Russia: II [2025] International Anti-Fascist Forum! (1.9.2026)

It is peculiar that the “DPRK” (North Korea) is not on this list – considering how close Russia and Pyongyang actually are. I think North Korean troops may have been fighting and dying in Kursk around this time. Furthermore, the UK is missing off this list – but there were delegates from the “New Communist Party”. A number of these countries, at one time or other, possessed Communist entities that perpetuated the Trotskyite view that Russia was “imperialist” – a position I reject. I suspect that this situation emerges from there being a number of competing Communist entities within each sovereign geographical boundary. There are some that support – and some that oppose – Russia. But Russia must be supported once the fog of inverted thinking and subjectivism is lifted. Finally, it is an important observation that Communist statues pursue the task of inspiring the working-class by visually stimulating the Bolshevik dialectic.

US: Trump Orders Re-Opening of “The Rock” – Notorious Alcatraz Prison! (5.5.2025)

It would take an enormous amount of money to make Alcatraz into a functioning prison, Professor Gabriel Jack Chin from the Davis School of Law at the University of California told the BBC.

The federal prison system is actually down about 25% from its peak population and “there are a lot of empty beds” in existing prisons, Chin said. “So its not clear if a new one is needed.”

Alcatraz has “a reputation as a tough prison” and Trump is trying to send a message that his administration will be tough on crime, Chin added.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat whose district includes Alcatraz, said the proposal was “not a serious one,” while the Democratic state senator for San Francisco, Scott Wiener, called the idea “deeply unhinged” in post on Instagram and “an attack on the rule of law.”
