Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
Anything that does not fit into to any of the other specific categories and is of general interest!
One of the most effective exports of the US since 1945 – other than global war and predatory capitalism – is, of course, its general capacity to present ‘anti-intellectualism’ as the highest expression of ‘free-will’! To state it simply, being ‘stupid’ is presented as being ‘wise’ – and the US government has fought entire wars in protection of this principle!
The capitalist ideology is wasteful, polluting and its inherent ‘short-termism’ can only lead to the degradation of the planet and its tenuously balanced eco-system! Enhanced profits for the already rich – that’s it! Capitalism has nothing else to offer humanity! Oh, and along the way it will commit the destruction of the eco-system and everything that lives in it (including human beings)! Reality does not have to be this way! Indeed, ‘Socialist’ China is offering the world a different path – one defined by compassion, care and scientific advancement!
This single act of constructive ‘Internationalism’ instantaneously opened the door wide for friendship without borders to develop – whilst simultaneously rescuing the people of China (a process in motion since the 1949 Socialist Revolution) from the stagnant morass the ‘Nationalist’ (KMT) government had dug! General Secretary Xi Jinping, however, has issued a friendly (but timely) reminder to the Chinese people, stating that effective ‘Internationalist’ communication is not a static process! It cannot rest on its laurels, it cannot be a fond memory of the past, but must be a continuous and dynamic expression of the collective will of the Chinese people as expressed through the declaration of Chairman Mao Zedong in 1949 – ‘Today, the Chinese People have stood up!’
To most Americans this conservative estimate of how many predominately ‘Non-White’ people the US Military has killed in their name comes as something of a shock! In the world of US anti-intellectualism – the continuous bombing and strafing of civilian areas (just like in the Movies) – leaves no discernible mark!
Predatory capitalism may well be ‘International’ (in that it wants your labour, your money, your well-being and your life), but it is most definitely NOT ‘Internationalist’ (as it advocates disunity through an anarchic and highly selfish ‘individualism’)! Unions, Welfare Systems, Universal Education, Housing and any form of protective ‘collectivity’ must be denigrated, attacked, dismantled, sold-off and reduced to an oppressive shambles! This is the destructive system the bourgeoisie has made for you – and it replicates the world of mercantile skulduggery that first created their wealth and which eventually brought these blood-suckers to political power!
It is a sad fact that one of the first websites established on the US-controlled internet (during 1997) was dedicated to the political far-right and used the language of mainstream academia to convey the Neo-Nazi pseudo-science that advocates the falsehood of a racial hierarchy – placing the ‘White’ Europeans at the top – and the ‘Black’ Africans at the bottom! Considering how difficult it was in those days to establish even a single line of descriptive text or generate a basic picture online in those days – the suspicion is that the government of US President Clinton was behind this website!
