LGBTQ-promotion is constantly derided as 'leftist' nonsense in the west.  Firstly, let me make this clear.  I'm alright with people being lgbtq, but against its normalisation and promotion.  We can have all our fetishes, but demanding that it be represented in the media as normal to the point of promoting it, that's where I draw the line.  We need to retain our right to question our impulses, not normalise them just because we've turned 18.  Promoting the LGBTQ's agenda is the promotion of 'don't think, just do it'.  Well mate, regarding the idea of the 'Left' being pro-LGBTQ, I'm getting sick and tired of being the only one i've encountered with some objective and adult commonsense. A lright, let me make this clear and simple. Pay attention. Oi! I said pay attention. 1. It is the Right that produced this homosexual/transgender/lgbtqxyz epidemic. Why? Because within the capitalist system, all religion, spirituality, meaningful purs...

We need to distinguish between EuroSocialism and Socialism. In Eurosocialism, there is an avowed belief that culture is formed by economic development.  And hence, they attempt to take control of human evolution through control of the economic milieu. Whilst that is in part true, we have to realise that culture is not thoroughly formed in the west as it might in other parts of the world like India and China. European socialism is more 'technical'.  It deals with the body, not the mind or spirit. In these parts, culture, rather than 'being formed' by economic development, can instead be used to interpret economic development or even challenge it, like Buddhism did more than 2000 years ago in the face of the growth of the capitalist tendency in parts of India, or Sannyasins (wandering ascetics) did in the past, and to a smaller degree, in the present. One could even state plausibly that Buddhism was the world's first Socialist movement. Even Japan had to get rid of B...

An increasingly vocal men's movement argues that anti-male discrimination is rife. Who are the activists and what do they want? Feminists have spent decades trying to get equal pay and rights for women. But while, in the West at least, discrimination against women is rigorously challenged, a growing band of men's rights activists say no such protection is afforded to men. Many of these activists also believe that the media allow women to objectify and ridicule men in a way that would be unthinkable if the gender roles were reversed. - bbc When equality is sought within a system that thrives on inequality (capitalism), what this quest for equality evolves into is reverse domination, not equality.  The system does not enable the articulation of impulses for equality into equality itself as that contradicts the hierarchical and exploitative structure of said system.  Hence, the feminist movement, unwittingly, became a movement that ended up doing unto men that which men had done...

“As far back as the 1800s, single mothers were receiving benefits. At that time, they would be paid up front and in cash, but were they better off than today? It's a perennial issue every government has to grapple with, whatever its political persuasion. Is the welfare system too generous? The Welfare Reform Bill, currently going through parliament, is this government's attempt to introduce what it says is "a simpler and fairer" system. But proposed cuts will hit the poor hardest, argue opponents.” - bbc “Can a welfare system be too generous”?  Yes.  If the amount that is given out means that the amount that is held back isn’t enough to produce enough to satisfy the people’s needs. welfare = ‘far more than is required for sustenance, and enough to ensure that others are deprived, and enough to enable one to subjugate and exploit the rest.' But when the question is asked within a capitalist scheme of things, and especially when it is taken as a divinely mandated ...

Cameron says, "It is not a cover for anything. I was talking about the Big Society and encouraging volunteering, encouraging social enterprises, voluntary groups to do more to make our society stronger, I was talking about that way before we had a problem with cuts and deficits and all the rest of it." Also announcing plans to use dormant bank accounts to fund projects, Mr Cameron said the concept would be a "big advance for people power".... "There are the things you do because it's your passion," he said. "Things that fire you up in the morning, that drive you, that you truly believe will make a real difference to the country you love, and my great passion is building the big society.... These schemes and others in the future, he said, would represent "the biggest, most dramatic redistribution of power from elites in Whitehall to the man and woman on the street".". source: Independent , BBC Ed says, I’ve often found that capitalis...

I read a most insightful article by the Third Estate a short while back that observed that the reason why there is little distinction between the right and left with regards to the top 3 parties is that they are so accustomed to pandering to the demands of the public that their ideological compass reflects experiences reminiscent of that which might be experienced in the Bermuda Triangle. But what’s left unanswered is why said pandering to the demands of the public tends to see a swing of the entire spectrum of the left and right to the right? Well, that’s for another observation, but in my waking moments this morning, I thought that a good strategy to swing them to the right, and the people along with it, would be to infiltrate the left with right-wingers who would then take the party right enough to make the right more palatable. A conspiracy? Or perhaps a sign of times gone right given the masses being increasingly customised for life within a capitalist milieu where both left a...

What a myth - this view amongst some that to be a communist is to support the violent overthrow of a government. This seems to be assumed to be one of the articles of faith amongst communists that leads to the demonisation of communists and communism, and socialism itself. In reality, communists have been divided on this subject for quite a while. Some do believe in violent revolution, whilst others believe in bringing it about through the democratic process. Communist, in other words, is not synonymous with some shady individual in a Mao cap garnished with a singular red star lurking with violent intent behind some bush a stone’s throw from parliament. I, for one, have met quite a few communists here in the UK whom seem more inclined to sing Kumbaya around the campfire and would definitely shudder at the thought of brandishing a pistol to usher in a red dawn. This demonisation, in some parts of the world, has led to the distancing between oppositional movements from the socialis...

Let’s get one thing clear about the ‘left’. They aren’t. There are, generally, two forces determining the relativity of the ‘left’. One, the contemporary position of the ‘right’, and, Two, the overarching geopolitical framework wherein it does its very best to carry on whatever traditions that it is allowed to by the ‘right’. It is in this sense that the ‘left’ can, generally, be referred to as the ‘relative left’. * For all those whom are critical of the ‘left’, remember this, the ‘rights’ that you support is one of the achievements of the ‘left’. Wresting power from the patricians, the monarchy, the colonialists, the neither ‘Holy’ nor ‘Roman’ empire, the Act of Supremacy, the Magna Carta, the ousting of British colonial pirates, women's rights, racial equality, et cetera, were left in spirit, but right in perspective. What I mean by ‘right in perspective’ is that whenever power is usurped from the last tyrant-that-be, the principle of relative relief [author’s term], amongst oth...
