Goodbye, and R.I.P. Fidel

Rest in peace Comandante Fidel, though you may be gone, the inspiration, and legacy you left behind won't disappear. Solidarity for you great comrade, and viva la Cuba!



Eulogy by Comrade J V Stalin:

We all are of course saddened by the death of comrade Fidel Castro. We as communists, can only hope that there are like minded people, in all positions in all sectors of their society to keep the revolution-evolution path to a communist system going,and they don't slip backwards into capitalist consumer,money and profit above all, driven society...and...that the evil empire US does not infiltrate and change their system .

The reason that I write today is,the above,but as well,I've been listening to and sickened by the capitalist mainstream media's coverage of this tragic,saddening event.

The MSM (mainstream media)...whom I loath, keeps going on about all the old lies concerning Cuba,you know, about the brutal dictatorship and deaths....and you know...all the BS. Not once do they mention that the entire founding of their country..the..US.. is soaked in blood and death and suffering and misery.

The indigenous people of North America have been put through Fascist, ethnic cleansing tactics, by imperialistic, money grubbing,power hungry forces that took over their lands and almost drove these people to extinction..... And they talk of Cuba!!!

Not to mention the slave trade,the barbarity of which is horrific,and the racism in the states that permeates their capitalist society is palpable.

The treatment and internment into camps, of Japanese Americans during WW-2,in the land of the free??? was heinous...particularly when the MSM keeps on spouting how "free and open to all" that their society supposedly is. And they talk of Cuba!!!!!

Not to mention the millions upon millions of deaths the US is responsible for(after the end of WW-2) both directly and indirectly through wars,and supporting brutal(usually fascist) puppet-surrogate regimes...right up to and including today!! And they talk of Cuba!!!!

And the deaths in their own country due to the proliferation,and easy access to guns in their corrupt morally bankrupt society(and the gun manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank) . In Chicago alone from the start of the New Year 2016 to..I believe it was September 2016,there were 3000 deaths by guns!!!!!!!!! It was some kind of record or something(they must be so proud). That is just ONE big city!!! The US is like a war zone!!! And they talk of Cuba!!!

Not to mention the statistics for suicide deaths with a gun or otherwise...all tied into the pharmaceutical industry pushing anti-depressants and mood altering LEGAL!! drugs...not to mention record numbers of abusers of alcohol.......and illegal drug abuse.....and the laughable inept useless "war on drugs" ...it would be a joke if not so tragic!!!! And they talk of Cuba!!!

POP Culture...there is another one designed to take the money and the minds of our youth...and take away any ability, for those who fall for this,.......of any type of critical thought,which of course is what the power brokers want,a pacified uninformed(or misinformed) youth and masses!!!! And they talk of Cuba!!!!

I did happen to see some truth,but it was short in duration. They went to a University in Cuba,and they interviewed some students,and all said that they were saddened by Fidel's death, and Fidel was like a father figure to them. They interviewed Eilian Gonzalez,who is now 22 years old. He had nothing but praise admiration and respect...and sadness on speaking of Fidel's death...Eilian said that "Fidel was like a Father to me,I and the country will miss him greatly"......But after that the media went back to the crazy's living in Miami to continue the bashing,and lies about Fidel and Cuba,and this reporting went on and on and on..add nausea!!!

No comrades by in large the biggest chunk of media time is doing the big sham job on the passing of Fidel Castro and all the great things the people under his and other great revolutionaries guidance, accomplished. It is shameful!!!! That a great leader is besmirched with lies such as they are doing to comrade Fidel Castro.

We must continue on the struggle comrades!!!!!

11.11 What was it all for?

98 years ago today, the war which became known as the Great War, First World War, or World War 1 ended. The bloodshed was on a scale previously inconceivable.  All the countries involved lost the best of their respective nations, and the damage is still felt through the lowering of the quality of the people.

The Ruling Class of Russia, France and Great Britain organised a fight against the Ruling Class of Germany and Austria-Hungary, with more countries joining in the fight, until it spread across Europe and into Asia and Africa, with combatants coming from Australasia and the Americas.  The Ruling Class dispute wasn't really a dispute between different Ruling Classes, but between different branches of the same Global Ruling Class.  As has long been the case, the organisers of the carnage did not themselves fight, but used the people under their control to fight as their proxies.

The rush to join the war saw the union of False Class Consciousness among the Middle Classes who thought that the fight of the Ruling Class was their fight, and the manipulated Jingoism of the Working Class who believed the lies of the media that the 'enemy' was evil, a danger to women and children at home, and that war had to be engaged in order to preserve peace.

The death toll in the First World War exceeded 16 million people -  9 million military personnel, 7 million civilians.  The number of people injured and incapacitated was far higher than the number killed.  The War was a tragedy for the ordinary people, but a 'great' war for the Ruling Class, the Banking and Armaments industries, and the Globalisers.

As ordinary people began to see beyond  the lies of the media to the reality that the War was a tool of the Ruling Class to consolidate control and cull the surplus population in order to keep Capitalism from collapsing, uprisings occurred in many countries, with Soviet Republics springing up in several countries, notably Germany, Hungary, Italy and Russia.  The Irish People rose up against the tyrants based in London and Dublin.  The British failed to rise up, demoralised and weakened, our people believed the lies that the War would lead to better conditions for the Working Class - in truth, the Middle Class returned to their loyalty to the Rulers, and the Working Class returned to poverty.

SWPE calls for the reality of War to be exposed: for the criminals of every war to be punished (Tony Blair, the leaders of NATO among many); for the profiteers who make money from death and from debt to be punished (Arms Dealers, Stock Brokers, Bankers); for the puppet politicians and the Heads of State who preside over Wars of Aggression to be punished; for the pro-War campaigners, the liberal elite, (the Stand By Aleppo activists, the pro-war media) to be punished.

