Media Office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in Lebanon 09-10-2023 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Lebanese Communist Party call upon all the peoples of our region (and their Resistance Forces), and all the honourable and free people of the world, to unite in their efforts and mobilize their energies in support of the Palestinian people and their valiant Resistance - in the face of (fascist) Zionist brutality and global (US-backed) neo-imperialism! The position of the Communist Party and the Popular Front was issued after a Joint Leadership Meeting, today, Monday, October 9th, 2023, held at the office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The meeting included the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Communist Party, Hanna Gharib, at the Head of a leadership Delegation, and on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Marwan Abdel-Al, and the Front’s Official in Lebanon, Haitham Abdo, and members of its Leadership in Lebanon. The two sides praised the steadfastness and sacrifices of the Palestinian people in defense of the honour and dignity of the nation, and expressed their pride and support in what the military wings of the Palestinian Resistance Factions have achieved against incredible odds - during the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood - which revived the spirit in the body of the peoples of our nation, whose will the enemies have always tried to break whilst killing the spirit of Resistance in the souls of the Palestinian people and her children! They stressed that the Palestinian people today are waging a battle to defend the honour and dignity of the nation and its permissible rights from the (fasxist) Zionist and Western colonial powers, and that what the Resistance achieved in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood - brought to mind memories of the scenes of pride, heroism and victory achieved by the Syrian and Egyptian Arab armies on October 6th, 1973! Crossing the Suez Canal and destroying the (Zionist) Bar Lev Line! It confirmed in concrete terms the possibility of achieving strategic victory over the usurping entity state and all its allies and supporters - and that rights cannot be restored by wishful thinking and speculations on the illusions of a settlement - and that the only option for the Palestinian people is to regain their historical national rights by escalating their comprehensive Resistance, first and foremost through an armed struggle! They stressed the necessity of forming a comprehensive Arab Resistance Front to defeat the (fascist) Zionist Occupation, restore the full rights, capabilities and wealth of the nation currently in the grip of imperialist domination, and unleash the energies of the peoples of the region in the Battle for Liberation and progress towards a free society and creating a bright future for all the generations to come! The two sides called on all Arab and International Leftist Parties, forces, and frameworks to declare a clear position that supports the struggle of the Palestinian people, and to provide all forms of support and solidarity with their just struggle. They also stressed the continuation of joint communication and coordination between all supportive sides, involving various Parties and progressive forces in the region and the world. They paid tribute to all the martyrs who rose in defense of Palestine, the nation, and the causes of freedom and justice in the world! They also addressed a greeting of pride and respect to the prisoners steadfast in the dungeons of the (fasxist) Zionist Occupation, and to the freedom fighter Georges Abdullah sitting in the dungeons of the French Imperialist State! Expressing their complete confidence in the ability of the Palestinian people and their Resistance Forces to perform miracles, achieve complete victory, and extract all of their historical Human Rights from the control of the Zionist Aggressors – Rights that are NOT subject to negotiation or barter! #AL-AQSA_FLOOD Palestianian (Arabic) Language Text: http://pflp-lb.org/news.php?go=fullnews&newsid=16863 الجبهة الشعبية والشيوعي اللبناني: لحشد كل جهود وطاقات شعوب المنطقة لإسناد الشعب الفلسطيني ومقاومته الباسلة المكتب الإعلامي للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين في لبنان 