Long Live Socialist Venezuela!

Solidarity with Venezuela: Trump’s YouTube Banning Leads to Greater Sharing of Maduro Resistance! (27.9.2025)

We acquired a Venezuelan flag and a few badges out of solidarity. For our children, they are learning the concept of caring for – and standing with – others who live further away – and are suffering a greater tyranny from the capitalists than we currently are. Furthermore, timing is everything and at the moment the UK is not exactly aligned with the blatant illegality that is the Trump Administration. Therefore, at the moment we are “safe” from being attacked by our own government for being Socialist. Of course, things can change in a moment and our peaceful tactics will have to adjust. This must ability must be taught to the younger generation by those who have lived longer and gained the relevant experience. As a lineage – we pass it on. Everything is relative and until the working-class acquires power – we must learn to find what freedom we can within the oppression we are forced to exist. So be it – until there is no more oppression to keep us down.

Execution of King Charles I - Charlie Hit in the Neck!

On Why Charlie Was Killed With a Blow to the Neck – I Cannot Remain Silent Any Longer! (12.9.2025)

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.

VI Lenin Denied the Use of Terrorism!

Lenin: Adventurism [1914] – Perspectives on Political Violence! (11.9.2025)

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!

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.

Silversea - Animal Policy

Silversea Onboard Animal Policy – the “Elephant” in the Room – Plus Silversea Response! (21.3.2025)

I was enthralled to see a fine pair of elephants (good ivory – strong stature) featured on the Silversea online website – next to the description of the cruise-ship entertainment and various other distractions (including a breeding-pair of Polar Bears – I believe). May I take this opportunity to enquire as to what is the policy for animals being onboard? Although I am a little out-of-date, I am told the odd ship might possess a parrot to keep the children engaged – but am musing as to whether the new cruise-ships – being as spacious as they are – could also contain some type of Zoo?

Battle of Chancellorsville

CSA: Would a Confederate Victory Have Led to a Socialist Revolution? (28.2.2025)

However, the Southern ideas of honour and their so-called aristocratic thinking were overblown and these ideas actually sometimes played to the South’s benefit, as the men in the South followed natural leaders and often times appointed them on their own (via popular vote). All too often, in the North, Officers were often political appointees – desk-bound Officers who hadn’t seen a battlefield in years – or ever. Or men who simply bought their way into a General’s uniform. One of the more stereotypical views of the South was the aforementioned backward, backwoodsman. Think about that for a moment. Yes – a significant portion of the Confederate Army was poor, uneducated, and illiterate. Some left-leaning historians have said  – with some accuracy – that the poor Whites of the South had more in common with the slaves – than they did with the leading families who owned most of the land and the fabulous estates like the fictional “Tara” in Gone With the Wind.
