Seizing power on August 23, 1975,

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Remembering “August 23rd” [1945] – and the Seizing of Power! (24.8.2025)

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.

Trump Attacks Rubber-Duck Enthusiasts!

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 ceremony to proclaim the recognition of the Annamite Range–Ho Chi Minh Trail (on the Lao side) as a national historical heritage

Lao People’s Democratic Republic – Ho Chi Minh Trail Recongised as “National Treasure”! (22.8.2025)

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.

Highgate Cemetery - Carrying the Red Flag!

UK Workers Carrying the Red Flag! (21.8.2025)

If the Working Class is not yet free – then carrying the Red Flag represents hope and defiance of the status quo – whilst simultaneously serving notice of the intention of the Proletariat to seize the means of production. The Red Flag is not a statement of allegiance to a (fake) bourgeois notion of nationalist belonging. The Red Flag is not a confirmation of an ethnic or religious outlook. The Red Flag is not a statement of gender or sexual orientation. The Red Flag represents much more than all these passing things. Workers are first and foremost Proletariats – as we have nothing to sell but our labour. Only after this “Internationalist” and “Collective” identity is acknowledged do things like countries, religions, identities, gender, and sexual orientation, etc, come into play.

The Book I Am current Reading!

Stalin – A Biography (Re-Examining Stalin – Learning from Past – Taking the Right Path) By Dai Longbin (戴隆斌)! [20.8.2025]

Deprived of his father’s love at a young age, Stalin developed a distinctly rebellious character, a daring spirit of adventure, and a willingness to fight—key factors in his subsequent development as a staunch Marxist and Lenin’s successor. His personality enabled him to make tremendous historical contributions to Soviet governance, the Communist Party, and the military, leaving behind both glory and retribution. He was a historical giant, both charismatic and discerning.

Apply the Marxist Dialectic Correctly!

Stalin was a Great Working-Class Leader of Organic Communism! (20.8.2025)

Another tiger-trap is the “National Bolshevik” movement. To be clear, I am a Bolshevik (from the Chinese perspective) – but I am not a nationalist (Indeed, I am an “Internationalist” – a Maoist no less). The “Naz-Bol” movement evolved out of a fascist-infected (post-1991) Russia. This movement integrates Hitler’s ideology with a post-1945 US (Cold War) misidentification of Joseph Stalin. This flawed ideology misinforms that there is “no difference” between historical Hitler and a fictional Stalin. Well, 41 million dead and wounded Soviet citizens would beg to differ. Naz-Bols combine Marxist-Leninist economics with Hitler’s warped theories on race. This rejects the Marxist idea of “Internationalism”. On the face of it, these deluded individuals will talk highly of Stalin (as I do) – and then state he is no different to Hitler (which I definitely do not) – claiming both were ruthlessly racist (a complete lie – Stalin wasn’t even Russian).
