Qiu Miaolin - Author - Lesbian Activist

Email: What Are My Views About Qiu Miaolin (邱妙津) [1969-1995]? (23.1.2026)

I would argue that non-White cultures (not crushed by Eurocentric imperialism) possess a scale of sexual and gender manifestation that is far more fluid than that found in th West. Much more is tolerated with far less reactionary resistsnce. Married Chinese men can be effeminate – just as married Chinese women can be masculine – it is not that big a deal in the everyday world of Chinese existence. Teenagers naturally discover their sexuality and identity without the interference of the State define this or punishing that – so what exactly was Qiu Miaolin rebelling against? Was it the Nationalist domination of Taiwan? Was it the fascist (patriarchal) reality of Kuomintang (KMT) reality? Was it the obvious US domination of her Chinese culture? Was it the left-over influence of the Imperial Japanese presence on the island? I note that in the Chinese-language assessments of Qiu Miaolin – the “gay” Japanese fascist – Yukio Mishima is mentioned. After WWII, Mishima propagated a male gay cult that practiced homo-erotic martial arts whilst dreaming of over-throwing the US-dominated government and returning Japan to its feudal greatness (he would lead a failed military uprising in the early 1970s – before committing ritual suicide). Mishima, of course, was an anti-China racist – so why admire him? I am not a woman and am not a lesbian – so I advise the reader to research freely and to think for themselves.

Marxist-Leninists Respect the Religious Choices of Others!

Australia: Prominent [White] Activist -Robert Martin – Reverts to Islam! (20.1.2026)

During the event, Martin provided an extensive account of his childhood, describing a background shaped by neglect, instability, and prolonged periods within state care during the 1970s. He said he was frequently left unattended as an infant, prompting intervention by neighbours and authorities before being placed into institutional care.

He was adopted at the age of four, but said his early experiences had already resulted in deep psychological trauma. According to Martin, behavioural issues during childhood were often treated as personal failings rather than symptoms of neglect, a pattern he said reflected the limitations of welfare and mental health systems at the time.

By his early teens, Martin said he was regularly consuming alcohol and struggling at school. He reported being expelled from multiple institutions and later spending time in juvenile detention, including on his 16th birthday.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un's Speech at Conference in Celebration of 80th Anniversary of Founding of Socialist Patriotic Youth League

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un’s Speech at Conference in Celebration of 80th Anniversary of Founding of Socialist Patriotic Youth League! (19.1.2026)

In the 1950s, the members of the democratic youth league defended their country in the flames of the war, and the Chollima movement pioneers rehabilitated this land on the debris of the war; in the grim period when the destiny of socialism was at stake, your parents’ generation defended their country, their social system. In this way, all the generations of our Republic have left behind legendary tales and structures, signs of their exploits, which are symbolic of their youth and which are named after their generations.

Shining on all these achievements are the feats performed by the youth league in implanting in the young people the sense of duty and obligation as befits the successors to the revolution and in firmly maintaining the tradition of purity, patriotism and loyalty of the youth movement of Korea.

The charity plans to make the site accessible to the public

UK: Heighington Station [1827] – First Train Platform in World! (19.1.2026)

Last year Heighington Station, which dates to back to 1827 and was part of the first passenger railway to use steam trains in the world, was bought by the charity Friends of the Stockton and Darlington Railway.

The group’s chair Niall Hammond said the excavation of a small train platform located near the site was planned.

He said it was presumed it was the “original for the building” because it looked the right size and shape.

He said plans were still in the early stages, but that the group hoped to attract lots of volunteers to the dig over the summer.

Hammond said the platform, which is next to the station, was “tiny” and had cobbles.

He said ideally the team would find a “Georgian penny” at the bottom of the platform during the dig which would confirm its age.
