2024 Shogun Series

Shogun: Exposing & Resisting Disney-fication! (7.3.2024)

On the other hand, if US-born (Asian) actors – pretending to be a) Japanese and b) medieval – presses your buttons then this show is definitely for you. An extra treat is in store if you like random White (European) people pretending to be a) English, and b) Elizabethan. The fact Japan is currently (and deliberately) pumping nuclear waste into the South China Sea has much to do with the manner in which this mini-series has been received. This happens at a time when Japan continues to antagonise China by refusing to acknowledge internationally recognised boundaries – whilst not apologising for WWII atrocities! A positive US decreed media consensus has declared this piece of parody (and Eurocentric mimicry) to be universally a ‘great success’. 

Why US “Anti-Intellectual” Ignorance Should NOT Be Allowed to Define the Political Horizon! (14.8.2023)

The reward for this ‘Socialist’ sacrifice has been the Bourgeoisie systematically demonising the Socialist presence, the Socialist past and the Socialist future. The Bourgeoisie has showered the very ‘far-right’ the Socialists defeated with all the awards and accolades that were once destined for the Socialist world. The enemy of humanity which was defeated by the Socialists has now been lifted up out of its own ashes and respectfully placed on a pedestal by the Bourgeoisie. The youth of today are trained to ignore the sacrifice of their great grandparents – and instead eulogise the fascist ideology of those they once bravely fought against and gave their lives to stop! The Bourgeoisie does not care just as long as its power remains unchallenged and unchanged. The fascist ‘tickling stick’ lies, lies and lies again to temporarily empower itself whilst always keeping the Bourgeoisie firmly in power. Fascism keeps rising and falling in and upon itself over and over again – as this is the part the Bourgeoisie has assigned to it in this drama. Only the structures of Scientific Socialism reveal the dynamics of this ongoing illusion and explains how such a delusion is to be overcome!

The Important Work of Brian Victoria – Exposing (Fascist) Japan’s Murderous ‘War’ Zen! (13.2.2023)  

The point was that the Zen Establishment in Japan from 1868 onwards pursued a purely right-wing ‘Nationalist’ agenda which included the use of Zen meditation as a form of brainwashing that programmed generations of young Japanese men to ‘kill’ or ‘maim’ the declared (and racially inferior) ‘enemy’ without any psychological or emotional hindrance on their part. This type of corrupted ‘Zen’ turned the Japanese ‘martial arts’ into vehicles of mass murder – and Zen Buddhism into an agency of fascist ideology akin to the Hitlerism pursued within the Nazi German ‘SS’. Following WWII, and particularly following the 1949 Socialist Revolution in China, the US revitalised many elements of the ‘fascist’ Japanese Establishment – particularly ‘Zen’ and the ‘martial arts’ – artificially spreading these attributes throughout the Western world as a means to ‘counter’ and ‘side line’ the presence of the Chinese Overseas population. The US government was of the opinion that ALL Overseas Chinese people were threats to American capitalism and liberal democracy.
