Sutton: Revolutionay Seasons Greetings – Happy Yuletide!

“The essence of Trotskyism consists, lastly, in the denial of the necessity of iron discipline in the Party, in the recognition of the freedom of factional groupings in the Party, in the recognition of the necessity of constituting a Trotskyist party. For Trotskyism, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union must be not a united and single militant Party, but a collection of groups and factions, each with its own central organization, press and so forth. And what does this mean? It means that following the freedom of political groupings in the Party must come the freedom of political parties in the country, i.e., bourgeois democracy. Consequently, we have here the recognition of the freedom of factional groupings in the Party, leading directly to the toleration of political parties in the country of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and all covered up with phrases about ‘internal Party democracy’ and ‘improving the regime’ within the Party.” (Joseph Stalin, Leninism, Vol. II, English Edition, pp. 391-393.)

On Attempting to Be Theoretically and Practically “Free”! (17.11.2023)

This situation reminds me of Carl Jung, an ethnic German born in Switzerland, who in 1956 published a ridiculous little book purportedly about ‘UFOs’ – but which contained a section openly attacking the USSR (parroting US Cold War Propaganda) just 11-years after Jung’s ethnicity had perpetuated one of the worst crimes in human history – killing and maiming 41-million in the USSR! Jung NEVER addressed the inhumanity of his fellow Germans but felt able to lend his academic weight to the ongoing demonisation of the victims of German immorality. From that day onwards, Jungian thinking and theory become just another path leading to an illusionary freedom – with those who describe themselves as ‘Jungians’ simply making the same interpretive mistakes as their progenitor.

Live on Forever as a Proletariat! (25.10.2023)

Meanwhile, China seems to be following a path of commercialisation which seeks to develop the closest of ties with the US – a country whose people and political system remains the furthest away in relevance from everyday Chinese needs. Maoism or ‘More-ism’? Who can tell – as the Chinese ideologues appear to be relying upon ‘contradiction’ as a means to deflect all criticism of the post-1979 path its leaders have chosen to follow. Perhaps this is as superficial as the American-English the Chinese State choses to use when writing English language articles – a policy that is nothing but an insult to British English. This would be like British people using the Korean written script whilst claiming to be writing ‘Chinese’ language texts. Perhaps this scathing criticism will generate some type of positive change.

Manifesto of the Communist Party By Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels [1848] – Text & Speech! (6.8.2023)

Those with abilities should help those without abilities – and ALL should be lifted-up together! This is a dialectically pivotal text which sparks-off all further dialectical development in the human mind. My children, for instance, although NOT trapped in any form of ‘dogma’ – academically perform regularly in the top 5% of the country (UK) – simply because of the effect of the associated brilliance of the thought forms of Marx and Engels! Therefore, it is not just the theoretical content that is important, but the manner in which the content is derived, constructed and presented. The way in the content unfolds! It is a method of continuous, pristine creativity! It is the essence of Communist ‘Futurism’ – as Vladimir Mayakovsky once observed!

Dialectically Assessing Religious History! (16.7.2023)

An intuitive (collective) grasp does not constitute a material consensus. Of course, the work of Marx and that of the Bourgeois intellectuals featured above does intersect. Marx, however, must be ‘ignored’ because his method (if pursued to its logical conclusion) – not only exposes the inverted nature of religion – but also the inverted nature of the entirety of Bourgeois society (including those intellectuals who expose religion – but do not expose the predatory capitalism it creates and they rely on) because such an admittance would effectively end Bourgeois existence and see it subsumed within a Socialist Revolution!

The Case for Karl Marx NOT Being an Ethnic Jew! (2.7.2023)

His mother was the daughter of a Prussian (Christian) aristocrat. Marx would have experienced Judaism very much in the same objective manner that most non-Jews do – through the pages of academic books and perhaps the odd site-seeing tour. Indeed, Marx even penned an article addressing the so-called ‘Jewish Question’ – where he treats the presence (and activities) of Jews with an alarming frankness. This has led a number of commentators to treat Marx in something of a unique way, as he is simultaneously accused of being a Jew on the one-hand, and acting in an anti-Semitic (Secular) manner on the other!
