The International Military Tribunal for the Prosecution and Punishment of Major War Criminals from the European Axis States (the Nuremberg Trials) found the leaders of the Nazi regime guilty of crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, among others. The acts of expulsion and extermination of the civilian population of the USSR by the Nazis and their accomplices, as established by the verdict of the Nuremberg Trials, must be considered genocide against the Soviet peoples.
How sad it is to see a “capitalist” Russia fighting a proxy war with the US in Ukraine – whilst attending cordial meetings with the current leader of that ogre – Donald Trump – pretending there’s no connection between the US and Neo-Nazi weaponry that is killing Russian soldiers and murdering Russian civilians. It is also disturbing to see Russia cosying-up to Zionist Israel – the high-level diplomatic meetings of which are being trumpeted across Russian-language media as being of a very “great success” – at exactly the same time as Russia removes the “Taliban” off the Terrorist List! What a long way we have come from the mighty (Soviet) Red Army entering Afghanistan in support of the democratically elected “Socialist” government chosen by the most progressive element of Afghan society! The US (in fact its CIA Operative – Osama Bin Laden) founded the “Islamo-Fascist” movement then termed the “Mujahadeen” – and now referred to by hundreds of splinter names – “ISIS”, “Al Qaeda”, “ISIL”, and the “Taliban” being just a few. Is Russia collaborating with the US – trading its own integrity for land in Ukraine? I remember the photographs of the heads of murdered Soviet soldiers which had to be “stitched” back on to the necks they had been severed from before being delivered back to their families – simply because they refused to “revert” to Islam whilst held prisoner in Afghanistan between 1979-1989. After-all, like Soviet Socialism – it is all in the past.
For instance, above is an example amongst many. The interviewee clearly states that historical “rising costs” is the problem (caused by Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump II) – with the BBC journalist (or Editor) inserting the usual “NI rise” clause into the story – to fool the general public that price rises are caused by the mechanism that is designed to redistribute wealth and prevent price-rises. In this regard, the BBC is aligning its reporting with the rightwing media. The BBC was just as rabid when it fought to bring down Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown (2008-2010) calling him a “Communist” when he brought in a “Free Bus-Pass” for the elderly – and when the BBC fought to prevent the leftwing Labour leader – Jeremy Corbyn (2016-2019) becoming Prime Minister on the false grounds that his support for Palestine was “anti-Semitic” and that a purely Socialist NHS could no longer be afforded because of “migrants” (but obviously not Neo-Nazi Ukrainians). A letter penned by leftwing British Jews “supporting” Jeremy Corbyn was published on the Guardian website – and was taken-down after just one-hour following a telephone call from Tel Aviv to 10 Downing Street.
Everything is directed toward the sustaining and strengthening the selfish individualism of predatory capitalism – whilst perfecting the avoidance and suppression of the collective selflessness that represents Socialism. As the current Labour Party takes away our jobs, homes, welfare, medical care, elderly care, culture, identity, and education – we are brainwashed to think that our suffering is in fact our “HAPPINESS” – and if we dare to rebel, to defy our own demise, then a Judge will imprison us for carrying a Red Flag in public, or standing in a street during a process. A land fit for heroes indeed!
However, Biden’s policy has back-fired as the poverty and suffering did not remain only in Europe but has spread to the US – whilst the intended victim – Russia – simply redirected its economic alliances elsewhere, with its economy now booming. Russia has basically reinvigorated its old Soviet alliances – despite rejecting them after 1991. Russia has also cosied-up to China. The problem the US has – is that it has nowhere to go – except down. There are no alternative alliances – it is domination or collapse. Trump’s tariffs are exactly the wrong policy as the US is losing dominance and other countries are following the example of Russia!
It is incredible to think that prior to 2010 in the UK – there had been no food-banks. The rolling back of Socialism on all fronts is creating intense poverty – but chosen incoming groups (not all) are being perceived as receiving preferential treatment – leading to the strengthening of the far-right. The Labour government not only forcibly deported 600 Brazilians (I wasn’t even aware Brazilians lived here as incomers – with some reports stating the number returned to Brazil could be as high as 10,000) but removed (cancelled) the British citizenship of the children born in the UK – so that they could all be deported as families! This is how Kier Starmer dealt with the problem of what the far-right terms “anchor children” – or those children who gain British citizen by being born to incoming parents (not born in the UK). I suspect this is illegal – but it will probably take decades for this to be ruled as such – by which time nobody will be held accountable (like the illegal Iraq invasion of 2003).
