Karl Marx  20/05/13 ff.

Karl Marx was known in the 19^th century as the “workmen’s friend”.

Marx believed, after his Theses on Feuerbach of 1842-3, that a man is a product of nurture not nature. He was a materialist of the French school. France has thrown up many intellectual fads and the Germans have adopted a lot of them.

Marx was no friend of the poor. He lambasted those who sought a doctor’s certificate to get into the workhouse, a fate which befell many of the Irish poor in the 19^th century. He could well have benefited from a testimonium pauperitatas  himself given his destitution on arriving in London.

Marx spent a lot of his early life excoriating religion yet it is in religion that the spirit finds its highest consolation. Marx adopted the anti-Semitic views of his new found friends.

Marx considered while travelling in Germany from 1876 to 1878 marriage to a rich old widow who was probably a spy in the German Secret Service.

Marx in his early prose ridiculed the fashionable young, jeunes des gants jaunes, and adopted the staid dress of Freemasons.

More importantly, Marx plagiarised the Factory Inspectors Reports  in Capital. He copied large drafts of the reports of industrial poverty and disease to flesh out his meagre, lifeless prose. He was blind to the fact that these where the work of Liberals and social reformers who would later give birth to the Beveridge Report  and the British Welfare State. The inpectors were factory owners themselves and government officials.

Karl Marx glorified Prussia.He  and his colleague Engels  both took the side of Lutheran Prussia against Catholic Bavaria and Catholic Austria in the mid 1860s war.

Marx talked of capitalists being “hostile friends” (Capital)  but this ignores the reality of price fixing cartels,monopolies and trusts which had developed at every level before he died.

Marx rejected the overtures of a social democratic Crown Prince. He referred to him as Viereck (“Square”). In his famous  CircularLetter to Bracke,Liebknecht and Others (1875) he showed his true nature by excoriating those who accepted punishment as well as “those who desire to teach what they have not learned”.

Marx was easily manipulated by Stieber, the Prussian police lieutenant, Hinckeldey and Engels. He never never had a relationship with Friedrich Engels other than that of financial dependence .

Engels for his part ridiculed charity. Both decried the” pennies to the poor” practice which does more good today in every country than the best developed system of state welfare payments. In Germany 90% of people pay the 1% Church Tax although very few go to their churches regularly.

Marx in his early writings accused small shop keepers of “tyranny” while his family were fed and clothed by the goodwill of small shopkeepers who gave credit in Soho from 1848 to 1852.

Marx made some strange friends through his letters to The Times. These included the anti-Semite founders of the Social Democratic Federation, Hyndman, Bax and Morris and the Conservative MP Urquhart. Proof If proof were needed that when a devil goes out of a house it brings back seven worse devils than itself after travelling across dry, arid ground…

Marx complained about “generalized want”. However, this was in actual fact the reality of life in the Soviet Union under his diabolical disciples. Poverty is a permanent phenomenon of society.

Marx took great umbrage at “promoters”. He showed his anti modern nature by complaining about natural phenomena such as advertising which emerged in the 1840s.

His modern day followers should take note of his railing against homosexual prostitutes watching and besetting his Soho lodgings in 1852 (The Cologne Communist Trial)

In modern times his followers allude to Catholic believers as “trying to set me drunk” in reference to priests drinking blessed wine at Mass.

Stalin. His main apologist in the 20^th century was described as “a grey blur in the revolution” by independent critics and writers. His arch enemy Trotsky whom he had murdered was described as “the most capable man in the party” by the arch revolutionary and founder of the Russian Bolshevik Party, Lenin. The man described by Lenin as” the darling of the Party”, Bukharin, was murdered by Stalin in 1938.

Perestroika. Attempts  to renovate Stalinism with factory committees in the 1980s  ignored the fact that these committees were responsible for most of the deadly denunciations in1938 (Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago,1970).

Lenin once wrote “Karl Marx did not provide recipes for the revolutionary cake shops of the future”. Yet in Capital Marx wrote of the managerial class making capitalists irrelevant and providing the means of socialism.