Non-defensive non-territorial War is a tool of the Ruling Class and those who stand with them (regardless of whether motivated by greed, liberal stupidity, jingoism or false class consciousness).  It is used to boost profits, cull the population, and boost the control of the powers behind the public power.

We remember this day the civilians, the volunteers, the conscripts, the conscientious objectors, the dead, the wounded, the bereaved, the deceived.  Not just from the First World War, but from all wars including those waged right now including those which are not acknowledged as war.

The disgusting slaughter of our people and of people in other countries for economic and political gain, by an 'elite' which keeps itself safe at all times, is one of the reasons why we are politically active.  The enemy doesn't wear a foreign uniform - more often it wears the clothes of State and Commerce which we are all familiar with, and of the non-combatant cowardly hypocritical liberal idealist who believes that it is only 'right' that soldiers are sent to die in foreign countries to overturn governments they disagree with.  If we are to ever truly have peace, we have to deal with those who would have war - and we don't have to look beyond our own borders to find them.

Forward to a World of a Thousand Nations. Goodbye EU, USA, UK and all Superstates

The election of Donald Trump as President of the USA has reignited campaigns for secession from the USA.  With the vote by the UK to leave the EU, the Globalist project is proving to not be as strong as its opponents have feared.  Now is the time to join with all secessionists worldwide to fight for a better world with local sovereignty and an end to centralisation.

Local sovereignty is a safeguard for freedom.  The further power lies from the people, the less free they become.  This is why the UK voted to leave the EU, and why that process has to be continued with campaigns to dismantle the EU entirely so that no country is trapped inside the impersonal imperial superstate.  But this is only the start.  For the UK, the fight for freedom has to extend to the demise of the UK itself, with England becoming a self governing country comprised of smaller countries joined together in a federation of equals.  Ideally, SWPE would like to see the return of the nations that predate England - first as autonomous members of an English federation, but ultimately as Free Sovereign Nation States.


As Comrade Tony Green has pointed out, the USA is no longer the monolithic entity it once was. California, Texas, New Hampshire, Hawai'i and Vermont are at the forefront of the secessionist movements, but there are more besides these.(see: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/07/5-us-independence-movements-inspired-by-brexit-214010)

A Socialist world is a world without Empires.  It is a world of cooperation and respect, with clearly defined borders preventing the global exploitation of the Proletariat, with borders being for defence and demarcation of territory belonging to the respective people.  Superstates have no respect for culture, tradition, customs, language, morality, spiritualism, non-Capitalist economics, nature, human and animal welfare.  Borders defend all this and allow life to flourish.  A world without borders is a gift to the global Ruling Class.  A world with many, many borders, protects everyone everywhere from the greed of the few wherever it may arise.

SWPE Statement on US Presidential Election

SWPE is not pro-Trump, only anti-Clinton.  We welcome the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the USA, solely because it means that George Soros Hillary Clinton has not been elected.

Clinton is a cold blooded murderess, a thief, a liar, a defender of rape (her husband is a notorious rapist), a tool of Global Capitalism (she is a puppet of George Soros), a profiteer from the armaments industry of death, a war monger, a wrecker of nations, a supporter of terrorism and an all round unsavoury character.

If Clinton had become President of the USA, it would have been highly likely that the cold war the present US regime is attempting to start against Russia, would have become a hot one, with countless deaths and unimaginable destruction to nature and civilisation.

Trump is no angel either.  He has pledged to force the Socialist Republic of Cuba to accept anti-Socialist politics, which will accelerate the decline of the nation which is already suffering from economic liberalisation (the drift into capitalist exploitation).

Trump has pledged to dismantle the developing Welfare State, putting the poor of America into a position of servitude and desperation.  Trump is a very rich man, and has got that way by exploiting people. His plan to cut corporate tax is not one which will necessarily generate well paying jobs, but one which will increase profits for his cronies. His plans to cut expenditure will see those who need support being at the mercy of the rich - and we all know that they have no mercy.

On the plus side, he has voiced criticism of NATO and has called for better relations with Russia, so at least he isn't trying to create war (well, at least not on his victory day!)

Clinton's greatest crime against the American people was her deliberate destruction of the Sanders campaign, which would have seen the Socialist Bernie Sanders pitted against the clown Donald Trump - and would have delivered the USA its first Socialist President, with all the benefits that would have come to everyone in the USA except the exploiter parasites (which is why Clinton and the Democrats scuppered his campaign).

The best possible outcome in the 2016 Presidential Election would have been a victory for Jill Stein, the candidate for the Green Party (GPUS), but the two party system squeezed her out.  The next best outcome would have been for Bernie Sanders to have won as an openly Socialist candidate for the Democrats.  The next best outcome would have been for anyone at all to have stopped the reprehensible Hillary Clinton from winning - and that is what we have with Donald Trump.

SWPE is relieved that Trump beat Clinton, but saddened that a Crony Capitalist has won on a campaign of sound bites which he is unlikely to ever be in the position to deliver, and some of which it would be a tragedy if he did.  These are some of his promises:

• To build a wall along the southern border of the USA, at Mexico's expense
• To stop all cooperation with Iran
• To make Jerusalem the capital of Israel, stopping the creation of a free Palestinian state
• To renegotiate (not withdraw from) TTIP and NAFTA
• To stop contributing to Climate Change programmes (boosting pollution creating industry)
• Increase military expenditure, making the USA 'more' unpredictable militarily

Trump is a Capitalist and is not going to break the USA free from the Global Capitalist system.  He is less dangerous than Clinton, but that is as good as it gets.  Is this too cynical?  Will he lead a regime which will deliver beneficial change, as his supporters claim? We shall see in due course.