09-10-2023 دعت الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين، والحزب الشيوعي اللبناني كل شعوب منطقتنا وقواها المقاومة، وكل شرفاء وأحرار العالم، لتوحيد جهودها وحشد طاقاتها، لإسناد الشعب الفلسطيني ومقاومته الباسلة، في مواجهة الوحشية الصهيونية والإمبريالية العالمية. موقف الحزب والجبهة، جاء إثر لقاء قيادي مشترك، وذلك اليوم الإثنين في 9 تشرينالأول 2023، في مكتب الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين في العاصمة اللبنانية بيروت. وضَمٌَ اللقاء الأمين العام للحزب الشيوعي اللبناني حنا غريب، على رأس وفد قيادي، وعن الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين عضو المكتب السياسي للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين مروان عبد العال، ومسؤولها في لبنان هيثم عبده وأعضاء قيادتها في لبنان . وأشاد الجانبان بصمود وتضحيات الشعب الفلسطيني دفاعاً عن شرف وكرامة الأمة، وعَبَّرا عن فخرهما واعتزازهما بما حققته الأجنحة العسكرية لفصائل المقاومة الفلسطينية، في معركة (طوفان الأقصى) التي أعادت بث الروح في جسد شعوب أمتنا، التي لطالما حاول الأعداء كسر إرادتها وقتل روح المقاومة في نفوس ابنائها. وشدَّدا على ان الشعب الفلسطيني اليوم يخوض معركة الدفاع عن شرف وكرامة الأمة وحقوقها المستباحة من القوى الصهيونية والاستعمارية الغربية، وعلى أن ما حققته المقاومة في عملية (طوفان الأقصى) أعاد للأذهان مشاهدَ العزةِ والبطولة والانتصار التي حققها الجيشان العربيان السوري والمصري في السادس من اكتوبر عام 1973 وعبور قناة السويس، وتحطيم خط بارليف. وأكدت بالملموس إمكانية تحقيق الانتصار الإستراتيجي على دولة الكيان الغاصب وكل حلفائه وداعميه، وعلى أن الحقوق لا تستعاد بالتمنيات والرهانات على أوهام التسوية ، وعلى أن الخيار الوحيد لإستعادة الشعب الفلسطيني حقوقه الوطنية التاريخية، إنما يكون بتصعيد المقاومة الشاملة وفي مقدمتها الكفاح المسلح. وأكدا على ضرورة تشكيل جبهة مقاومة عربية شاملة لدحر الإحتلال واستعادة كامل حقوق ومقدرات وثروات الأمة من قبضة الهيمنة الإمبريالية، وإطلاق طاقات شعوب المنطقة في معركة التحرر والتقدم نحو مجتمعٍ حر وصناعة مستقبل مشرق للأجيال القادمة. ودعا الجانبان كل الأحزاب والقوى والأطر اليسارية العربية والأممية إلى إعلان موقف واضح يدعم كفاح الشعب الفلسطيني، وتقديم كل أشكال الإسناد والتضامن مع كفاحه العادل . كما أكدا استمرار التواصل والتنسيق المشترك بين الجانبين، ومع مختلف الأحزاب والقوى التقدمية في المنطقة والعالم. وتوجها بتحية إجلال وإكبار الى كل الشهداء الذين ارتقوا دفاعاً عن فلسطين والأمة وقضايا الحرية والعدالة في العالم. كما توجها بتحية إعتزاز وإكبار الى الاسرى الصامدين في زنازين الإحتلال الصهيوني، والى المناضل جورج عبد الله القابع في زنازين الإمبريالية الفرنسية. معبرين عن ثقتهم التامة بقدرة الشعب الفلسطيني وقواه المقاومة على صنع المعجزات، وتحقيق الانتصار التام، وانتزاع كامل حقوقه التاريخية الغير قابلة للمساومة والمقايضة

Art is useful to uplift the spirit (mind) and generate a broader perspective through which the world can be understood! Marx and Engels discussed often how the external world conditions the inner being - whilst the Buddha explained in detail how to identify and uproot the 'imprints' projected into the mind in the form of greed, hatred and delusion - the tripartite cornerstones of ancient Indian feudalism and modern (predatory) capitalism! This relationship between the 'old' and the 'new' explains WHY Buddhism retains its importance in the modern world and can be a useful developmental tool for the contemporary Proletariat! Of course, the Bourgeoisie also claims Buddhism for itself - the paedophile 14th Dalai Lama springs to mind - but so do any of the so-called 'Western' Buddhist movements of appropriation! Just as soon as a monetary 'price' is charged for what amounts to regulating the breathing process - it is clear the true path of Dharma has been abandoned! Capitalist endeavour is NOT the uprooting of greed, hatred and delusion - but its EXACT opposite! The White intellection that justifies this process in the numerous so-called 'journals', 'magazines' and special interest 'books' - is surely the very definition of pure evil! An example of racism through the written word! The message is simple - the White Bourgeoisie has appropriated Buddhism for its own deceptive ends - and the developing (non-White) Bourgeoisie throughout the Asian countries is prepared to 'sell' their traditional culture to the Europeans as a means to fuel this racist addiction! Buddhism, when it is successful, is the end of predatory capitalism and the end White domination! This reality is true of both the 'inner' and the 'outer' world simultaneously!