Thus Marxist paradigm was used by Lenin after the 7^th of November 1917 to run the Russian economy on the model of nationalised trusts until April 1918 when it became clear that Russian exports were 0.5% of 1913 levels and the economy had collapsed, resulting in mass starvation.

 

Leninism (5/6/12 ff.)

Leninism (5/6/12 ff.)

It is said that Lenin adopted Marx’s economic theories and ignored his other theories on political freedoms. He founded a cult of (German) statism that still resonates to our day and opportunists spawned by his ideas and willing followers have developed a renewed grip on public debate and gained entry into parliaments.

Some interesting points about Lenin…

Lenin did not apparently favour abortion describing it as “a pity” but calling for freedom of medical propaganda in a screed for a Russian Marxist paper in 1913 in the context of the Stockholm Conference on prostitution. However he wrote "It only takes a spoonful of  tar to spoil a barrel of honey" as a fig-leaf to cover his own moral bankruptcy and refusal to honour natural law and as regards his wife's refusal to give him children,he averred towards the end of his life to "the dried-up virtue of a barren old maid". Satt!

Lenin characterised Lutheran religious in Germany as child molesters in the early years of the 20^th century.

These points are discovered by a thorough reading of his Collected Works, now a collector’s item.

Malinowski was an agent provocateur within the Bolshevik movement who was outed in 1913 to 1914. Lenin sympathetically portrayed all the endeavours of Malinowski in the Marxist revolutionary movement stating that he “brought thousands to Social Democracy”.

In 1919 Lenin had Patriarch Alexei murdered after taking him hostage in retaliation for the killing of rebels in Baku,Azerbaijan by the encroaching Tsarist forces. Thereby he opened the door to de-Christianisation.He ordered the murder of the Romanov family to prevent them becoming a  figure-head for restorationists.

The Bolshevik revolution is falsely claimed to have cost just two thousand lives. Modern estimates put the number of war dead, deportees and civilians who were arbitrarily murdered at fifty five millions.

The most interesting document which I read which confronts the prejudices of the Trotskyites of the Cliff-Gluckstein school is Can the Bolsheviks Retain State Power? from 1918 to 1919. In this pamphlet Lenin said that the revised plan of state capitalism was “a big improvement on what we have now”, namely nationalised trusts in each industrial sector. In this document he also declared that the dictatorship of the proletariat can be manifested in the dictatorship of one man. He thereby opened the door to the development of authoritarianism. This is ignored by contemporary extremists.

In he writings concerning the New Economic Policy, Lenin stated that a non party engineer could be paid sixteen times the wages of a skilled, competent worker in industry. Today the search for “specialists” in the Big Bad West yields a differential of 2:1.

It should be noted that before the democratic claims of Marxism were dispatched by Lenin that in the last free election before 1991 the Bolsheviks gained only one quarter of the vote in elections to the Constituent Assembly.

Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky-all ravenous wolfs disguised as sheep!

Some notes on Lenin.

He excorcated the grisettes but cosied up to Alexandra Kollontai “an ugly old boot” (Marx) who was in favour of abortion.

Lenin had many offhand quotes such as “What you must do, do quickly”.This is,on  the contrary, the opposite of what one should do and indicates that he could not cope with the police and criminal Panikmache in which he found himself. It led to his precipitous nature and lack of judgement which  was largely responsible for the economic crisis of 1918 when the economy collapsed.

Lenin’s concessions policy ( New Economic Policy).Only 2 ½ % on the yield on gold, diamonds and oil was returned to the government in return for a paupers’ broth and some food for the workers in the presence of agricultural hoarding.

It is ironic that a Marxist should write a pamphlet on The Importance of Gold as Lenin did in 1918.

The tax-in-kind for which Lenin was solely answerable, when revived in 1928, was responsible for the Ukrainian famine that cost twelve million lives.

The November 1918 dissolution of the Constituent Assembly brought a ragtag and bobtail assortment of malcontents to power.

Regarding Lenin’s canard about escamotage of 1913 how are Marxists to reconcile the theft of the idea’s of the German Social Catholic movement in the 19^th century with intellectual Monism ( Lenin, 1914).

