USSR: Debunking the False Idea of a Late-1930s Anti-Chinese Purge! (13.10.2026)

13/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The message is this – the workers do not possess the ability (or right) to rule themselves. This idea is routinely hurled at Communist China on a daily basis by Western racists – my partner is subjected to it in her workplace and my daughters in their school. For the ethnic Chinese the problem is two-fold – they are the wrong “race” and the wrong “class” – a double-whammy. During the UK, US, and German invasion of Revolutionary Russia between 1918-1921 (a process of unbridled aggression that involved around 20-countries – which killed 10.5 million Russians) – Nationalist China sided with the West and sent troops to the Chinese border with Russia (Vladivostok). Indeed, following the 1917 Revolution – the conditions for Chinese workers living in Russia improved dramatically – with many workers returning to China carrying Socialist ideas (Lenin even had a personal bodyguard comprised of Chinese martial artists).

Germany: Magnus Hirschfeld & His Two “Boyfriends”! (12.10.2026)

12/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) had two prominent life partners. The first was “Karl Giese” (1898–1938) – who was 30-years his junior. Giese had previously worked as an “Archivist” at the Institute for Sexual Science. In 1931, Hirschfeld met “Li Shiu Tong” (1907-1996) – a 23-year-old medical student – in Shanghai (Li was 49-years younger than Hirschfeld). Li became the partner of Hirschfeld – who referred to him as “Tao Li” (桃李) – meaning “Peach – Plum” (a synonym for “homosexuality” or an “effeminate” man). Hirschfeld, Giese, and Li Zhaotang lived together in Switzerland and France. Apparently, despite living as three-some – these two men sometimes conflicted with one another through jealousy (according to the available literature).

UK: Cleaning the Ancestral Graves [Chung Yeung – 重陽] – Mid Autumn “Hungry Ghost” Festival!

28/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

As summer transition to Autumn – the mid-point is considered a time when the material world is in a state of commune with the unseen spiritual world. The ideograms “重陽” are pronounced “Zhong Yang” (Double Nine) in Putonghua (Mandarin) – are pronounced “Chung Yeung” in the Cantonese dialect (spoken in Hong Kong). In our Hakka dialect we say “Chhiùng-Yòng” – which is nearer the Northern Beijing dialect (Hakka people migrated into the South from the North). Although the graves are cleaned of leaves and dirt – this time of year is usually designed for “feeding” the spirits. Bowls of fresh (sealed) food can be laid near the grave with paper clothing “burned” (the smoke carries the objects up to the divine-sky). The food is then taken away, Incense is lit and flowers distributed.

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

03/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

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).

UK: My Early Life in the 1970s School System! (15.7.2026)

15/07/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Some Black people are like this in the UK – but not all. When stood queuing outside the London Aquarium once, a West Indian woman started racially abusing Gee and ramming a push-chair into the back of Gee’s legs – accusing her of being responsible for the queue. Being racist, she had no idea that Gee was with me. When she realised this – she looked worried and left. So, White-looking people can still be of some use to non-White people. You would be surprised at the extent of internecine in-fighting between non-White groups in the UK. Anyway, I am a proletariat “Internationalist” – Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. I was all this when I was born – but it took me years and years to work it all out. Marx was right and we will end-up living in a Communist paradise at some point in the future. This might be violent, peaceful, or quite natural. If you had told someone 500-years ago that the Catholic Church would be gone, the monarch beheaded, and society Secular today – they would have thought you made. And yet here we are.

DPRK: Kim Jong Un Receives “78th KPA Founding Anniversary” Congratulations from Friendly Military Attaches Corps! (5.2.2026)

05/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Part of the US embargo on World Socialism is the banning and supressing of important news stories from the most progressive areas of the world. This policing of removing Socialism from the everyday discourse of the West – is often interspersed with the placing of racist and misinforming news articles designed to demonise all the Socialist countries. Of course, this is part of a Socialist World Revolution that has not yet spread all over the world. Socialist countries are spread-out like oasis dispersed throughout the capitalist countries which denote success in terms of the growth and efficiency of the exploitation of the workers. In this regard, the capitalist West views Socialist progression – that is, the freedom of the workers – as an “error”. On the other-hand, all the progressive nations of the earth appear on display in this article in the DPRK.
