When Blog “Censorship” is in the Air – We Fight Harder! (15.12.2023)

15/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

When we – the workers – break this chain of abuse, we rise-up and take direct action against those who harms us. Between these Revolutionary events, we make the best of it whilst having to live within predatory capitalism. For many, poverty, disability, and illness reduce us to mere automatons being at the mercy of those who do not care whether we live or die. For others, like myself, we use our minds and bodies within the existing legal framework to resist the excesses of capitalism and help those who are like us. This blog is purely educational and opposes class oppression. I hope others draw strength from these Proletariat words and take these leftwing (Communist) ideas into the material world – and effectively fight injustice. I make no secret that I am a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist – and admire hundreds of others such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Ho Chi Minh and General Giap! We must stand-up for the workers and advance with courage against the bullets of the Bourgeoisie. Do not be afraid. If and when they kill us – we are free from the suffering inflicted upon our minds and bodies!

Buddhism: The Marxist-Dhamma Interface! (14.12.2023)

14/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Although Buddhism is apolitical – in the rel world even an apolitical entity has a political function – even if that function involves the permanent position of ‘opposing’ any and all manifestations of human ignorance known as “political” structures! What are these structures? These unwanted structures are any manifestations premised upon greed, hatred, and delusion, and which function within the inverted world of dualistic being. Such constructs are inherently suffering producing and are not conducive to human happiness. This is why Buddhists strive to uproot greed, hatred, and delusion from their minds and bodies – and in so doing generate the conditions for a better outward world.

BBC Radio Drama (Progressive): “The Exorcism” [Broadcasted 28.12.1992] – By Don Taylor!

04/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The UK, until around the abolition of ‘free’ Universal Education in 1988 – had far more in common with the average Soviet Republic – than any Bourgeois (capitalist) State of anti-intellectual America! Even after 1988, the British Welfare State and National Health Service (until 2012) still made the UK a relatively “Socialist” bastion that stood in defiance of both US and EU neo-imperialist ideology! Thatcher destroyed the comprehensive Socialist fabric of the UK – and in 1992 – the after-birth that was “John Major” invited a US “expert” to the UK with the intention of ‘weening’ the British population off of Welfare and health (paid for by collective taxation) delivered ‘free’ at the point of use!

India: BJP-Inspired Hindu Priest Dies for His Beliefs! (20.11.2023)

20/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Whilst carrying what can only be described as two ‘ballast’ balls around his neck – this Hindu Priest decided to take-on the auspices of Western science – and ‘prove’ the ideas that underpin Western society to be ‘wrong’! Following an elaborate religious ceremony (involving the recitation of the Vedas) – designed to ‘lighten’ the Priest and allow him to levitate above the ground – the Priest resolutely stepped-out off the cliff only to discover that gravity took control of events – and devastating natural forces come into play!

Sutton: Visiting the Carshalton Water Tower! (24.9.2023)

24/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

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!

Ghana: President Urges UN to Consider Reparations for Slave Trade! (22.9.2023)

23/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

“Reparations must be paid for the slave trade,” Akufo-Addo said to an eruption of applause.

“No amount of money will ever make up for the horrors, but it would make the point that evil was perpetrated, that millions of productive Africans were snatched from the embrace of our continent, and put to work in the Americas and the Caribbean without compensation for their labor,” he said.

He also called for the illicit flow of funds from Africa to be returned to the continent.

While the current picture on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals “is not very bright,” Akufo-Addo expressed the hope that “it is within our capacity to turn things around.”

A good start would be to make the needed changes to the structures of the United Nations, “then we can rebuild trust and reignite global solidarity,” he said.
