The Consulate General also released a statement on its official WeChat account Saturday, calling on Chinese nationals in Nigeria to strengthen safety precautions.
“The security situation in Nigeria has remained unstable recently, with frequent incidents such as theft, robbery, and kidnapping, resulting in a generally high security risk,” it said, adding that Chinese enterprises and citizens in Nigeria must highly prioritize their personal safety and take measures to prevent various risks.
My Chinese family came to UK only after we (the “English”) invaded and subjugated their country. Half of my relatives are born in the UK – but we still have relatives living in China. We think Socialist China is a good thing and that China has a right to self-determination. This is not a threat to the UK – but extolls the freedom of thought the UK teaches its children that they possess at school. By supporting China – we are exhibiting the best of ancient Greek thought. We are also supporting everything great and good about England. Furthermore, we oppose English fascism and Ukrainian fascism. We oppose any form of racism and Neo-Nazism. Russia has the same right of self-determination as China and the UK. NATO-backed Neo-Nazism in Kyiv is NOT the best way to uphold and support World Peace! We are NOT Christians – but we do support the right of Christianity to exist and we admire the architecture of Christendom.
The New York Times reported that political violence has become part of the fabric of American society. Just like school shootings, which once shocked the nation’s conscience, such incidents have now become commonplace.
“I take no pleasure in any hatred or any killing; every human being has the sacred right to life,” Greg Cusack, a former member of the Iowa House of Representatives, told Xinhua. “But this insanity will not stop until all the purveyors of hatred and division forever shut their foul mouths.”
“We have had periods like this in the past,” said professor Galdieri, referring to U.S. politics in the 1850s, when members of Congress assaulted each other in the Capitol.
“But things right now are exceptionally grim on this front,” Galdieri said. “I don’t see how things get better any time soon.”
Once that “something” is resolved – the label of “Whiteness” will disappear. As a label, we all inherit certain responsibilities regarding its symbolism. Blatant or shallow “reaction” is very common – but it is not helpful. Adolf Hitler is the arch-reactionary and his disorganised intellection is no answer to the historical crimes of the capitalist ideology. In this sense, we are ALL victims in the broad sense. In the narrow sense, victims and oppressors are identified. Where should the lens of visibility focus? Even within Whiteness there are internal victims and oppressors (every girl and woman reading this will understand what is written). The middle class oppresses the working class, the rich crush the poor, and so on. Then, the White monolith imposes its collective will beyond its own geographical boundaries – upon those who are not “White”.
This privileged section of the peasantry left the majority of its class behind as the aristocracy granted it ever greater levels of political influence and social dominance. Eventually, this new “Middle Class” was trusted with procuring weaponry and hiring fighting men for the nobility – a position the bourgeoisie eventually used for its own empowerment. This is why across Europe numerous Civil Wars broke-out between the bourgeoisie and the nobility – with each vying with the other to attract the peasantry to their respective banners. In the case of the English Civils Wars (three conflicts that occurred in the 1640s and 1650s) – Parliament had been slowly infiltrated by bourgeois Members of Parliament (MPs) over a long period of time. These individuals played-ball for decades before showing their true class colours and finally taking on the English State.
If we, as workers, want to wrestle the control of the means of production from our oppressors, then we, as workers, must be worthy of the task. We must build-up the inner and outer strength which becomes so powerful – because it is right – that no resistance can overcome (or prevent) its success. Although there can always be exceptions to general rules – individualist acts of terror remain firmly within the realms of fascism and should be avoided at all costs. A criminal possess rights. They should be arrested, fairly held in custody, given a fair trial, and then either punished or released – depending upon the verdict of the jury. As workers, we can only exercise this type of judicial power if we work hard enough to earn it. We must find ways of overcoming our poverty and transcending the injustices we face on a daily basis – in a civilised and rarefied manner. Being oppressed is an occupational hazard – it need not define your sense of self-worth. As workers, we must be stronger than the suffering that capitalist market forces inflict upon our minds and bodies! As workers – we do not need to resort to venal terrorism!
