UK: Waitrose & Tom Boyd – A Working Example of Disability, Discrimination & the “Invalidation of the Worker”! (23.10.2025)

In a post on Facebook, she wrote: “Our hearts are broken and we need to share this..

“Our autistic son has been treated so unfairly, and we feel deeply let down.

“For over four years, he’s been doing work experience at Waitrose and Partners store in Cheadle Hulme.

“Every week, for two full mornings, he worked so hard – emptying four or more cages of stock, stacking shelves, and helping wherever he could.

“He loved it there. The shop staff were absolutely amazing with him and made him feel part of the team.

“Many of them would say things like, “You work harder than some people who are paid to work here.

“He gave over 600 hours of his time – purely because he wanted to belong, contribute, and make a difference.

“When we asked if there was any chance he could be offered just a few paid hours – not as charity, but as recognition for all the time, effort, and heart he’s given – we were shocked by how dismissive and cold the response was.

“The manager said, “We can’t just let him do his thing,” when that’s exactly what he’s been doing successfully for years.”

She continued: “After everything he’s done, there was no apology, no thanks, and no recognition for his commitment. Just silence.

Apply the Marxist Dialectic Correctly!

Stalin was a Great Working-Class Leader of Organic Communism! (20.8.2025)

Another tiger-trap is the “National Bolshevik” movement. To be clear, I am a Bolshevik (from the Chinese perspective) – but I am not a nationalist (Indeed, I am an “Internationalist” – a Maoist no less). The “Naz-Bol” movement evolved out of a fascist-infected (post-1991) Russia. This movement integrates Hitler’s ideology with a post-1945 US (Cold War) misidentification of Joseph Stalin. This flawed ideology misinforms that there is “no difference” between historical Hitler and a fictional Stalin. Well, 41 million dead and wounded Soviet citizens would beg to differ. Naz-Bols combine Marxist-Leninist economics with Hitler’s warped theories on race. This rejects the Marxist idea of “Internationalism”. On the face of it, these deluded individuals will talk highly of Stalin (as I do) – and then state he is no different to Hitler (which I definitely do not) – claiming both were ruthlessly racist (a complete lie – Stalin wasn’t even Russian).

I Will Keep An Eye on the Ideological Direction of the Palestinian Communist Party!

Palestinian Communist Party: Joint Statement of Communist and Workers’ Parties – Stop the “Genocide” in Gaza! (24.5.2025)

The dominant (dialectically distorted) Trotskyite view is that the “capitalist” nature of modern Russia supersedes the “Neo-Nazi” nature of modern (Catholic) Ukraine. This is because Leon Trotsky supported fascism and the Catholic Church (in 1938 he openly called upon his followers to support Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in any far-right attack upon the USSR) – with Trotskyite fighters opposing the Socialist (USSR-supported) side during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), etc. Personally, I think it is morally repugnant that Ukrainians be included on this list – but Russians excluded (exclude both or include both – not one over the other – although Russia does have precedence due to its anti-fascist war)). I think that in the future I will seriously reconsider whether I will share anything from the Communist Party of Palestine if this is its guiding ideology.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Steve Sweeney – UK Mainstream Media Using ‘Fascism-Denial’ and ‘Evidence-Free’ Reporting! (26.5.2023)

I suspect that millions of ordinary British people have it in their blood to oppose fascism (and Tory ‘lying’) – and remember with pride the stand our country made between 1939-1945 against Nazi Germany and the International Fascist Movement!! Millions of British will also remember that initially it was only the Soviet Union that came to our aid – and the aid of the Western world when we needed it the most! We must grant Russia (at the very least) a fair hearing! What is sad to see is that in just 32-years – all the good achieved through the 74-year existence of the USSR – was wiped-away through the auspices of predatory capitalism!

Our Family Soviet Flag!

The Sad Demise of the ‘CPGB’ – Or Why My Anachronism is Longer than Yours! (21.2.2023) 

My family are proud to be Soviets, British, Chinese and ‘Internationalist’! It is the ordinary downtrodden and oppressed people that constitute the rank-and-file membership of any Communist Party! We, the People, the Workers, are the raw material that comprises any ‘Red Army’ which exists to protect the masses and confront the barbarism and racism of fascism! This is our Red Flag at the top of this article – which I found on a Russian language page! We need a ‘new’ and genuinely ‘new’ Communist Party that rejects the cronyism that defines most of today’s poor excuses for collective action! Do not be afraid – stand up and be counted – you have nothing to lose but your chains!

JV Stalin: Reply to Ukrainian Comrades in the Rear and At the Front! Pravda 213 – 13.12.1917! (15.1.2023)

I think that there are some similar sets which include books (or ‘texts’) after 1934 – but I do not possess any of these sets. I have always thought that JV Stalin’s leadership skills of the USSR 1936-1945 would be of the utmost interest for the working-class! From 1936-1939 the USSR coordinated the International Working-Class in its fight against the Catholic-backed ‘Fascist’ uprising in Spain! During the late 1930s the Soviet Red Army not only took on a ‘Fascist’ Finnish Army (an enemy encouraged by Hitler and the capitalist West) – and whilst doing this also inflicted consecutive military defeats upon some of the best Units the Imperial Japanese Army had to offer (during 1938 on the Manchurian-Korean border – and during 1939 on the Manchurian-Mongolian border). What follows, however, involves a report made by JV Stalin during December, 1917, when the Catholic Church (and capitalist West) was deliberately causing derision primarily throughout Western Ukraine – interpreting the presence of an ‘Internationalist’ Soviet Army (which included Ukrainian volunteers) as being merely a ‘Russian Army’ pursuing Bourgeois ‘Nationalist’ aims of conquering land and subjugating populations! As a text, it is like a script exactly describing what is happening in the Ukraine today! Of course, there is a ‘Russian Army’ today – but it is coming to the aid of those Ukrainians in the ‘East’ of that country who want nothing to do with the US-backed Neo-Nazi regime headquartered in the West of Ukraine!