One word that features in Lenin's writings from 1899 onwards is "satraps" and the more mature he grew,the more often the term appeared.

The writer in 1915-1916 gave himself over to a study of imperialism.

What inspired this prose other than Marx's writings of the 1850's on India and now we have a regression to barbarism with,in our times,these satraps or placemen,spies, politicians and businessmen in the pay of the American government.

A principal (6/2010)

A principal is someone who is responsible in civil law for the (un)authorised activities of his agents. He is usually a person of moderate views or someone with an interest in populist politics and public sobriety. Soldiers enlist the support of intelligent,capable and well-educated young men as principals to give them freedom from civil liability for killing and injuring and destroying. A principal who repudiates his agent or refuses to pay him his emolument (fee) for his actions is killed by his men. (A woman cannot be a principal, therefore). A principal is a mixture between an ideas man and a strong man. The principals are drawn from the extant nobility or the vanquished nobility of a republic. Unlike a monarchy a noble in a republic cannot be regarded as a fountain of justice (fons iustitiae)since republics are based on regicide.

Principals like the Mac Cearaills in Ireland were high kings of Oirghialla and Ireland according to myth and legend. The Irish monarchy ended with the abandonment of Tara in 567 AD. This followed the battle of  Drum Cait.

Coat-trailers.The Mac Cearaills have featured in English and American characterisations while being subjected simultaneously to ar.med attacks to keep them in line and petty harassment,not forgetting police and military attrition. The nomenclature of Irish patrimony are sought out as principals by republicans (res publicae, public affairs). The blood group of kings is A rhesus positive and this blood group is characterised by a calm, firm disposition which quickly turns to mercurial aggression when aroused. The blood group  in question is shared by the royalty of all countries including the English who emerged in Bohemia in the 8^th and 9^th century after Christ.

In Ireland the line of the Mac Cearaills dates form the coming of the Gael to Ireland in about 448 BC. This history is recorded with embellishment in the Book of Conquests (republished, 1978, Dutton, United States).

A principal is therefore a senior adviser,a headman.

In the teaching of the Church a juvenile principal comes to the use of reason at seven years of age and in King David's case,the age was fourteen years (1 Samuel).

English social imperialism (30/12/12)

Social imperialism was a term used by Lenin in 1916. His book of that year, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism merely threw out the term in connection with English dispatch of the English poor to the colonies relieve their poor health. That was at the instigation of Rhodes and involved assisted passage to South Africa.

Social imperialism, as meant in this article, is international aggression emanating from the labour movement of the dominant countries.

In the Observer of the 2 September 2012,the Anglican Archbishop of South Africa, Reverend Desmond Tutu, called for Blair to be indicted for crimes against humanity and brought, along with Bush, to the International War Crimes Court in The Hague.

I agree with this proposition.

In the North of Ireland,under the guise of peace,Blair launched his plan for "stopping violence", “de-escalating the conflict" and dealing with those who where at odds with the peace process.

The order for secret courts and extra-judicial executions came from the politician at the top.This war of attrition was a betrayal of trust and a grand,strategic deception.

The War against Iraq cost many more lives- over 135000- and fuelled terrorism. It destabilised the Middle East.

It was based on claims of weapons of mass destruction having been in the hands of Saddam Hussein, claims which the UN had demonstrably shown to be false before the war.

Blair says that Tutu’s statement is “nothing new and baseless”.

In Libya the Deal in the Desert with Gaddafi in 2005 led to the delivery of suspects to the torturers four days later.

There is no room for conspiracy theories here. The orders came from no one other than the leading English politician of the day. He was secretly intent on lulling the Libyans into a false sense of security prior to overthrowing the regime by open means.

One must conclude that the English Labour Party is a party of external aggression and domestic peace.

....

Update. 13/11/2019. A new broom sweeps clean. Jeremy Corbyn has condemned "ill-conceived and poorly prepared wars" .The raised voices of 500-600 million in 2003 have made it clear: No to war,Yes to peace.

