The day before yesterday, the Palestinian champion – Ali Al-Saleh – managed to win the Professional World Kickboxing Gold at lightweight (WKU) for the third time in a row. The hero – Ali – raised the flag of Palestine in the coronation arena – affirming his affiliation and continuous love for Palestine! Al-Saleh traces his roots back to the village of Al-Khalisa in Northern Palestine!
Having assessed this difference over a number of days – I developed the dialectical understanding that whereas ‘The German Ideology’ was a free expression of the unhindered thought of Marx and Engels regarding their Scientific Socialist understanding (and an open attack upon the capitalist system) – his newspaper article (for which he was being ‘paid’) – had to conform to the general ideas that prevailed throughout the (Federalist) ‘Union’ of Northern States! Marx had to cleverly compromise by moulding his opinions into those acceptable to the thinking of those who were ‘paying’ him for his journalistic services! If he was writing for newspapers based in Charleston or Richmond (lying within the ‘Confederate’ Southern States) – then I think we would have seen Marx formulate a very different take on events (not only reflecting the views of his audience – but also a more specific statement of the dialectical reality of the time)! Whatever the case, The German Ideology was written by Marx and Engels in 1845 – some sixteen years BEFORE Marx penned his 1861 article – and yet it contains a much deeper and far more thorough understanding of the human condition and the concept and reality of ‘slavery’! This example demonstrates why the working-class must be literate – we must be able to read and write – and in so doing ‘educate’ our own way out of the quagmire of Bourgeois branwashing, disinformation and deliberate misrepresentation!
Hundreds of thousands of men volunteered for service in the Armies of the Confederate States of America (CSA). This included Black, Asian and Indian men, etc, as well as countless Whites. Of course, many foreign men slso volunteered. Out these, tens of thousands paid with their lives or were maimed and wounded. They fought for a genuine freedom that would have eventually benefitted everyone regardless of race! It is sad to see the racists steal their flag and misrepresent their cause!
Again, from my own experience and impression: the firepower of the AFU on all fronts has already been largely suppressed. The enemy is also experiencing “shell hunger” – because the ways of supplying AFU ammunition are also being fired upon! Therefore, Russian artillery firing into Neo-Nazi controlled areas is receiving less and less effective return fire. When the Neo-Nazis do manage to find some ammunition (and a battery to fire it from) – they often fire not at Russian positions – but at chaotically at civilians centres!
Perhaps the Neo-Nazis feel it is safer this way: it’s harder to quickly find and suppress their fire due to the senseless shelling they are deploying. This deranged thinking, however, fits-in with the task of all terrorists. They cannot win, so they simply kill whoever they can reach with whatever weaponry they possess. If America gives them long-range weapons – it will not help them turn the tide of the military operation – but makes it possible for them to kill more civilians at greater distances! That’s all. Thus, now Ukraine is a terrorist organization – and the United States is a State sponsoring terrorism.
All this “terrorist” (Neo-Nazi) activity deprives the so-called political leadership of Ukraine of the right to be treated as legitimate politicians and representatives of a Sovereign State. They are leaders of a terrorist organization who must be convicted for their crimes – or they can be liquidated – just as terrorists are liquidated.
When the Russian military warns that in the event of an escalation of terrorism – strikes will be carried out on decision-making centres in Kyiv – then perhaps, they are referring to an operation which eliminates the leaders of this criminal gang! That is the “President” all his “Advisers”, “Deputies” and “Ministers” who control the Kyiv regime for the West!
This is an ongoing and developing situation!
From the end of December, 2022, Private Soldiers, NCOs and Commissioned Officers fighting in the Russian Armed Forces (primarily at the ‘Front’ during the ‘Special Military Operation’ in Donbass) became ‘eligible’ to receive this distinction!
This decision was taken after considering how respected and popular the ‘Soviet Order of the Red Star’ had been throughout the Red Army, and the use of its symbolism suggests a firm historical link between the past and the present with regard to Russia’s eternal fight against fascism!
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!
