Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

26/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.

The day of seizing power on August 23, 1975 is of great significance to the entire Lao people, because such a victory is the fruit of the protracted Revolutionary struggle of the Lao people and the tribes under the leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party; It is the result of the ingenious courage of the use of the 3-step strategy to seize and hold power in the whole country without being overwhelmed, the victory of the correct Revolutionary line and the wise leadership of the Party, which knows how to creatively incorporate Marxism-Leninism into the actual behavior of the Revolution; It is the victory of the strength of unity, the unity of the whole nation, the unity of the army and the tribal people, the victory of the solidarity of the fighting alliance between the Lao people, the Vietnamese people and the Cambodian people who have stood shoulder to shoulder against the same enemy throughout the previous National Liberation Revolution, that is, in the mission of preserving and building the present nation.

US: Bizarre Trump Crackdown on Visa-Holders “Operating Large Tractor-Trailer Trucks”! (23.8.2025)

Analysts say the administration’s immigration crackdown is widening from undocumented migrants and students to nearly all legal visa holders. This could leave many at risk of losing their status.

New Pew Research Centre data shows the U.S. immigrant population fell by almost 1.5 million in the first half of this year, the first net decline in decades. The total dropped to 51.9 million in June from 53.3 million in January. Researchers attribute the decline largely to stricter policies, which have led to both deportations and voluntary departures.

The White House argues that fewer immigrants ease pressure on public services and help the labour market recover. But experts warn that the long-term effects may be damaging, with labour shortages in key industries such as agriculture, healthcare and services. With the retirement of the baby boomer generation, they note, U.S. reliance on immigrant labour could actually deepen.

The survey identified 18 locations along the trail as historic heritage sites that bear testimony to the shared struggle, solidarity, and friendship between Laos and Vietnam during their respective national liberation movements.

Maj. Gen. Vongsone highlighted that the Ho Chi Minh Trail through Laos was not only a vital transport and supply route of strategic military importance, but also served as a strategic stronghold and base that significantly contributed to Laos’ struggle, the national liberation movement of the Vietnamese people in the South, and the revolutionary struggle of the Cambodian people, ultimately leading to victory over foreign aggressors and the liberation of Southern Vietnam.

He further emphasized that the section of the Ho Chi Minh Trail running through Laos also served as a vital supply route for the front lines in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Today, it stands as a symbol of shared struggle and the enduring solidarity between the peoples of Laos and Vietnam.

Jacobites: ‘Lost African Tribe’ Set-Up Home in Scots Woodlands – Locals Baffled! (21.8.2025)

Their presence has left locals baffled although the tribe claim to live a simple life, bathing in a nearby stream, living in tents, and connecting with nature.

However, they said on Tuesday that they ‘don’t recognise local laws’ and have faced persecution from those who don’t understand their ways.

They have been served eviction notices, and have even suffered an attack on their camp when their tents were set on fire. However, instead of bowing to local law enforcement, they say they only recognise the laws of their God, named Yahowah.

King Atehene, 36, who was previously an opera singer under the name Kofi Offeh, leads the group, which consists of his wife, Queen Nandi, and their handmaiden Asnat. They claim they are a lost tribe of Hebrews, with their King descended from David the Messiah, and say their ancestors were cast out when Elizabeth I deported native black Jacobites.

The group say they live a simple life, and aim to fulfil a prophecy to establish their kingdom and bring other “lost tribes” back into the fold.

King Atehene said: “The prophecy said, after 400 years, when my ancestors are destroyed from the land of Scotland, from the land of Great Britain, they will go into captivity and lose their identity.
