Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
Interestingly, the plastic model mimics the metal kits that used to arrive in the factories in Stalingrad to be constructed by the workers – which included Disabled people. Tank crews would often train on wooden models and wait by the factory doors for each new tank to appear. These brave men and women would then drive directly to the frontline to confront the Nazi Germans. We will paint these models and add scenery and Soviet Red Army soldiers.
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.
Of course, the modern world is a very different place to the ancient (feudal) world from which Confucius lived, but nevertheless, so much of modern Chinese culture is premised on just this type of social organisation and spiritual coordination. This is true even when gongfu Styles are accessed through “money” – rather than through “virtue”. This attitude of “Respect” and “Harmony” has permeated the culture of Korea, Japan, and Okinawa – with the latter once being a distant part of the Chinese Empire. By issuing his “Hamon” – Sensei Higaonna is proving that his Style of Goju Ryu Karate-Do is “Chinese” in origination – as indeed it is (premised upon the White Crane gongfu of Fujian province).
A post regarding the link between the farming environment, keep fit and Hakka martial arts. Of course, this is not ordinary keep fit – but body and mind conditioning linked to feudal and medieval warfare – primarily for self-defence as far as Hakka communities are concerned. The use of farming implements developed the strength of body and mind to fight-off oppression and tyranny throughout the ages! We develop the strength of the Bear and quiet endurance of the Ox!
A masterful exploration of how the spread of US hegemony and neo-imperialism seeps into, destroys and ultimately replaces the historical culture of (indigenous) British culture and identity. The agency for this explanation surrounds the UK publishing industry in the light of a hostile US take-over and its subversion due to the auspices of US anti-intellectualism and the triumph of superficial style over substance. The British Historian and author – Matthew Bradford – is replaced by the US-publishing construct of ‘Matt Brand’ – whose father was a “Shepherd who looked after sheep…” – whilst his mother was a “Māori Medicine Woman!”
Flora Botton: Mexico and China have established diplomatic relations for more than 50 years. I am happy to say that Mexico and China have a lot of communication in all aspects, whether it is economic relations, political relations, or academic relations. Exchange students, scholarship establishment, visiting scholars, travel, language learning… all kinds of communications.
In ancient times, “sinologists” were scholars who spread Chinese culture by learning and translating Chinese. They specialized in the study of traditional Chinese culture. And now the term is widely used for any scholar who studies China, even contemporary China.
