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.

UK: On Why the Queen Does Not Own Anything! (18.2.2025)

The very concept of the royal family is parasitic and out of date. Although entities such as the Police and the Military pledge an oath to the Queen – each institution is in fact ‘legally’ bound to be loyal first and foremost to the Bourgeois State and the elected Parliament that administers that State! Whilst the British right-wing begrudges the British working-class possessing a Welfare State and NHS that itself-finances through collective taxation – it is perfectly willing to usurp the tax revenue collected from the working-class to finance the parasitic lifestyles of the royal family which quite often involves immoral or illegal activity for which no members of the royal family are punished in any way! What modern people must remember in the UK is that the contemporary royal family works for us – and we do not, as a nation – work for it! Furthermore, the Queen possesses NO political power and we are NOT subject to her Majesty’s whims, beck or call! The contemporary royal family is an anachronism that should be abolished with all the royal palaces turned into schools, hospitals, museums and freely accessible public spaces.

Oliver Cromwell and the Abolition of State Sanctioned ‘Christmas’

Oliver Cromwell was a very civilised, intelligent and progressive individual. He was also a devout Christian. Why, then, did he agree to ‘ban’ Christmas? He carried out this progressive measure because he thought that it was a great evil for the State to ‘enforce’ a religious celebration upon its citizens. As a consequence, Cromwell oversaw the legislation that ‘banned’ the State sanctioning of a national holiday that had, in his and many other Christian’s eye, no connection with legitimate Christian practice.
