I love roses more than my country
Dandelions more than might or power
I prefer carnations to democracy
A poppy is better than righteous war
I love lilies more than liberation
Rhododendrons more than equality
I prefer daisies to the rights of nations
Tulips are better than fraternity
As long as the sun rises every morn
And every day a child is born
And leaves burst forth on plants and trees
And love's perfume floats on the breeze
And sun and rain bring forth the flower
All struggle wastes the fleeting hour
A bush, a plant, a flower, a tree
Like me, grows and dies, glad just to be.

To Go In or Not To Go In
I was wandering through the streets of old Lisbon down by the docks one day. Though many of the buildings had been renovated and their walls covered with brand new tiles that shone in the sun, there was one derelict old building that made me stop and think.
I hadn't been feeling too good for some while, and as I looked at the old battered door, as green and sickly as I felt, I sort of identified with it, hanging on its rusty hinges, and with the whole derelict structure behind it, as empty as I was, except for the ghosts of the past. I touched the door, ran my fingers over the rough broken paint, and a voice in my head was tempting me to step in, to give up my walk along the river's edge, just to go in and lie down amongst the debris and the rats, and give in.
The door was the door to my tomb.
My hand was on the handle when I noticed an election poster, stuck on the wall next to the door. 'PCP' it said, 'The Portuguese Communist Party - The Struggle Goes On!'
I snatched my hand away from thedoor handle.
'Too right, Comrade!' I said, 'The struggle goes on!'

Sir Oswald Corbyn - Told You So
What a joy it is to be proved right!
I've been saying for a while now that the Pseudo-Left has a serious problem with anti-semitism, and of course more and more of these repugnant racists are sure to be outed from the Greens, the Nationalists, the Labour Party, the Bureaucratic Bourgeois Left in general. Many Socialists are in denial, and cannot believe that their seeming allies are such scum, but alas it is true.
Anti-Semitism is in the DNA of the Pseudo-Left. These people are NOT Socialists. They hate ordinary people. If they could, they would disenfranchise ordinary people. They believe that they are 'educated' and that they know better than us.
In their crazy sick world the bureaucratic bourgeoisie is 'Left' and the working class is 'Right'
A Socialism without the working class, one that worships the power of the State, had a name in the Thirties. It was called Fascism.
Socialism sees the problems in the world by analysing power structures, systems of domination. By altering the system the Socialist believes that our happiness will be improved, and people who do wrong may then, perhaps, do right
A Pseudo-Leftist wants to maintain, indeed expand systems of domination. It can only invent conspiracy theories to explain their failures. The pseudo-Leftist has to invent the Other - the English, the Spanish State, these days Muslims too, and ever always the Jews.
Together they can unite in conformity and hate, resentful of all who manage to escape their drab servility.

Hooray for Religious Bigots
The other day I was given a religious leaflet which I actually read. Amongst many other things it mentioned homosexuality as a sin. I didn't know that it was still legal to express such a view. No doubt, before long, it will have been declared illegal by the heresy hunters. I was surprised, but also delighted too. How lovely, I thought, that someone still regards certain sorts of fun as being naughty.
For surely being naughty was a large point of dressing up as a member of the opposite or indulging in same sex love.
How can a Gay be gay if everything is permitted, and whatever you do there is no escape from dull conformity?
Its no longer possible to say that certain behaviours are undesirable. We must approve of everything.
People who have a moral code of any sort, not just sexual, are regarded as dinosaurs at best.
Yet a society defines itself by its ethics.
What the politically correct establishment is trying to do is to wipe out society. This is quite evident in Ireland and Scotland, and increasingly so in England. Although it is illegal to insult Islam, it is almost obligatory to insult Christianity, thus using the one to demolish the other.
The question is whether Islam will adapt itself to its totalitarian Saudi model and become the religion of the State, or whether, once the Christians are destroyed, it too will be abolished. My guess is the latter, as even totalitarian Islam has concepts of family and loyalties beyond the State.
A society without its own ethic, that believes that the ethics of other societies have equal validity is a dead society.
In such a society such people have no freedom. Every inch is colonized - food, drink, thought, speech, security guards, cameras, commissars, random trials, no presumption of innocence.
There is only one law - to obey.
Hooray for religious bigots! Hooray for people with their own point of view!

Feminism and Feminazism
What is the difference between Feminism and Feminazism?
Often we hear people claiming to be against feminism whereas they are in fact against feminazism.
I think of myself as a feminist. Why? I am a little sceptical about the alleged pay gap for one thing, and I believe that many, if not most women, are happier in a traditional family structure. Yet still I believe myself to be a Feminist.
A Feminist believes that in capitalist bureaucratic statist society a woman's contribution is devalued and that she is kept in tutelage to men. Her role is to be meek, obedient, submissive, pleasing and unagressive, a passive victim. Feminists believe that this must change.
Feminazis, on the other hand, believe that this must continue, that a woman must continue to be meek, obedient, submissive, pleasing and unagressive, and continue in tutelage, not to men, but to the State.
More specifically still, a Feminazi wishes to maintain the existing structures of Patriarchy through an ideology of biological determinism. If identity politics is the hallmark of Fascism, then biological determinism is the very foundation of Nazism.
Feminazis will tell you that men are more agressive, or more violent than women, and that this is due to something in their DNA or some chemical such as testosterone.
Apparently African American men have more testosterone than European American men.
So what conclusion are we to draw?

Seeds Of Dictatorship
Yesterday, when discussing a news item in a language class, I was told that I was talking rubbish. This is the second time this year that an ignoramus has insulted me in this way. I have also been told that I am prejudiced. Unfortunately such ignorance still shocks me and angers me, but I am having to get used to it. Usually, in each group there is at least one self appointed bigot who loudly proclaims the orthodoxy and who insults dissidents. And usually, when pressed to say why such an opinion is rubbish they refuse to do so. In this instance the young fanatic replied, after showing initial unwillingness. Apparently scientific research shows that men are more aggressive and violent than women. I replied that this was simply gender racism. The next step is claiming that the races are biologically different. Perhaps the Chinese have a cunning gene etc. etc.
He went on to tell me that poor people were more likely to be criminals, and poor men abusers of women and children. Class racism as well as gender racism!
And then we heard how backward peoples were more likely to be abusers than people in an advanced country like we are, here and now. Gosh, I thought, pure racism!
He went on to call for more social workers to 'help' the poor, which another young person endorsed fully.
I tried to explain that this would only lead to a police state. They seemed not to be concerned about the State monitoring our private lives, nor that alleged abusers should be presumed guilty.
And saddest of all the older people were either quietly supportive, or at least silent.
Do people really support the insanity of the orthodox ideology? Clearly some university indoctrinated idiots do. But the older people, can they not remember happier freer times? Do they too now believe the fantasy world of phantoms and witches? Or are they too scared to disagree.?
My humble opinion is that they lost the capacity for critical thought long ago. Not only do they take their cue from the media as to what they think, but what they should think about. Do they ever get tired off transgender folk and autistic spectrum disorders?
Meanwhile Rome burns.
