@RaVz94 @socialist_app And take a look at his 'ROSTA windows' - pioneering propaganda posters he painted for the Russian Telegraph Agency during the civil war.

He wrote a very funny poem about the chore of doing this practical work day-in day-out, and why to keep it up! https://t.co/WDo51of6LW

#OtD The great revolutionary artist Vladimir Mayakovsky was born, 130 years ago. Communist youth should celebrate his life, and remember his revolutionary legacy! #Mayakovsky https://t.co/cvJdlLBAm4

@RaVz94 @socialist_app For details of his life, the 'biography' by Wiktor Woroszylski
is all fascinating first-hand sources https://t.co/bFCl2t6OqI

And Trotsky wrote some excellent pieces on Futurism https://t.co/2k57URqMWs and Mayakvosky's demise https://t.co/CKgnemJAVc

[Glenn Ryan @cloudinslacks]

@ReimaginingG An inspiration, and a lesson. Communist youth today should remember his real, revolutionary legacy! https://t.co/cvJdlLBAm4

An excellent article about the indefinite strike at St Mungo's. Anyone can tell you the 'what'. This asks 'why?' and 'where next?' https://t.co/FPSmrNrdFb

[Revolutionary Communist Party @revcommunists]

Charity workers organised in @SMUnite have begun an indefinite strike today, fighting for a real pay rise.

Socialist Appeal members went along to a picket line in Hackney recently, to speak to the workers about their struggle and the way forward.

[UniteHousingWorkers @UniteHousing]

Unite members in St Mungo's today voted to make their strike indefinite. #housingworkers #ukhousing #homelessness

[Glenn Ryan @cloudinslacks]

#StMungosStrike It was a pleasure speaking to workers on the picket at Hither Green yesterday, and writing about their struggle. Link the struggles! Fight for socialist policies!

[Revolutionary Communist Party @revcommunists]

Unite members at homeless charity St Mungo’s have begun an unprecedented month-long strike over pay. The crisis in society, reflected across the charity sector, has pushed workers to the brink. Only a bold socialist solution will suffice.

[Glenn Ryan @cloudinslacks]

Last year I wrote about looming crisis in the sector. Charities plugging the gaps in society torn apart by the crisis of capitalism. But as the gaps widen, this can't go on. Why should we pay to patch-up the billionaires' rotten system? Overthrow the lot! https://t.co/CEfRZfCt3e

[Glenn Ryan @cloudinslacks]

#StMungosStrike is an example for all us charity workers. Low pay & high workload is causing burnout, at a time when our services are needed most. Charity bosses hide behind the friendly face & 'non-profit' status, but they're still attacking workers. We have to fight back!

[Greenwich Marxists @Greenwich_Marx]

Solidarity with St Mungos workers out on unprecedented month-long strike! Workers' pay down 25% but senior management up 350%!! We visited picket at Hither Green this morning - spirits high and plenty of solidarity from residents and local community! #StMungosStrike @SMUnite

[London Communists @LondonMarxists]

The London Marixsts of @socialist_app will be raising the banner of communism this May Day - join us on the march and in the fight for revolution!

[Revolutionary Communist Party @revcommunists]

Are you a communist? Then it's time to get organised.

Communists dedicate their lives to conquering Marxist ideas, intervening in the class struggle, and fighting for revolution.

The time to fight is now. Join Socialist Appeal today: https://t.co/9L1nUpIKdE

Explosive events in France, but British media quiet (for obvious reasons). If you want to understand what's going on, read this: https://t.co/gjjSVuRaPP

[Glenn Ryan @cloudinslacks]

The casual way the 6 o'clock news just reported "A man was set on fire last night as he walked home from the mosque" is disgusting. The culture wars whipped up by the Tories and supported by the BBC, is having deadly consequences. We need to fight this sickness with class war.

[Greenwich Marxists @Greenwich_Marx]

This month marks 70 years since the death of Stalin. Join us to discuss why the Russian Revolution degenerated, the role of the bureaucracy, and the reactionary legacy of Stalinism.
