Venezuela; “We Are the Sons of Bolivar!” (26.11.2025)

26/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Bolívar Lives! because everything bears his name and his strength, and in perfect popular-military-police fusion, we reaffirm that he is The Liberator of the 21st century.

If we have and inherit anything from the sun, it is that we are the sons and daughters of the “Liberators of the Peoples of the Sun.”

We are obliged to grow in this moment! There are no excuses for anyone, failure is forbidden! The Homeland demands our greatest effort and sacrifice, and if the Homeland demands, then it will have our lives, if necessary.

We took the oath of the Flag and the Sword of freedom and unity, for the Bolivarian perpetual Peace and in the name of God, Almighty Father, for the victory of Venezuela against the threats and aggressions of imperialism.

Market Overton: 17th Century Window! (6.11.2025)

06/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

What is now the dining area – where I set-up my study space – was probably once part of the garden. Therefore, the window itself was once considered the height of building technology. In those days, draughts from blowing winds were a major issue. The frame of this window is firmly embedded in the wall-structure so that no wind can penetrate. The cement and plaster hold it robustly in place – whilst its relatively small surface area allows for strength and stability. As glass was not as strong then as it is now – the panes of glass used were far-smaller – with each held in-place by its own frame. Furthermore, and a feature I like, is the central pane that possesses a stout hinging and opening and shutting mechanism. Even today – this design still retains much of its original strength – whilst being now inside the house means it is now better preserved.

Rutland: Standing To Attention Was Abit Different in the 1600s! (27.10.2025)

27/10/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

We are currently staying in a 17th century cottage in Market Overton. All the door-frames seem to be about 5’8″ high – if that. Blimey, if I volunteered for Cromwell’s forces, I would probably need a Shire Horse and a massive breast-plate! I am around 6’2″ tall and when I stand to attention – about a third of my head protrudes above and beyond the height of the average door-frame. I am always advising my two daughters to stand-up tall so that they grow to their full potential. Gee is 5’4″ tall – which is tall for a Chinese person who ancestors hail from South China.

Solidarity with Venezuela: Trump’s YouTube Banning Leads to Greater Sharing of Maduro Resistance! (27.9.2025)

27/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

We acquired a Venezuelan flag and a few badges out of solidarity. For our children, they are learning the concept of caring for – and standing with – others who live further away – and are suffering a greater tyranny from the capitalists than we currently are. Furthermore, timing is everything and at the moment the UK is not exactly aligned with the blatant illegality that is the Trump Administration. Therefore, at the moment we are “safe” from being attacked by our own government for being Socialist. Of course, things can change in a moment and our peaceful tactics will have to adjust. This must ability must be taught to the younger generation by those who have lived longer and gained the relevant experience. As a lineage – we pass it on. Everything is relative and until the working-class acquires power – we must learn to find what freedom we can within the oppression we are forced to exist. So be it – until there is no more oppression to keep us down.

Lenin: Adventurism [1914] – Perspectives on Political Violence! (11.9.2025)

11/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

If we, as workers, want to wrestle the control of the means of production from our oppressors, then we, as workers, must be worthy of the task. We must build-up the inner and outer strength which becomes so powerful – because it is right – that no resistance can overcome (or prevent) its success. Although there can always be exceptions to general rules – individualist acts of terror remain firmly within the realms of fascism and should be avoided at all costs. A criminal possess rights. They should be arrested, fairly held in custody, given a fair trial, and then either punished or released – depending upon the verdict of the jury. As workers, we can only exercise this type of judicial power if we work hard enough to earn it. We must find ways of overcoming our poverty and transcending the injustices we face on a daily basis – in a civilised and rarefied manner. Being oppressed is an occupational hazard – it need not define your sense of self-worth. As workers, we must be stronger than the suffering that capitalist market forces inflict upon our minds and bodies! As workers – we do not need to resort to venal terrorism!

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

20/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

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).
