Laos: International Women’s Day [March 8th] Celebrated in Vientiane! (9.3.2025)

09/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

“In 1910,” she added, “the first international conference on women’s issues was held in Denmark, with over 100 representatives from 17 countries. The conference officially recognized March 8 as International Women’s Day. Since then, March 8 has become a significant political event, marking a fundamental victory for the international women’s movement in the struggle for the legitimate rights and interests of working women worldwide. The movement’s slogans include ‘8 hours of work a day, equal pay for equal work for men and women, health protection for women and children, opposition to war and aggression, and the preservation of world peace.’ Today, March 8 is celebrated in many countries around the world.”

Lebanon: Palestinian Popular Women & Prisoner Committees in Nahr al-Bared – Organize “Stand in Solidarity” Rallies with Gaza and Prisoners! (3.11.2023)

03/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This was achieved in the presence of the Head of the Women’s Committees in Lebanon – Imtiaz Hallaq – and a number of other important women and their companions in the Women’s Committees operating in Sector A. A speech given by the Women’s Committees was given by Manal Abdel Rahim – a member of the Women’s Committees area in Al-Bared – saluted the people of Gaza for their legendary steadfastness, endurance, determination and will-power in the face of the Zionist military war machine! This is the case despite the massacres and genocide of our people, indicating that the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood is only the beginning of liberation and the establishment of the Palestinian State, with Jerusalem as its capital, and that victory is inevitably coming!

William Burroughs – My Lunch is Naked – So What? (21.2.2023)

21/02/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

For instance, William Burroughs (in his masterpiece ‘Naked Lunch’) argues that male homosexuality is a product of Matriarchy – whereby women ‘influence’ men (through a sort of cultural ‘osmosis’) to take on a female sexual orientation. Women deny they are doing this, of course, whilst perpetuating the camouflaging myth that they are the ones being oppressed by male ‘Patriarchy’ – the very attribute combined womanhood is destroying through this ongoing effeminate re-programming of men. The Bourgeois State accepts this female-concocted surface argument as a means to avoid acknowledging the real causes of Gayness, or the further suggested idea by William Burroughs that much of what passes as ‘deviant’ sexual behaviour in a post-industrial society (as decreed by the Bourgeois State and enforced by reactionary elements of the working class) – exist because those participating in such activities find them enjoyable and fulfilling.

Lenin: Conversation with Clara Zetkin (1920) – Her Recollections! (31.12.2022)

31/12/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

Clara Zetkin was sent by Rosa Luxemburg to set Lenin straight over issues of the rights of women – and the direction and tone of the Revolution in general! Rosa Luxemburg – like many adherents of the failed Second International – disagreed with Lenin and his ‘Third International and suggested the Revolutionary Movement should cooperate with the existing Bourgeois status quo to a greater extent, and back away from the idea of ‘overthrowing’ the capitalist system! In this regard, and when taking these attitudes into account, Rosa Luxemburg sailed very close to the Trotskyite position of collaboration with reaction. Indeed, she would eventually be murdered by one of her former students – a tragic end that reveals the limitations of her attitudes. Below is an English translation of a text originally written in the German language by Clara Zetkin recalling her memories of a number of discussions, she had with Lenin during late 1920 in Moscow as the Russian Civil War was still raging and Lenin (and the Communist Party) were planning the forming of large federal Socialist State as a means to generating the conditions for a better form of military self-defence from attack by the capitalist world. During early 1918, Revolutionary Russia had been invaded by Imperial Germany and six of her Allies, and by the UK, US and twelve of their Allies! This war would last from 1918-1921 and cost the Russian people 10.5 million casualties! Imperial Japan would only abandon Vladivostok during October 1922 – just before the forming of the ‘Union of Soviet Socialist Republics’ (USSR) on December 30th, 1922! Meanwhile, far from telling Lenin what to do or think, Clara Zetkin found herself converted by his intelligence and insight and returned to Germany informing all and sundry that Lenin was right, and that Rosa Luxemburg should listen and learn from Lenin! Marxist-Leninist ‘Feminism’ is the only truly ‘Revolutionary’ path for women and is very different to the ‘Bourgeois’ mock-feminism that abounds today! For women to be truly ‘free’ – predatory capitalism must be overthrown completely and there can be no compromise whatsoever on this point! Anyone woman that compromises with capitalism is a traitor to the Revolutionary cause!

Ancient Greece: How Amazon Women Altered Their Bodies to Prepare for War! (26.7.2022)

26/07/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

An obvious etymology of their name, “breastless,” suggested the belief that they used to burn off the right breast that they might the better draw the bow. In the Iliad Priam tells how he fought against their army in Phrygia; and one of the perilous tasks which set to Bellerophon is to march against the Amazons. In a later Homeric poem, the Amazon Penthesilea appears as a dreaded adversary of the Greeks at Troy. To win the girdle of the Amazon Queen was one of the labours of Heracles. All these adventures happened in Asia Minor; and, though this female folk was located in various places, its original and proper home was ultimately placed on the river Thermodon near the Greek colony of Amisus. But Amazons attacked Greece itself. It was told that Theseus carried off their Queen Antiope, and so they came and invaded Attica. There was a terrible battle in the town of Athens, and the invaders were defeated after a long struggle. At the feast of Theseus the Athenians used to sacrifice to the Amazons; there was a building called the Amazoneion in the western quarter of the city; and the episode was believed by such men as Isocrates and Plato to be as truly an historical fact as the Trojan war itself. The battle of the Greeks with Amazons were a favourite subject of Grecian sculptors; and, like the Trojan war and the adventure of the golden fleece, the Amazon story fitted into the conception of an ancient and long strife between Greece and Asia.’
