BJP knows that it has no political space in Kerala unless CPIM is undermined. That is the politics of ED raid on the residence of Pinarayi Vijayan today,with connivance of Congress. It has galvanised the entire CPIM into protest action overcoming the trauma of electoral set back.

Who is Raul Castro? Here’s a thread that gives the highlights of the life of this great revolutionary anti-imperialist fighter.

[Manolo De Los Santos @manolo_realengo]

🧶 🇨🇺 Today Raúl Castro turns 92! At a young age, he committed himself to the struggle for Cuba's independence & for socialism! Throughout his career, western media has often placed him in Fidel's shadow ignoring the important historical role he's played in the Cuban Revolution.

How the Communists got their views into colonial India.....how did they get The Vanguard of the Indian Revolution through the censors and the customs? Sreekumar Sekhar writes in Left Views on that history, https://t.co/CK4dXwiddV

"Writing obits for the Left is much too glib and unfair."

wrote a piece in @IndianExpress about the undue haste of political specialists writing the obituary of Left politics in India.

Today we commemorate the birth anniversary of Karl Marx.

Marx’s work provides us with the sharpest counter-narrative to capitalist oppression. His work is the bedrock upon which revolutions are built.

We have curated a list of books by and on Marx.

Read to resist.