Strict discipline in the Irish Church’s social action (2/2013)

The ugly face of liberalism has declaimed the Church as child molesters and thugs who operated laundries and industrial schools. An attempt is being made by the Irish Labour Party in the South of Ireland to drive the Church out of education which would be gravely detrimental to the education of workers'  children and the general quality of education.

Let us be clear.

The Church afforded sanctuary,comfort and solace to orphans and abandoned mothers in the Magdalene Laundries which where operated until 1992 in the South. 

Abuse has been greatly exaggerated.

In the era before social security payments became a legal right, strict discipline was required to prepare young Irish boys for a life as migrant labourers and tradesmen in England, Scotland, Australia and America.A ferocious religious and racist bias was directed at the Irish Catholics because of their religion and nationality in all these jurisdictions.

It would seem that the Christian Brothers and religious supervisors were often brutal but this was no less than the brutal, demented employers on whom their charges would be placed in a place of servitude, demanded.

Without a strict preparation for the world of work, Irish orphans would not have survived.

The Irish emigrants' world of the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s is not to be judged by contemporary standards. Ireland was wretchedly poor and its emigrants unwanted.

You won’t hear that on the BBC or RTE or other schmaltzy radio or TV news broadcasts or from a shoneen politician such as Mary Harney, Hugh Coveney, Leo Varadkar, Mervyn Taylor or Alan Shatter.

The motto of all right-thinking people in those situations? Spare the rod and spoil the child!

Two Dublin plagiarists (2011)

 

From 24 July 1991 to 22 December 1991 I endured  five months of sleep deprivation and a period of constant sensory deprivation at the hands of the authorities in Dublin.

 Beforehand I prepared the drafts of two books,one being Revolution in Ireland 1913-1923 and another being A History of the Irish Labour Party up to 1943. In the 1990s Kostick and Allen rewrote both of these books on the basis of stolen drafts on behalf of the Socialist Workers Party. These plagiarised books were published by Pluto Press and Manchester University Press. I did not give permission for my work to be stolen and received no reward for my intellectual labours.

 

In the early 1990s it was a familiar sight for me to see on South Great Georges Street in Dublin the "street scenes" arranged by the Socialist Workers Party in their roles of garda adjutants.

 I lived in dire poverty in Dublin and devoted my time in that city to the study of political economy and Irish history. I circularised over a hundred trade unionists,tenants groups,residents groups, community groups and unemployed groups with articles and schema. One of those, the Programme of Irish Socialists, later became the National Development Plan.

 I was not paid for my creative literary endeavours.

 

In July 1992 at the instigation of an Asian doctor, Dr Bindal,I was evicted from my humble abode by George Redmond, Dublin City Manager. He came into the possession of the drafts of my books.

My plans for a book on revolutionary politics in the early part of the 20^th century were fully mapped out with references based on careful study in the National Library. 

My draft for a book on the Irish Labour Party and the influence of Jim Larkin were also carefully annotated. 

Kostick stole much of the prepared script but failed to add any colour or descriptive prose. 

Allen’s book lacked shape after the period of 1943 at which point I was forced to break off my studies.

Both are nonentities and thieves of my carefully worked out drafts. These are the twin pillars of the Free State,fraud and deception.

The nature of left ginger groups and the Irish Labour Party has been reduced to a carefully-choreographed 'Ivana' set of clothes horses, those female ships in the night.

The PBP group is one ginger group with no substance. It will eventually be shot with its own dung as will the Socialist Party and Militant Left. Ginger groups are quickly taken over by police and military interests. Such groups exist only in still life devoid of connection to real people. They are full of pontificating bores and ballot-stuffers such as Blackwood. Blackguards such as Mc Dowell deny party members a ballot. 

The Irish Labour Party is a ginger group today. 

Ginger groups take their cue from gangsters in tiny secretive organisations such as the Irish Secret Service, 'professional' women,careerists and the idiot  living in a £16 million pounds stack of dried-out bricks on Dun Laoghaire Pier.

Such people leave behind them only used condoms and plagiarised literature. Like all Garda,political and business exploiters and pedantic nuisances,they have been entrapped in set-ups.