Stupid White People – And How They Betrayed the Revolutionary Nature of Buddhism! (12.9.2022)9/12/2022 Buddhism is stronger than any bullet, bomb or army! Buddhism possesses the greatest form of power and that is the ability to alter thought patterns and change the way individuals and groups perceive the material world and decide how to act in it! When White people set off for Asia in the last few centuries – what did they do? They took along (tucked safely inside them) the Bible they had so fervently had rejected on the outside! When they studied Buddhism here and there – they all managed to miss the point – and they studied the Dhamma as superior ‘White’ people pontificating upon the inferior machinations of the great unwashed (and slightly ‘smelly’) non-Europeans – those odd people who all seemed to claim an ancient culture but which no one seemed to know anything definite about! Oh – how they failed those tests! Still, they did manage to acquire the words of the Buddha and they did bring those words of the Buddha back to Europe – and what did they do with these most powerful of Revolutionary words? Well, they immediately set about mimicking the establishments of the Christian religion they had abandoned and as if this was not enough of a betrayal – they immediately began to turn Buddhism into a commodity that could be bought and sold on the free market! They then wrote copious amounts of books about how clever they thought they were and how their understanding was greater than any other Western convert! Entire publishing empires developed committed to peddling the spiritual imaginations of ‘White’ people who had been to Asia and ‘stolen’ (after-all, they never paid for) the Dhamma for nefarious reasons. The very Christian religion Buddhism should have washed away with an unstoppable wave of anti-theistic wisdom was bolstered and reinforced! The capitalism that the non-greed of Buddhism should have uprooted and laid to rest was thrown ‘Buddhism’ to devour like a bone casually tossed to a hungry dog! The Revolution that Buddhism should have caused amongst the Working-Class of the West was hijacked by the Middle-Classes who could afford to travel to exotic lands and lounge under trees for long periods of time! Trotsky in a Saffron robe – that is what these shaven headed Order of Contemplatives have brought to the West! The Buddha saw that ‘religion’ is the enemy – the ‘stupefier’ of humanity! These stupid White people with their fake sincerity and impure hearts defied the Buddha whilst pretending to follow him – and they still do! The Working-Class can wake-up in an instant! There is no need for mimicking or appropriating the culture of others! Buddhist dialectics applied properly is the end of the bourgeois inverted mind-set – the end of the false consciousness of the Working-Class! God does not exist because he NEVER existed - so away with your old Churches, graveyards and pretend royalty! Buddhism is stronger than bullets even though words can be used with the force of bullets! Buddhism is communicated with words and with silence! Revolution is greeted with turmoil and then an unfolding stability! Stupid White people rob Peter to pay Paul! The Buddhism they follow is Christ in drag! The Queen is dead – long live the Dharma Raja!
For Marx religion is like a fix of opium designed to take the minds (and bodies) of the collective working-class off of the daily suffering implicit within the life of a capitalist society! Whilst for Lenin, religion of any sort is nothing but a ‘fog’ which distorts the collective thinking of the working-class. Furthermore, Marx exposes the underlying philosophical premise of any form of theism as being the product of ‘inverted’ thought processes, or to put it another way, a body of knowledge built upon a foundation of illogical thinking and incorrect conclusions. Marx explains that the idea of an ‘all-knowing’ God is nothing but a ‘thought’ in the human mind – a product of wishful thinking and imagination – which is then mistaken as existing ‘independently’ somewhere ‘out there’ in the universe. This argument is as powerful as it is simplistic and straightforward. For Marx, the vast body of theological literature does not matter – as it is all premised upon a false understanding of reality that relies upon ‘blind faith’ to exist and continue to exist. This is where religion receives its greatest support, as ‘faith’ does not require logical though or correct scientific scrutiny to ‘exist’ and ‘function’ throughout society. The Church Authorities are political entities that support the predatory capitalist system, and they sustain this influence (regardless of its obvious ‘corruption’) through the propagation of the agency of ‘faith’. Just as the Medieval Church gained its political power by aligning itself with the imperial Roman apparatus – modern Christianity has been developed by the bourgeoisie to represents its own best class interests – and grew-out of the process of industrialisation over the last four-years or so. Modern Christianity, therefore, exists as a statement of class dominance by the bourgeoisie which masquerades as a vehicle for personal development and deliverance. By transferring ‘religion’ from the ‘public’ to the ‘private’ sphere – as Marx and Lenin agree – the power-mongering of its modern priesthood is dismantled and disempowered. Religious doctrine is then replaced into a position of its founding – where it becomes a vehicle for self-cultivation with NO political ambitions or political power. An argument can be made that by placing religion into the ‘private’ sphere – religion is being returned to its ‘genuine’ state and purpose of being a vehicle for ‘inner’ development. This private-undertaking should be the only ‘lawful’ function that religious possesses. The ideology of Marxist-Leninism suggests that as times unfolds throughout a ‘Socialist’ society (which sees the working-class seizing control of the means of production) - it is believed that the ‘impulse’ toward religion will eventually die-out quite naturally as society is transformed from one of exploitation’ to that of ‘collective co-operation' - from ‘daily suffering’ to ‘daily collective and personal empowerment’! As the outward aspect of social organisation becomes ‘classless’, ‘just’, ‘productive’ and ‘equalitarian’, etc, the ‘inner’ health and vibrancy of the human-condition will becomes so ‘purified’, ‘positive’ and ‘progressive’ that there will no longer appear the impulse for the need for religion to arise as a psychological, emotional and physical habit. Therefore, Marxist-Leninist ideology offers a critique of religion that is so devastating to the Bourgeois Church that its power-brokers would rather support the ideology of ‘fascism’ and declare Marxism to be ‘evil’ than honestly and truthfully face the allegations levelled by Marx and striving to work with its conclusions rather than propagandising against it. Religion, if handled the right-way, can be useful for the development of a Socialist society, with any Socialist government possessing the moral responsibility of ‘integrating’ religionists into a new Socialist world-order with as little friction as possible.
