(this is in reply to your message on my dashboard, w/c i accidentally deleted--whoops+sorry!) thank you!! right now it's just the two interviews here, but i'm working on another interview again with ka marco of the CPP--my first proper work in two years! i love your site as well btw! for the longest time i've just never written notes (ADHD &c), which is fine insofar as it's not so inimical as to make study worthless,

but i do think that it keeps the way i study somewhat disorganised, incoherent, and eclectic. back then i tried writing notes with my typewriter and by hand to varying--often non-optimal--results. i'm now trying to shift to typed digital notes, and seeing the stuff on your website has only reäffirmed that decision. my thanks again! warmest regards, pao

ps. i read your entry from the 10th inst. have you managed to find the second part of mr. greene's documentary yet? i have both parts alongside an earlier documentary on china (during the great leap, i think?), tibet, and north vietnam. i had one on cuba, too, but i've since lost it--at least i think so.

I did find the second part of One Man's China on archive like they posted, but I'd be curious about that one you mentioned during the great leap forward

mental-labour: i'll upload the documentary either on youtube, google drive, the internet archive, or all three. i think youtube would be the most convenient, but i worry about it being taken down by the copyright-holder. "cuba va" was itself taken down a few years ago on youtube. i'll see later. regards &c &c

the same channel to whose uploads letslearntogether linked also has the documentary i was referring to, "China!" which was in fact released in 1965, a year before the cultural revolution and well after the great leap, so no need for me to upload it myself: https://youtu.be/kAUQTBrWuJY?si=XswFNYvYdPCC-1d6

one last thing: mr. greene's personal relationship with communism on its own is very interesting. it seems he started out as a sympathiser of the various anti-imperialist movements and projects around the world, including those of china, vietnam, and cuba, and through his travels and involvements matured to become a journalist and propagandiser--i use that last term positively--of the edgar snow-type.

in a lecture (i'll link it here if i ever find it again), he praises the cultural revolution as a sort of "self-correcting mechanism" of the chinese people, and emphasises the need for more self-corrections in the future. i don't think he ever really matured ideologically in the proletarian sense though, as right after saying that he says that the arrest of the gang of four was one such self-correction.

his support for capitalist restoration in china naturally earned him the ire of antirevisionist groupings elsewhere. his talk at the uni of waterloo actually became a focal point of an antirevisionist struggle in the same uni: https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ca.firstwave/cpc-china-week.htm. not sure what became of him in the end, but he was an interesting guy all in all

@pao-chingming: You're welcome! The one making the copyright strikes is probably: https://www.concordmedia.org.uk/ through their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcordMediaUK They still try to sell those videos on Vimeo.

As for Mr. Greene, it would seem that he wasn't liked by the "libertarian right" much either. Example: https://web.archive.org/web/20101102052359/http://libertarian.co.uk/lapubs/forep/forep016.pdf ...I genuinely wonder what the author of that article thinks of Operations Gladio, Condor, etc., but I digress.

Thank you; that's kind of you to say and heartening to hear. I hope you can find something of value in them.

It's so funny that you use the word "heartening," because I heard it for the first time a day or two ago & I feel like I keep seeing it everywhere. It's a good word ♡

I actually want to convert to Judaism, but I think I'll adopt some of the practices you've written about.

It's one of my favourite words. I find that happens to me a lot too — I learn a word I feel like I've never heard before, and then all of a sudden I seem to see it everywhere, also. That seems to imply it's less of a coincidence and more of an issue with my personal awareness. Maybe we block the things we don't understand out, however unknowingly.

Also, the majority of the practices I've written about certainly aren't specific to any one religion — things like prayer and meditation are good habits all-around for peace, clarity and a grateful heart. I wish you luck in your journey exploring your personal faith.

Randomly found your site through the activity tab and I really like it. Also, Hospice by The Antlers is a great album.

Thank you for the kind message! I like your site a lot too; I love how neat and easy to navigate it is. Hospice is brilliant — if only I could get everyone I show it to to sit down and stare at the lyrics whilst listening to it like I do. Alas. :P