Humanists without humanity. The United Left Alliance and Sinn Fein. 5/7/2012

Marxism and its concomitant, fascism, are on the rise again. A new scourge is sweeping Europe. 

These people’s attitude is anti life. 

They are humanists without humanity.( I must confess to a personal interest since I counted myself amongst their number for ten years).

Firstly, my mea culpa. As a delegate to the 1995 Socialist Workers Party conference I advocated a written programme including contraception, abortion and divorce. I hoped that such a ‘bold’ initiative would win support from the female core of the group for nationalized properly. 

 Thankfully, no such manifesto was adopted.

 Later, the General Secretary of the SWP, Brid Smith, solicited a donation for an abortion for a Donegal woman.

 No money was advanced or support given.

 Today the United Left Alliance is calling for abortion on demand and an end to the Dail prayer. 

This female hen party advocates the ending of the broadcast of Mass in Catholic hospitals. 

Catholicism has been historically discriminated against and Catholics were reduced to “hewers of wood and drawers of water” by atheists and bigots. Such agitation ignores the facts that the Catholic Church solicitted donations for church schools and hospitals on a purely voluntary basis. Smith's agitation wants statues and crucifixes removed from schools. Chaplaincy services to hospitals and schools have also been attacked by these Trotskyites. The contraceptive mentality prevails. Their fruit is how they are known. They produce dysfunctional families.

Socialist unity. In late 2002 I broached the idea of a Socialist Alliance between the Socialist Party and the Socialist Workers Party in writing. 

Some time later the idea was taken up by both parties to maximise media impact. Five representatives were elected to the Dail on this ticket.

Behind the rhetoric

Behind the display of charm and empathy, the tactics of side lining, conspiracy, discrediting and slander pervade both Sinn Fein and the ULA . Ideas are stolen to be fleshed out into books and election manifestos by those driven towards their personal prestige, power, and revenues.

“What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine's me own” . 

Along with these traits goes suppression of dissent and censorship by National Executives.

Bankruptcy economics. 

In total, the mantra of not paying debts and not making ends meet would lead to bankruptcy.

......

Trade unionism,does it lead to revolution?

Trade unionism does not, it must be said emphatically, lead to Marxist dictatorships of the proletariat. Trade unionism enhances predictability in social outcomes. A trade union leader sifts out agitators who object to market and social stability. 

Trade unionism is about fair remuneration for work preformed. The industrious worker should not be confined like a battery hen in concrete high rises, suffer inferior education and be denied the right to better himself and his children.

Responsible governance

When the Marxist schema for turning trade unionists into fighting class warriors is discounted, the listener is left with an attack on political stability and the chaos theory.

Lenin was in 1918 to 1919 in the Soviet Union forced to fall back on experienced officers and skilled engineers. The Bolsheviks awarded the latter unprecedented privileges to keep society from disintegrating.

The revolution in permanence

Permanent structural instability and the attendant descent into chaos!

"The people who you are mixing with regard you as too old to change your ways and particularly resent your support for reforms. They are what is known as Marxist irredentists or bitter sectarians and they intend to go over your head to recruit, particularly the little dwarf who is in charge not Kieran Allen. Brid Smith backs him to the hilt and regards you as a pest and the rest of them regard you as a nuisance. Kieran Allen is on the record in describing you as an old woman. He has read Lenin too but only the writings from his final years. He's in touch with Sean Lynch,the tinker from Donagh or up by Ballagh Cross. There are no decent people in the Knocks. All of those people have wives and homes and boyfriends and a lifestyle to maintain. They're not interested in you or safety at Quinns so ignore them and tell them you want no more old news or out-of-date newspapers. If they keep sending them to you,send them back to that woman Brid Smith. She's in charge of that end of things. They don't have ten genuine supporters and none of them work for a living at anything to do with their hands. Those people are not working class and are only hurlers on the ditch like Danny Coffey. Ignore them and go down to the Sinn Fein offices to welcome Sean Lynch home. He learned a lot in prison. You were one of the few people who stood by him. The rest of the Provos regarded him as if he was dead."
