The Worker, Scholar and Pesant!

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Completed Central Cadres Training School of WPK! (16.5.2024)

Noting that the structural characteristics of buildings were improved more rationally in keeping with the trend of modern education development and the pedagogical principles and the landscaping has been realized on a high level in conformity with the world standard, he said with pride that the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK is a perfect educational facility firmly ensuring the political principles, modernity and practicality and it created the highest standard for other educational institutions across the country.

Expressing expectation and belief that the school, wonderfully built as a political institution of the WPK representing the new era, would always remain faithful to its important and sacred mission of training the genuine backbone, the core Kimilsungists-Kimjongilists, and thus make a tangible contribution to strengthening and developing the WPK and its eternal prosperity, he gave instructions on making full preparations for its operation ahead of its opening ceremony and on organizing its inaugural ceremony in a great politically significant way.

Flora Botton (Mexico): Why Ancient & Modern China Should Be Understood as a Completed Whole! (2.10.2023)

Flora Botton: Mexico and China have established diplomatic relations for more than 50 years. I am happy to say that Mexico and China have a lot of communication in all aspects, whether it is economic relations, political relations, or academic relations. Exchange students, scholarship establishment, visiting scholars, travel, language learning… all kinds of communications.

In ancient times, “sinologists” were scholars who spread Chinese culture by learning and translating Chinese. They specialized in the study of traditional Chinese culture. And now the term is widely used for any scholar who studies China, even contemporary China.

Sutton: Visiting the Carshalton Water Tower! (24.9.2023)

As immense wealth was generated through the labour of the exploited masses (which involved the development of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) a privileged middle-class developed – particularly after the English Civil Wars of the 1640s. This development saw the successful transference of the control of the ‘means of production’ (and political power) from the Aristocracy (the upper-class) to the Bourgeoisie (the middle-class) and with it the unleashing of tremendous creative force (a process magnified enormously by the ‘discovery’ of the Americas and the effective stealing of immense tracts of ‘free’ land and other resources)! Of course, the spread of British power and influence throughout other countries of the world – including Africa and Asia – opened all kinds of diverse markets which spread commodities to the four corners of the earth!

Emails: St Kilda – Ancients British Celts, WWI, WWII, Human and Animal Tragedy! (17.9.2023)

Research suggests these people had lived on this isolated island for around 2000 years – as they spoke a very old Gaelic language mixed with the odd word of Latin and Norse! The island was attacked once by an Imperial German U-boat during Spring 1918 (which fired 60 artillery rounds at a British Telegraph Station) near the end of WWI. During WWII, after all the indigenous Celts had gone – my maternal grandfather – Arthur Gibson – (when serving in the Royal Navy on the Minesweeper – HMS Beaumaris Castle) was ordered onto the island of St Kilda (Hirta) after an aeroplane full of US Servicemen (who were returning home after fighting in Europe) -crashed into the high mountainside with no survivors.

The Case for Karl Marx NOT Being an Ethnic Jew! (2.7.2023)

His mother was the daughter of a Prussian (Christian) aristocrat. Marx would have experienced Judaism very much in the same objective manner that most non-Jews do – through the pages of academic books and perhaps the odd site-seeing tour. Indeed, Marx even penned an article addressing the so-called ‘Jewish Question’ – where he treats the presence (and activities) of Jews with an alarming frankness. This has led a number of commentators to treat Marx in something of a unique way, as he is simultaneously accused of being a Jew on the one-hand, and acting in an anti-Semitic (Secular) manner on the other!

Deconstructing Anatole A. Klyosov – A Good Soviet Mind Regressed by Predatory Capitalism! (10.6.2023) 

Anatole A. Klyosov (Анато́лий Алексе́евич Клёсов) was born on November 20th, 1946 – just over a year after the mighty Soviet victory over Adolf Hitler in the war mentioned above! He would have been 7-years old when Joseph Stalin died (in 1953) – and 10-years old When Khrushchev manoeuvred his way into power in 1956. Anatole A. Klyosov, however, would grow-up in the Socialist (Soviet) System and become a renowned biochemist. All his work up to 1991 was outstanding, remarkable and praiseworthy. Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the US flooded the post-Soviet space with far-right ideology and the most intense (and stupid) religiosity. This was designed to break up the Soviet notions of class unity, solidarity and internationalism! These attributes had to be replaced with individualism, selfishness, racism and nationalism! After 1991, Anatole A. Klyosov travelled to the US and was acquainted with ‘White’ racist notions that privilege the European ethnicity. His ‘White’ American friends introduced him to the chaos and injustice of US society and explained to him that the reason non-White people behave the way they do is NOT because of the historical, cultural or political injustices they have been subjected to over centuries – but rather because of their deficient genetic heritage (pseudo-science)! This observation is important for what is to come next.
