Russia: A Conundrum for Modern Religionists! (8.5.2022)

After the transition to capitalism in 1991, the standard of care throughout Russia dropped significantly, and the resurgence of religion opened-up the existing care-homes to exploitation by religious groups who offered to donate a chair or a table in return for general and unbridled access to the residents! It is common (on the modern Russian internet), for religious groups to link the economic deficiencies of the capitalist system to a general lack of belief in a sky-fairy (and the associated theology)! Such religionists insanely refer to the elderly residents as being ‘brought-up in a godless age’ and that this explains their ‘poverty’ and their habit of ‘sitting in the day-room and watching TV’! This is indicative of the evils associated with religion and exploitation such deluded systems inflict upon humanity in the name of a non-existent god-entity!  

I am Not a Fan of Russian Nationalism! (25.4.2022)

This creates the quandary in the Communist Movements of the West whereby we feel compelled to support Russia’s fight against Ukrainian fascism – but are ideologically opposed to Russia’s bourgeois system! For me, the situated is helped somewhat, in that I know what good work the Communist Parties of Russia, Lugansk and Donetsk are doing in this fight! This is the foundation from which I draw my ideological inspiration. We would all agree that ‘politicised’ and socially ’empowered’ religion is the problem and in no way is the solution!

Orthodoxy and Ukraine! (19.4.2022)

This autocephalous, US backed Ukrainian church has become the de facto church of the Ukrainian state and it should come as no surprise that it has been showing its fascist credentials from the very beginning.  Churches have been confiscated from the legitimate church, ‘priests’ have led their support to the Nazi regiments, real worshippers intimidated (intimidation assisted by Eastern Rite Catholics), churches firebombed, clergy threatened (faeces thrown through the window of a priest’s house is a lovely Nazi touch). It has been spectacularly unsuccessful at recruiting people away from the canonical church, though there has been some success in the West of the country.  This US backed church is big on ecumenicism and works happily with the Catholics.  In the West it is viewed as legitimate by the ignorant and support for it is growing.  Sadly, the Patriarchate of Alexandria also caved in and recognised it.  This has led to massive problems throughout Africa with defections of clergy from Alexandria to Moscow (the only other patriarchate in the area) by priests who refuse to recognise the fascist church.  These priests are being fined and persecuted, but they know the truth.

Liberating Buddhapadipa Temple! (10.4.2022)

This means that incorrect assumptions are made premised upon false, incomplete and inaccurate information. Within Chinese Buddhism, the Buddha was born around 1029/28 BCE and died around 949/48 BCE. However, in Thailand this has all been reduced by around 500-years so that the Buddha is now assumed to have been born in 545 BCE and passed away in 465 BCE.
