KAMPUCHEA: POL POT’S NAME WRITTEN IN THE CHINESE LANGUAGE! (6.6.2019)
Within the Khmer language the name ‘Pol Pot’ is written as ‘ប៉ុល ពត’, with the Chinese language ideograms suggesting the meaning of a ‘Bull-like Individual Who Delivers a Special Message with the Force of a Wave (hitting the shore)’. I intend to carefully research this subject and move through its terrain very carefully, with the idea that this research will encourage others to think for themselves and not accept the rather lazy mainstream narratives at face-value. As usual I reject a priori the bourgeois interpretations as being bias and unreliable, whilst seeking to establish facts from primary Chinese language (and other) sources. There is no need to ‘defend’ this method as it is nothing other than good academic practice.
Respecting the Multicultural Confederate States of America [CSA]! (28.5.2019)

As matters transpired, Jefferson Davis could not be tried for treason simply because every legal team sent to convict him stated that legally he was in the right and that if a trial went ahead, it would be Lincoln who would be revealed as starting an illegal war of aggression that cost the lives of around 800,000 Americans!

Thinking for Yourself
On the face of it, an injunction to ‘think for yourself’ could appear to be an endorsement of bourgeois individualism, but nothing could be further
