Deconstructing Dr Ramtanu Maitra’s Article – Should the UK Apologise to India? (6.10.2023)

The rhetoric of this article is not ‘Socialist’, but Indian ‘Nationalist’ along the lines of the BJP and such historical (anti-Soviet) Indian leaders as Chandra Bose (1897-1945). If the UK should ‘apologise’ to India, then India should apologise to the world (and its own suffering masses) for becoming ‘capitalist’ in 1947 (when the British Labour Party granted it ‘Independence’), whilst its politicians deliberated rejected the ‘Socialism’ the Indian people so desperately required, instead adopting a pro-Western and anti-Communist position in the world. Genuine Marxist-Leninists should be very careful before associating themselves with this type of Trotskyite (distorted) narrative. This article is neither ‘Marxist’ nor ‘Leninist’, but smirks of the very nationalistic racism it claims to be exposing and uprooting!

Global Cooling: How the BBC Manipulated Opinion in the 1970s

Prof. Brian J Ford states in a recent book that only 10% of the academic literature of the scientific community in the 1970s speculated about global cooling, (with this body of unconvincing work being viewed very much as ‘pseudo-science’), with 90% of the same literature providing concrete evidence of a rapid ‘global warming’ caused primarily through capitalist methods of (exploiting) and interacting with the environment!
