Xinhua Commentary: US Makes Mocks Democracy and the ‘Voice of the People’! (30.3.2023)

30/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The Brookings Institution concluded in a 2022 report that the once proud American democracy is facing a systemic crisis and is accelerating its decline. The impact is spreading to all fronts in domestic politics, the economy and society, posing a mortal threat to the legitimacy and health of capitalism.

In addition, the U.S. elections are actually the “game of the rich.” This was vividly illustrated by the 2022 midterm elections, which had a price tag of more than 16.7 billion U.S. dollars, breaking the 2018 record of 14 billion dollars, as found by Reveal, an online platform tracking the flow of political donations in the country.

The nature of American politics has become increasingly apparent as money-driven, with power being concentrated among the wealthy and politicians serving their own interests.

The proverbial phrase “All roads lead to Rome” reminds us that every country has the right to chart its own course. Unfortunately, the United States has often caused tragic outcomes by attempting to impose its own form of democracy on other nations.

The American style of democracy has not only been seriously questioned domestically but also gained notoriety overseas, and the second “Summit for Democracy” is just another U.S. tool to maintain its hegemony.

China: Manor-Turned Museum Tells Changes of Life in Tibet! (29.3.2023)

29/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Tibet is the first provincial-level region in China to provide 15 years of publicly funded education, from kindergarten all the way up to senior high school. By contrast, there was not a single proper school, and the illiteracy rate among young people exceeded 95 percent in old Tibet.

The changes in Tibet are a vivid epitome of China’s reform and development. Chinese modernization is the only correct choice for building a strong country and advancing national rejuvenation, said Yan Jinhai, head of the regional government, in a speech marking the historical movement that ended serfdom in Tibet 64 years ago.

In the past 10 years, Yan said, Tibet has achieved high-quality development, maintained rapid economic growth, and heavily invested in education, medical care, culture, housing, employment, and social security. Tibet has shaken off absolute poverty and kept on pace with the whole country in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

“My wish now is to live longer and enjoy the life I currently have,” Norbu Tsering said. (Video reporters: Cao Bin, Tenzing Nima Qadhup, Sun Fei; video editors: Miao Zhuang, Mu Xuyao, Hong Yan)

China Issues Report on U.S. Human Rights Violations in 2022! (28.3.2023)

28/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Overseas military operations have caused humanitarian catastrophes. On Dec. 20, 2022, non-profit U.S. media outlet Common Dreams pointed out in an article titled “Warren, Jacobs Accuse Pentagon of Vastly Undercounting Civilians Killed by US Military” that according to data from the UK-based monitor group Airwars, U.S. airstrikes alone have killed as many as 48,000 civilians in nearly 100,000 bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen since 2001. According to data released by the Costs of War project at Brown University, since the 21st century, the U.S. government undertook what it labeled “counterterrorism” activities in 85 countries, directly killing at least 929,000 people and displacing 38 million people. And the U.S. military operations around the world have violated freedom and human rights of people in the United States and other countries. A woman and two children were killed in U.S. drone strikes in the Al-Hadba area of Al-Wadi, Yemen, on Nov. 30, 2022. “… the violence that characterizes the modern United States at home and in its conduct overseas — from the prevalence of gun — related deaths to the controversies over preemptive military action and drone strikes.”

Cracker: The ‘Fake’ Left and Its Betrayal of the White Working-Class! (4.2.2023)

04/02/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Marxist-Leninism emphasises the correct dialectical assessment of material conditions. This is because the workers are the product (mind and body) of their material environments. Only by ascertaining the conditions of reality can a scientific basis be developed for a worker-friendly reconstruction of existence. Without this ability – there is NO ‘Scientific Socialism’! As a rule, Marxist-Leninism rejects Anarchist violence and any form of opportunistic terrorism, as these isolated acts ultimately achieve very little (other than pointlessly killing the innocent and equally oppressed) and end-up with the ruling classes blaming the working-class and taking punitive measures against it! On the other hand, the ‘positive’ discrimination hypocritically employed by the Bourgeois State to favour minority or under-privileged groups often drives continuously ‘oppressed’ White working-class males into the grip of the far-right – through a ‘I told you so’ mentality! We are all victims of predatory capitalism because we are all members of the same working-class it ruthlessly exploits! The Bourgeoisie tries to separate us into disunited and pointlessly competing special interest groups – all antagonistic to one another’s wants and needs! This is exactly the ‘LYING’ that Hitler encouraged which fuels the far-right and is now justifying the US-derived Neo-Nazism in the Ukraine!

Lenin: Conversation with Clara Zetkin (1920) – Her Recollections! (31.12.2022)

31/12/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

Clara Zetkin was sent by Rosa Luxemburg to set Lenin straight over issues of the rights of women – and the direction and tone of the Revolution in general! Rosa Luxemburg – like many adherents of the failed Second International – disagreed with Lenin and his ‘Third International and suggested the Revolutionary Movement should cooperate with the existing Bourgeois status quo to a greater extent, and back away from the idea of ‘overthrowing’ the capitalist system! In this regard, and when taking these attitudes into account, Rosa Luxemburg sailed very close to the Trotskyite position of collaboration with reaction. Indeed, she would eventually be murdered by one of her former students – a tragic end that reveals the limitations of her attitudes. Below is an English translation of a text originally written in the German language by Clara Zetkin recalling her memories of a number of discussions, she had with Lenin during late 1920 in Moscow as the Russian Civil War was still raging and Lenin (and the Communist Party) were planning the forming of large federal Socialist State as a means to generating the conditions for a better form of military self-defence from attack by the capitalist world. During early 1918, Revolutionary Russia had been invaded by Imperial Germany and six of her Allies, and by the UK, US and twelve of their Allies! This war would last from 1918-1921 and cost the Russian people 10.5 million casualties! Imperial Japan would only abandon Vladivostok during October 1922 – just before the forming of the ‘Union of Soviet Socialist Republics’ (USSR) on December 30th, 1922! Meanwhile, far from telling Lenin what to do or think, Clara Zetkin found herself converted by his intelligence and insight and returned to Germany informing all and sundry that Lenin was right, and that Rosa Luxemburg should listen and learn from Lenin! Marxist-Leninist ‘Feminism’ is the only truly ‘Revolutionary’ path for women and is very different to the ‘Bourgeois’ mock-feminism that abounds today! For women to be truly ‘free’ – predatory capitalism must be overthrown completely and there can be no compromise whatsoever on this point! Anyone woman that compromises with capitalism is a traitor to the Revolutionary cause!

NHS: UK MidWives Fail to Support Strike Action!

15/12/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

This result allows the Tory government to carrying-on its privatisation plan and implement a US-style insurance healthcare scheme that only cares for the rich and punishes the poor and disabled for being ill! Sad news! What follows is the standard email sent to all Union Members of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) explaining this tragic result. Remember the Tories clapping, cheering and stamping their feet after the UK Parliament voted down a 1% payrise after thousands of frontline NHS Staff had died fighting Covid-19 – because the same Tory government had refused to provide effective PPE. Gee survived because our Comrades in the Communist Party of China – when they heard about how the Tory Party was killing its own NHS Staff – felt compelled to send us a free supply of face masks for Gee to wear at work!
