Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
Wearing a poppy is nothing less than supporting capitalism and imperialism, and has absolutely ‘nothing’ to do with ‘respect’ for British military veterans. If the British government really respected the young working class men and women it routinely sends to fight and die in foreign lands, then it would not have cut veteran benefits or medical in the first place.
Why can’t a Black President simply order these racialised ‘killings’ to stop, and demand that the officers responsible be imprisoned? He might also issue apologies to the surviving families, and authorise compensation pay-outs and nation-wide memorials.
The best way to relieve poverty is not through the use of hypocritical bourgeois morality and sentimentalism, but rather by re-distributing wealth through a decent welfare system, backed-up and supported by social housing and a fully free and functioning NHS.
Contemporary Christian monasticism is a middle class pursuit, designed primarily for the participation of the ‘White’ bourgeoisie (with the odd exception). As the church is a middle class entity that uncritically supports the suffering-inducing capitalist system, it likes to recruit its monks and nuns from the very class it represents.
The rightwing Christian, capitalist, gun-loving Republican George W Bush, in 2007, agreed to raise a fascistic statue in Washington, supposedly for the ‘Victims of Communism’. This has been part of a far-wider assault on post-Soviet Russia, and the continued attempt by the US to undermine and destroy Communist China.
In the meantime, the BBC, as part of the bourgeois media system, will continue in its mission to disinform the British working class, and prevent it from uniting in the name of its own class interests. The British working class should unite together and initiate its own Communist Revolution so the British people can share in the success of Scientific Socialism, and transform the BBC into the ‘Peoples’ Broadcasting Corporation’ (PBC), apologise to the peoples of Russia and China, and work for the positive establishment of Socialism throughout the world!
