From the NS archive: Lenin and Churchill 19 June 1920: It is curious to observe how much these two statesmen of 20th-century Europe have in common. In June 1920 Vladimir Lenin published a “Letter to the British workers” in Pravda. He thanked them for sending a “delegation” to Russia, an “acquaintance”, he wrote, that “will inevitably accelerate the collapse of capitalism throughout the world”. War secretary and future prime minister Winston Churchill responded to Lenin’s let...

PETER HITCHENS: Say goodbye Scotland, put Wales on our flag – and lets save England!

Cultural Revolution 2.0 Is on America’s Doorstep Commentary I still remember that beautiful spring afternoon a few years ago when my friend Rosemary and I sat on her porch next to a blooming azalea bush, chatting and waving to her neighbors. All of a sudden, Rosemary said, “You know, I really don’t care for Trump’s idea of building that border wall. What do you say?” I thought for five minutes and said: “Well, let’s see.

To India’s east, the surreal rise of a narco-nightmare The surreal history of East Asia’s narco-kingdoms, as dark as any opium nightmare, teaches us what happens when authoritarianism, corruption and underdevelopment collude to bring about the implosion of polities. An anti-drug exhibit is seen at the Drug Elimination museum in Yangon, Myanmar. “Loyalty to the Heavens”, read the banner; beneath it, a man cried in pain as a blowtorch was held to his feet, hammer-blow jolts from an electr...

Letters Problems Dave Vincent admits to having problems grasping the CPGB’s position on some issues - relating mainly to the kind of party that should be established and the nature of socialism (Letters, January 21). He seems to agree that “all Marxists should unite in one party with a programme along the lines suggested by the CPGB” - in other words, a Marxist party. But he adds that the CPGB “frowns upon the setting up of any other party of the working class, which it always derides a...

Ice lord Tse Chi Lop’s drug-trafficking syndicate has spread across the world A MONG THE strangest by-products of the Cultural Revolution was the creation of one of the world’s most lethal organised-crime syndicates. When Mao Zedong at last turned against the Red Guards, he sent many of them to be re-educated in Guangdong, the province abutting Hong Kong.

The Permanent Colony Timothy McLaughlin © Ivan Abreu Tam Tak-chi has spent much of the past two decades talking. First as a popular radio host, then as a prodemocracy activist, Tam had opinions, many of them, and cared little about holding them back. So it was not entirely surprising—perhaps even expected in Hong Kong’s rapidly atrophying space for dissent—that his words eventually drew the ire of authorities. Early one September morning last year, Tam was arrested at hi...
