Soviet Cartoon - Stalin Spanks Trotsky After Every Wrong Move!

USSR: “Poses as a Leftist – Helps the Right as Long as Possible” – How Lenin Described Trotsky! (11.11.2025)

Further, Trotsky tried to unite ideologically disparate groups of socialists under his leadership and in 1912 created the “August Bloc”. But precisely because of the lack of real unity among the groups gathered under this name, the bloc soon fell apart. Lenin called it an “arch-stupid idea” from the very beginning and did not participate in it.

It should be noted that Lenin is faithful to his assessment of Trotsky in the future. On the eve of the revolution, in February 1917, in a letter to Inessa Armand, Lenin wrote about Trotsky’s actions in the United States and concluded: “That’s how Trotsky is!! He is always equal to himself – he wags, cheats, poses like the left, helps the right as long as he can…”

Diverse Collection of Stone Tools - Hainan!

China: 13,000 Year-Old Prehistoric Tomb Unearted in Hainan! (11.11.2025)

Archaeologists proved that the remains belong to a juvenile, with decorative textiles made from shells found near its head and waist – the earliest such findings ever reported in China – which offer rare insights into prehistoric cultural practices in Hainan and potential cultural exchanges with Southeast Asia.

Excavations at the Luobidong site are ongoing, trying to fully reveal the cultural significance of the site and provide a scientific foundation for both prehistoric research in Hainan and the development of the Luobidong National Archaeological Site Park.

UK: How the BBC Lies About Tibet Whilst Reporting on Lt Gen Sir Philip Neame! (11.11.2025)

Neame survived and was decorated with the Victoria Cross, the highest accolade for valour in war.

He continued his career in the army while also pursuing an interest in rifle shooting, and competed in the 1924 Olympics with great success.

Neame went on to train the Tibetan army, before getting called up for World War Two.

He fought, and was captured, in North Africa, then was a prisoner of war in Italy before escaping back to Britain.

He died in 1978 and is buried in the village of Selling in Kent.

His son, with the same name, fought in the Falklands War in 1982.

In his home town of Faversham a plaque on the pavement near the guildhall commemorates Neame’s place in history.

UK: Armistice Day – Popping-Out for Abit! (11.11.2025)

11/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Of course, workers and peasants have periodically fought for their rights over hundreds or thousands of years, with the movements varying in size and strength. From rioting in the town square to full on and widespread uprisings. The historians of the feudal or bourgeois state, however, will have none of this, and will try to force you to remember only those wars and conflicts which reflect the will of the reactionary State. This is what Poppy Day in the UK is all about – and explains why we try to co-opt it for our own working class ends. We are shifting the onus away from middle class hypocrisy and toward working class practicality. That is all there is to it. No only this, but we are fighting Trotskyism and all working class reaction that wants to see all Socialism ended in the UK – rather than repaired, extended, and strengthened. Fighting the enemies lurking within the working class is as important as fighting the enemies outside the working class. Perhaps Chairman Mao had a thing or two to say about this.

CSA: When Confederate General James Thadeus Holtzclaw Complimented a “Black “ Union Regiment! (10.11.2025)

10/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

General Holzclaw Stated, “Five separate colour-bearers, one after the other, seized the fallen flag and attempted to plant it over our works. Each one was shot-down. Urged on by their White Officers – these Black soldiers repeatedly surged against the breastworks. They came only to die!” Indeed, so impressed by the bravery of these Black soldiers was General Holzclaw, that he cited their bravery in his official “Battle Report”. This would be read by the likes of Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis – so such a report contained much significance. Although the Union would win this battle overall – it did not prevail on this small part of the Nashville battlefield. Of course, such stubborn Confederate action only delayed the inevitable defeat – but it did give the Black Regiments (there others that fought during this battle and even around this area) a chance to show the world what they were capable of doing. The Irish-British (Confederate) General Patrick Clayburne 9who had died at the Battle of Franklin) had suggested to Jefferson Davis that the slaves of the South should be “freed” and co-opted into the Confederate Army – but his idea fell on deaf-ears.

Thailand: Western Degenerates Lament Enforcement of Buddhist Morality! (10.11.2025)

10/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

With the possibility of drinkers themselves being fined, sales of alcohol may halve during those times, Bob, an assistant manager working on Friday said, declining to give his full name because he is not authorised to speak publicly.

There is also concern the stricter laws present an opportunity for officials to enforce fines on customers, restaurants — or both — for personal gain.

Taopiphop Limjittrakorn, a member of parliament from the opposition People’s Party who has pushed for liquor liberalisation, said alcohol sales should be around the clock. “The amended law aims to serve the purpose of those opposing alcohol,” Mr Taopiphop said.

They also risk confusing foreign tourists who may order a drink before the restricted hours but consume it afterward, he said.

In Thailand, where Buddhism is the main religion, practitioners and monks follow the Five Precepts, which include abstaining from alcohol and intoxicants to promote mindfulness and avoid heedlessness.
