsman. Think about that for a moment. Yes – a significant portion of the Confederate Army was poor, uneducated, and illiterate. Some left-leaning historians have said  – with some accuracy – that the poor Whites of the South had more in common with the slaves – than they did with the leading families who owned most of the land and the fabulous estates like the fictional “Tara” in Gone With the Wind.

Mass Grief for Stalin!

USSR: Stalin’s [1953] Funeral – Greatest of the 20th Century – and the Resulting Stampede! (27.2.2025)

Since the recent détente of the US and modern Russia – the Russian-language Yandex search-engine has once again become easily available via the Western internet. Since I last regularly accessed the “deep” Russian internet – I have noticed that whereas there was about a 50%-50% distribution of pro and anti Stalin articles – a new narrative has been ordered which portrays Stalin as a mass killer who also achieved one or two great achievements for the Russian people (the new orientation is roughly 25& pro and 75% anti). This is a Western (capitalist), reactionary, Trotskyite, and entirely fascist attitude. Furthermore, it is pseudo-history. Joseph Stalin was working-class (most old Bolsheviks were middle-class) and was Georgian – not Russian (Stalin rejected all forms of nationalism – including Russian). The Soviet Union was a collective of around 15 or 16 countries (depending on era) that acted in Socialist collaboration. The history of the Soviet Union is not the history of Russia – even if Russia was the socio-economic driving force. The point of the 1917 Revolution was a new era in human evolution – a step forward and away from feudalism and capitalism.

Canadian National Vimy Memorial

UK: Canada Must be a “Country” – Its Troops Attacked Witley & Epsom in 1919! (27.2.2025)

What makes his death significant is that his murderer was never really brought to justice and that some in authority supported this for political reasons.

The “riotous mob” was in fact more than 400 soldiers on the rampage and the words “found death” on his gravestone were used rather than murdered.

Why was this? It was 10 years later that Sergeant Green’s murderer, when arrested in Canada on another offence, admitted his guilt.

By then Scotland Yard was not really interested and a prosecution was never considered. What caused this apparently callous action and why was justice not pursued as vigourously as we might have expected?

Throughout the Great War, many troops from the British Empire had fought with distinction. Canada produced about 600,000 men from 1914-18, taking 210,000 casualties, with over 56,000 dead.

They were awarded 63 Vicoria Crosses. The awesome Vimy Ridge memorial in northern France bears testimony to their bravery and loyalty during that dreadful period.

However, when war ended in November 1918, many troops, easpecially those from overseas, expected to be de-mobbed and repatriated as quickly as possible. Unfortuanely this did not happen.

In fact de-mobilisation plans had been in the Government’s thoughts since 1917.

War Secretary Lord Derby thought that in order to help the country’s economy, the most skilled workers should be released first into the key industries.

However these were the very workers who had been the last to be conscripted and the unfairness of this caused small scale mutinies within the British Army in Calais, Folkstone and London.

This inequitable system was changed by the new Minister of War – a certain Winston Churchill – in January 1919.

He decided men should be de-mobbed on the basis of age, length of service and number of wounds received. This in effect was a “first in- first out” policy.

This worked well for British troops, but Dominion troops were left hanging around for months. In March 1919 disgruntled Canadian troops rioted in Rhyl and this was repressed only after a number of men had been killed.

NHS For Sale!

Consequence of Voting Labour: Wes Streeting to Axe Thousands of Jobs at NHS England After Ousting of Chief Executive! (26.2.2025)

Only the rich will receive treatment – whilst the enriched health professionals who allow this – should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity. Make no mistake about it, whilst NHS staff are imprisoned due to the effect of the cuts – the Labour government is deliberately and systematically destroying what is left of the NHS – at a time when Australia has refused to follow the UK path of subordination to US dictates! Whatever the case, the Western bourgeoisie at the moment, is in total disarray – as the fascist Trump stampedes around the political landscape – sharing metaphorical cigarettes with Kim Jong Un – as they both lean against a wall nervously awaiting the outcome of an important UN vote! China opposed the UN condemning of Russia for its self-defence fight against Neo-Nazi Ukraine – whilst Starmer’s New Labour voted “for”! The UN has never once condemned Israel for its “aggression” in Gaza – regardless of the body-count!

Trunp Joins Kim in Opposing Neo-Nazi Ukraine!

UN: US Joins North Korea in Opposing Neo-Nazi Ukraine – UK Supports Zelensky! (26.2.2025)

North Korea has been a perpetual victim of the US – and was not treated particularly well by an indifferent Russia up until 2022 – the time of Russia’s entry into Donbass. Since that time, the DPRK has sided with modern (capitalist) Russia on every count – as if this Russia is Joseph Stalin’s USSR – the country that wrestled the territory of North Korea away from the occupying Imperial Japanese in 1945. After Khrushchev’s usurpation of power in 1956 – and his demonisation of Stalin – relations between the USSR and the DPRK decidedly cooled. After 1991, this relationship virtually ceased to exist. Oddly, during Trump’s first tenure, there was a stunted thaw between the US and the DPRK, which was thwarted by the American Deep State. Today, not only is the DPRK rumoured to be supplying troops to fight for Russia in Ukraine – but the US is siding with the DPRK at the UN! Perhaps we are seeing the unfolding of a very dangerous game that is nothing like what it seems on the surface.

NKVD - Special and Simple!

My Deconstruction of the Article “SOVIET SPECIAL FORCES: Success & Failures”! (25.2.2025)

Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin, all eulogised the average worker – man, woman, or child. When the false consciousness of bourgeois oppression is overthrown – anything can be achieved. All workers can “specialise” in their chosen subject given the right and uplifting conditioning in the environment. Anyone can be a “Special Forces” soldier – and to think otherwise is to embrace the ideology of fascism. This author (below) is limited in his bourgeois (Trotskyite) thinking – but this is to be expected. We may ignore his short-comings and benefit from the areas within which he is correct. It is incredible to acknowledge that the USSR assisted Saddam Hussain’s war against Iran and his invasion of Kuwait in 1991 – and that the US chose not to mention these facts when lying to us about both these wars. Finally, the author’s surname – “Steinberg” – is Jewish in origin, and this may explain his Zionist attitude toward what he perceives to be a planned Soviet attack on the illegal nuclear weapons the terrorist (and genocidal) State of Israel currently holds. If the USSR had moved against Israel as a punishment for its many terrorist activities – the UN would hve had to declare it “White Supremacist” in 1975 and the ICC would not have declared this rogue State “genocidal” today – whilst issuing arrest warrants for its leaders. Learn from the invert and dishonest technique this author uses to sully the USSR – whilst claiming to convey its history. Just why a Russian language website would host such an article is beyond me. As always, think for yourself.
