CSA: Piles of Thread-Bare Confederates at Antietam [Sharpsburg] – Notes on Their Sacrifice! (31.1.2025)

The Union Army paid the farmer $1 per dead Confederate body and the farmer made $60 out of the deal. He dug a new well in a different place for the cost of $2 – making a wartime profit of $58. No one knows the names of these Confederate soldiers – and if it was not for a report being made by the Union soldiers concerned – no one would know about these men today. Of course, there was great bravery on both sides – but the spin placed on the war by the winners has skewed how the Confederacy is viewed today. These Confederate men (and boys) advanced into the Union fire with the utmost discipline and determination. They believed 100% in their cause – which was for the freedom of their individual countries (termed “States”). At the time, this war was not only about slavery – but has been made ONLY about slavery since 1865. Many believed the federalisation of the United States was a betrayal of the 1776 War of Independence – and nothing short of a great evil!

Two Revolutionaries!

UK: From Workers’ Rights – All Other Rights Flow! (1.2.2025)

The problem is so bad that even gay groups side with the opinions of bourgeois reaction and attack the progressive record of the USSR. This is why I do not support “bourgeois” gay rights groups per se (although I do support gay people in general). This is because bourgeois gay people are class enemies who support predatory capitalism. On the other hand, I do support Revolutionary workers who might choose to identify as Socialists or Communists first and foremost – and who are also distinctive in their other self-perceptions (a small number of the original Bolsheviks are said to have been gay – with this being known to Lenin). The point is that fighting for bourgeois acceptance is not good enough – as it leaves all the injustices of capitalism in place. It is through the overthrow of capitalism that all other Revolutionary change will come. Just being bourgeois and gay is not good enough!

London: Happy Chinese New Year [恭喜發財 – Gung Hay Fat Choi] 2025-4723! (29.1.2025)

In otherwards, by showing respect to one another (humanity) animals, plants, and nature – a great inner happiness is generated that flows outward through society and generates all kinds of inner and outer wealth (not just material wealth – but also intellectual, emotional and spiritual). This is the proper use of Confucianism ideology – not distorted by governments and classes that have ulterior motives used to control the masses through deception. The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE) was originally “foreign” (Manchurian-Jurchen) – and distorted Confucian thinking so as to paralyse Chinese society and prevent its development. Today, the Jurchen are now considered “Chinese” – and Confucianism is used to emphasise “education” and “self-cultivation”.

Grover Furr!

Valued Email from Prof. Grover Furr! (29.1.2025)

I find that your work is so complete and accurate that it is almost disturbing in the truth it conveys. It is sad and soul-destroying to witness the extent of the lies developed in the West (and elsewhere) to distort the Socialist Project – particularly the Trotskyite focus of falsely representing the career of Joseph Stalin. The lies almost seem to exist as an independent form of life. People are conditioned psychologically to simply absorb (and uncritically) accept the lies that are told and perpetuated. Thank goodness for your insightful mind and penetrating work!

Facism is Defeated!

The Politics of “Genocide” – Making Sense of the Nazi German Killing During WWII! (28.1.2025)

The US killed, wounded, and “disappeared” around 6 million men, women, and children in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos through its destructive blanket-bombing campaign, the dropping of napalm, and its use of Agent Orange. It was the US who committed “Genocide” in South-East Asia – and not the South-East Asians who were their victims. Today, a glaring omission from this supposed list of “Genocides” is that one currently being committed by the Zionist Jews in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria! Even during the supposed “Ceasefire” – the Zionists are continuing to murder Palestinian men, women, and children! The intensity of the killing is reduced somewhat from that seen over the last 18-months – but the Zionist ethnic-cleansing of the Palestinians continuous unabaited! Not all Jews support Israel or its Zionist Project – but the Western media is complicit with the Zionist “Genocide” in Gaza (armed by the US, UK, and EU)  – and the racialisation of the Russian people who continue to fight the forces of Neo-Nazism in Ukraine for all of humanity!

PLA Navy Type 054B frigate

China: PLA Navy Modernises for “Self-Defence” War! (23.1.2025)

Xiao Liang, a senior hardware researcher in the nation’s shipbuilding industry, said the Type 054B is the largest class of frigate the Navy has ever used and is almost as big as some of China’s old-type destroyers.

“Its large size allows for carrying more munitions and fuel, and also means this new class has bigger potential for further upgrade,” Xiao said. “Its propulsion system enables it to sail farther than other Chinese frigates. Another remarkable point is the new type’s radar system, which, without any exaggeration, makes previous radars of its kind look like antiques.

“Compared with previous frigate models in China that are mainly tasked with anti-submarine operations, the Type 054B is also capable of performing fleet air-defense missions,” he added.

Meanwhile, the larger air-service zone means the new frigate can bring a bigger helicopter such as the Z-20, and that will give the ship a better capability to detect, track and hit hostile submarines, according to Xiao.
