The Beatles: What John Lennon Never Quite Managed to ‘Imagine’! (17.4.2023) 

The difference is that whereas Marx and Engels stood by the message inherent within their Revolutionary work – The Beatles steadfastly ‘stood apart’ from the Revolutionary message that is at the heart of their music! The capitalist system brought them off – but that is the nature of the music business and the entire point of all its machinations! The music industry generates very good capitalists but generally very poor Revolutionaries! It is as if the music itself, that is the collaborative effort, transcended the individuality of the four men who comprised The Beatles – and the general (limiting) attitudes of EMI! The interesting point is that The Beatles music remains dialectically forceful despite Paul McCartney’s Knighthood and all the other nonsense the Bourgeois State has draped around the historical image of The Beatles! Whether The Beatles like it or not, the music they produced in search of profit possesses a quality that ‘pierces’ through the very same ‘search for profit’! The music is itself a form of Revolutionary ‘force’ that John Lennon never quite managed to comprehend. Imagine that!

Yellow Submarine: How the Beatles Invented Pyrhonesque Cartoons! (9.4,2023)  

As for its surface structure – I think that with the ‘Yellow Submarine’ we are seeing the essence of how the Monty Python team presented their ideas to the world! As Monty Python sketches are available all over the internet and streaming services – most people are better acquainted with this form of communication than they are with that seen in the ‘Yellow Submarine’! This tends to give the inverted notion that the Monty Python methodology came before the ‘Yellow Submarine’ – but we all know that this is not true! Just a quick perusal will demonstrate to the average viewer that Terry Gillian must have been inspired and motivated by The Beatles output and philosophical intent (which seems ‘Anarchic’ at this point and definitely ‘Existential’). The working-class norms that all four Beatles were brought up within are there – but so is the ‘freedom’ from this conditioning – and that’s all the ‘Yellow Submarine’ represents! The problem was the difficulty of psychologically conveying this ‘freedom’ whilst still being physically ‘stuck’ in exactly the material conditions assumed to have been thrown-off due to some type of superior insight! This is the ‘idealism’ of The Beatles! It was their millions of pounds which gave them an enhanced sense of ‘choice’ whilst living within a capitalist society. Immense wealth and success constituted the foundry within which the superstructure of the ‘Yellow Submarine’ was hammered out – whilst the imbibing of LSD was the bottle of Champaign (or non-descript ‘infrastructure’) that was smashed against its side – and which launched it into the stream of human consciousness! Do with it as you will.

Flag of the Northern Confederacy (1863-1865)

Is It Time for Donald Trump to Flee to Cuba? (5.4.2023) 

Many people attempting to escape US political persecution flee to Cuba! Indeed, this small ‘Socialist’ island situated adjacent to the US Mainland is one of the few places in the Western world that provides such a safe haven! Trump is undoubtedly being persecuted at this current time – to the same level that the America Bourgeois State usually oppresses its ordinary citizens – placing them in the one place where Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation does NOT legally run (and where modern ‘Slavery’ is openly practiced amongst the inmate population) – the highly lucrative (privatised) US Prison System! Is Trump heading to the very ‘legal’ slavery he fully endorsed, assisted and strengthened whilst he was ‘President’? Not to mention the endless line of ‘Federal’ inmates on Death Row that Trump had ‘rushed’ into their Sentences being carried-out at the sharp-end of a needle!

Trump’s TRUTH Social Platform! (23.4.2023)

Lunatics like Trump would quite happily nuclear-bomb Beijing if he thought he could get away with it. Where he differs from the US Establishment that created him, is that the American Bourgeoisie would like to preserve a trading status quo that it controls – keeping ‘direct’ military confrontation to a minimum – for now (a question of differing ‘styles’ whilst maintaining exactly the same ‘content’). Indirect military confrontation is another matter, as the US support for Neo-Nazism in the Ukraine is as much a proxy war against China as it is against Russia! And then there is the ‘porn star’ allegation – a rather pathetic attempt by the US Establishment at keeping a very popular Trump out of Office. If ‘morality’ really was an issue, most US Presidents would be languishing in prison for their ‘War Crimes’ and ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ – sharing cells with Israeli leaders and perpetuators! Barack Obama, of course, would be on ‘Death Row’ for his military and political support of a Neo-Nazi take-over of Ukraine in 2014 – overhrowing the left-leaning (and democratically elected) legitimate  government of Ukraine – and for leading Canada and the Ukraine not long after in ‘rejecting’ a UN Resolution designed to criminalise the ‘glorification’ of Neo-Nazism! All of a sudden, Trump paying a pornstar $130,000 for a sexual encounter seems positively ‘honest’ by comparison – particularly when said porn star looks very similar to Trump’s ex-wife!

Why ‘Fascism’ is Favoured by the Roman Catholic Church! (20.3.2023) 

Although a Socialist society fully empowers an individual to develop their thinking in a ‘free’ and ‘empowering’ environment – the Catholic Church complains that exactly the same ‘Socialist’ society is ‘oppressing’ religion because the Catholic Church is not permitted to harvest wealth from the people, steal land from the people, or artificially usurp political power from the people! In other words, although the freedoms earned by the people within a Socialist society conform in many ways to the ‘Private’ version of the Catholic Canon Law – exactly the same ‘freedoms’ contradict and violate the ‘Public’ version of the Catholic Canon Law! It is for this Catholic inconstancy of theological view (and temporal greed for political power) that the Catholic Church supported Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany (whilst being on very good terms with the Imperial Japanese) – and provided thousands of ‘Chaplains’ to accompany the ‘Catholic’ troops that were part of the Nazi German-led invasion of the USSR during 1941! These ‘Catholic’ troops were comprised of many hundreds of thousands of men and were spread across numerous participating nations including Hungary, Spain, Germany and Italy, etc! The Catholic Church supported this fascist invasion knowing full well that its purpose was ‘genocide’. The Nazi Germans (and their ‘Catholic’ allies) murdered around 41 nillion Soviet men, women and children, and after the war, the Vatican assisted thousands of Nazi War Criminals to escape Allied Justice! Such was (and remains) the power of the Public Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church.
