Yelnya: The Soviet Red Army and the First European Defeat Inflicted Upon Nazi Germany During WWII! (18.3.2023) 

‘Nevertheless, the fact that Russia had “allies” – or rather, one major ally, Britain – and that America was going to “help” was of some psychological importance to the Russians, they did not feel entirely alone, and soon after the invasion the thought had become deeply ingrained that the war would be won, no matter how terrible and how long it was. Much was, of course, made of minor military successes, such as the slowing-down of the blitzkrieg at Smolensk (which, curiously, created for several weeks almost a feeling of euphoria, at least in Moscow), and of the small Russian counter-offensive at Yelnya, south of Smolensk in September 1941, when a few hundred square miles were recaptured from the Germans – the first to be recaptured anywhere in Europe since the beginning of the Second World War. At that time, in bombed and half-devastated Vyazna, the future Marshal V. D. Sokolovsky made to the foreign press the significant remark that, fearful as the war was, the Russians were “gradually grinding down” the German war machine, and that in any case Moscow would not be lost.’

What Was Victor Lewis Smith Doing? (16.2.2023)

My report would state that I believe Mr Victor Lewis Smith is a ‘Marxist-Leninist’ (and therefore a ‘supporter’ of Stalin) – but that he uses the ‘Bourgeois’ view of Stalin in his humour to convey the ‘inverted’ and ‘illogical’ view the Bourgeoisie maintain and perpetuate toward one of the most effective working-class leaders the USSR ever produced. This view of Stalin is ‘funny’ because it is ‘ahistorical’ as such a person never existed. This ‘Stalin’ is the Judeo-Christian ‘devil’ which always lurks in the deepest recesses of the ‘inverted’ Bourgeois mind. It is the Bourgeois devil who also ‘juggles’ for the delight of the capacity crowd! A sort of John Wayne Gacy (a ‘slippery Pole’ no less) – who somehow manipulated his way to ‘elected’ power (custard pie in the face) in the USSR (hoot on a car horn)! What Victor Lewis Smith produced is a superb master-class of how to adapt Marxist-Leninist ‘dialectical’ critique and make it work in the mainstream of capitalist society! Everything he says means exactly what it is intended to mean at the point of its expression – whilst its structure becomes redundant (and therefore obsolete) the moment after it is uttered. The meaning is therefore both ‘precise’ and yet transforms in an ‘amorphous’ and therefore ‘universal’ interpretive format. Every sentence expresses exactly what the author intends it to mean – whilst every sentence once uttered becomes whatever the receiving mind wants it to mean – with no ‘contradiction’ manifesting in this unfolding, dialectical process. I believe we are seeing Hegel’s thesis, antithesis and synthesis turned upon its head and functioning the right way around. With the tightening of US hegemony and US anti-intellectualism stalking our land – it may be a very long time before we see the likes of Victor Lewis Smith again in the UK!

Email: Historical Materialism and Crime! (11.2.2023)

Bourgeois Charities are businesses masquerading as altruistic entities. Helping the cause each claims to represent is purely incidental to the all-consuming requirement to make money whilst paying as least tax as possible. Take the so-called ‘Domestic Violence’ charities queuing up to ‘insert’ themselves into the Epsom Shooting tragedy. Most of the PR departments have obviously not read all the historical details as they are pursuing the official ‘all men are evil’ line (resorting to the metaphysical argument) which demonises all men (as if the Judeo-Christian notion of the world is correct) whilst ignoring ‘history’ and ‘material’ reality – the physical plane of we all inhabit.

Making a ‘Living’ Through ‘YouTubing’ is NOT Productive Labour! (25.1.2023) 

‘YouTubing’ is the habitation of a fantasy world made real in images upon a screen. This is exactly the ‘inverted’ world of religion writ large as described by Feuerbach, Marx, Engels and Lenin, etc! In theory, any image, regardless of its positive, negative or neutral construction value, can be made to seem ‘as if it exists’ upon the screen and stimulate the imaginations of all and sundry that happen to allow these images to pass in front of the eye and ear – thus ‘traversing’ the surface of the mind! Whereas the film industry is a tangible profession involving ‘real’ training, qualifications and jobs that guarantee genuine ‘labour’ in the material world – ‘YouTubing’ places this ‘dream-making’ process firmly into the hands of the uneducated and immature masses – telling them that this is ‘reality’ and that no other interpretation exists! The way the entertainment world used to exist (pre-internet) – ensured that ordinary human-beings all inhabited the drab and mundane ‘material’ world and tried our best to traverse its realities and injustices – BEFORE they were able (or allowed) to subject themselves to the ‘inverted’ world of ‘escapism’ and the 90 minutes £5 allotted to get away (just for a moment) from the reality of capitalist existence! All a child has to do now is wake-up and switch-on which ever device happens to be within reach and the ‘inverted’ world of YouTube beckons!

Fighting ‘Capitalism’ in Russia and the Ukraine! (22.11.2022)

After all, our only choices are between Russian and Ukrainian racism – that is ‘degrees of racism’ – and is no choice at all! I bet Hitler is laughing in his grave when he heard the Russians have a privately funded military Unit named after his favourite composer – the rabidly racist Richard Wagner (the badge of which features a ‘Skull’ mimicking the ‘Skulls used in many of the Nazi German ‘SS’ insignia)! Modern, capitalist Russian has more in common with its American counterpart (as both are currently administered by the Bourgeois) than it does with the (Socialist) Soviet Union! Today’s argument is nothing more than a spat between two branches of the ruling Bourgeoisie over whose interpretation of history (and present model of modernity) will donate in the Ukraine. Once again, in true oppressive style, it is the minds and bodies of the working class that are used as the fuel to power this exploitative process.✊✊✊

New ‘Third’ Fossilized Skull of “Yunxian Man” (Homo Erectus) Found in Central China! (29.9.2022)

In 1989 and 1990, the first and second such skulls, dating from 800,000 to 1.1 million years ago, were unearthed at an early Paleolithic period site in central China’s Hubei Province. The fossil skulls are believed to belong to Homo Erectus and were named “Yunxian Man.”

The new fossil, named “No. 3 Skull of Yunxian Man,” was discovered about 35 meters from the excavation location of the first two skull fossils, with similarities in terms of burial environment and the technical characteristics of their companion stone artifacts.

Archaeologists have carried out systematic excavations at the site since 2021, which led to the new discovery. Part of the new skull has been unearthed, with no obvious deformation visible so far.

Experts said that the new discovery will provide important evidence showing the evolution of Homo Erectus and its origin and development in China and East Asia.
