in india, workers could die by having tonnes of molten steel fall on their body and yet there is no outrage from privileged ppl but the same section of society will call workers anti-national if they protest for safer working conditions.
the only reason for this is caste system.
The Cockroach Movement reflects the anger of India's youth against a corrupt education system, and we stand firmly with the youth. — Dipankar Bhattacharya, GS, CPIML Liberation

CPI(ML) Liberation General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya (@Dipankar_cpiml) joined the massive youth protest held under the banner of the Cockroach Janta Party at Jantar Mantar in Delhi in solidarity with the youth's demands. He said that the youth are angry with the government's failure to stop paper leaks, rising unemployment, and the systematic destruction of public education. He added that the government must answer for these failures, and that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan must resign and be held accountable for the continuing education crisis.
@PravinSawhney@Ram_Guha Sir JL Nehru was elected as the Chairman of the Allahabad Municipal Board in the United Provinces (UP) of British India in April 1923. He served in this role, effectively acting as the city's chief executive, until he resigned in January 1925 due to friction with British.
@svembu agreed problems were there. But atleast problems were openly discussed and there were spaces for opposition to air views. Today, there is a fascist situation where if you say anything against the govt, you are called nati national. You are a science man- don't be an andhbakht plz
Today marks the centenary of the birth of Norma Jeane Mortenson, the woman the world knew as Marilyn Monroe.
While the bourgeois press continues to gape at the ghost of a manufactured icon, the Communist Party of Britain reclaims the intellectual and the comrade.
Her politics were born of the assembly line. From the foster homes of Los Angeles to the Radioplane munitions factory, Monroe’s class consciousness was forged in the heat of proletarian survival. She was a woman of fierce intelligence, possessing an IQ that dwarfed the men who sought to manage her, yet she was reduced to a commodity to be bought, sold, and traded by the parasitic studio system.
The FBI files, which tracked her until her final breath, confirm what the establishment feared - a sex symbol who had read Marx and admired the Chinese Revolution. She was a militant anti-racist who used her platform to shatter the colour bar for Ella Fitzgerald, and she stood firm against the cowardice of the McCarthyite witch hunts when she married the blacklisted playwright Arthur Miller.
We must recognise that Monroe’s struggle was the intersection of class exploitation and patriarchal violence. She was a worker whose labour was her own body, super-exploited by a system that demanded she be beautiful and silent. Her life was a constant act of rebellion against the male gaze of capital. On her 100th birthday, we do not celebrate a "bombshell". We honour a clear-minded socialist who understood that the liberation of her class was inseparable from the liberation of her sex.
Happy Centenary, Comrade Marilyn. The struggle continues.

security,” a strike becomes an “attack on public services,” and a labor federation becomes a “terrorist network.” It is a political fraud meant to break the strike.

The Paz government is trying to smear labor and Indigenous resistance as terrorism. Roadblocks, strikes and union organization are tools of mass struggle, not terrorist acts. Prosecutors are trying to rename them as crimes: a roadblock becomes an “attack on transportation....
