UK: Claudia Jones & the “Murder of Kelso Cochrane” – How the Concept of “Carnival” Began in the UK! (4.9.2026)

The problem is that White racism remains unchallenged in its depth by the dialectic of Marxist-Leninism – which if it was permitted to be unleashed fully – would totally uproot this last bastion of Eurocentric chauvinism. This is why Maoism remains so important for both truly progressive Whites and non-Whites together. In the thought processes of Mao Zedong there is a saving “Internationalism” that develops Marxist-Leninism to its ultimate conclusion. Until racism on the left is firmly dealt with – non-White (and progressive Whites) will be “alienated” by the very Communist ideology that is designed to save them. Finally, Davies mentions that there are “Black” alternative versions of how the carnival began – linking it to non-Communist migrants of the Windrush Generation. Even here we can see the watering-down of the “Communist” inspiration. This reminds me of how bourgeois leftists align themselves with the “Internationalist” working-class effort during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) – which was armed and financed by the USSR – whilst simultaneously claiming that “Communist” ideology had little (or nothing) to do with the world-wide opposition to fascism.

US: Claudia Jones Deported to the UK [in 1955] for Being a “Communist”! (3.9.2026)

This is typical of the bourgeois academic community – and perhaps to be expected of someone who has infiltrated and made his own way (successfully) in the White world (there are realities of “race” and “racism” that require navigating to avoid exclusion and ostracization). Indeed, even on the far-left, people like Claudia Jones are omitted from the general history and this stems from as yet un recognised and untreated disease of racism that exists on the left. The left lives in a world where it feels it occupies the moral high-ground because the USSR conquered racism. This “conquering” did not spread outside the USSR and the left in the West has no right to associate itself with it. Furthermore, from 1956 onwards, the USSR pursued a subtle but distinct “White” (Russian nationalistic) approach to the spread of Communism – as non-White China was demonised for daring to support Stalin against the lies perpetuated by Khrushchev. Although Claudia Jones did receive medical care in the USSR – and met Mao Zedong in 1964 (twice) – as part of an anti-racist and anti-colonial delegation (despite my extensive personal [family] and professional contacts with Chinese academia on the Mainland – I have not been able to locate any photographs of these meetings).
