@athulmnair1 Ha...ha...ha... When Nehru died, the INC was officially finished . Why did Mahatma Gandhi urge AICC to disperse the Congress? The Post-Nehru congress became a family dynasty which succumbed to immense corruption Under UPA2 that paved the way for RSS to take the reign of India.
@RikkyTweets@marineravin Those who eat intestines of 2 or 3 years and those who support genocides in Gaza would feel , quiet naturally, that Nazis and commies are the same . It is because that much Epstein Effect always haunts them.
No way out , except stick to current medication.
The communists who opened umbrellas in Moscow's rain gave Kerala land reforms, the education bill and the highest literacy rate in India CM sir, what did the umbrella holders in London's rain give us?
James Connolly was born into the crushing poverty of the Edinburgh slums to Irish parents. He spent his life proving that the working class has no country but the one they build for themselves. He was a trade unionist who did more than talk about solidarity. He organised the Irish Citizen Army to protect workers from the batons of the bosses and the police during the 1913 Lockout.
He understood that a change in the colour of a flag means nothing if the same landlords and capitalists are still pulling the strings. In 1916, he led the Easter Rising to break the back of British imperialism and the systemic greed that sustained it. He knew that national freedom without economic freedom was just a different form of slavery.
The British state showed its true face in his murder. Connolly was so shattered by wounds from the fighting that he could not stand to face the firing squad. They took him to Kilmainham Gaol, tied him to a chair, and shot him.
They killed the man but they could not kill the truth he left us. We do not celebrate him as a statue or a relic of the past. We celebrate him by continuing the fight for a world where the wealth belongs to those who create it. Our demands remain moderate. We only want the earth.

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.

Vietnam Savaşı sırasında Amerika’nın köprüleri bombalamasının ardından, kadınların Vietnamlı askerlerin geçiş yapabilmesi için adeta insan köprüsü olması tarihin tozlu sayfalarından bir kare.
Plenty of justified anti-imperialist rage today in Venezuela. This video is from a rally in Plaza Bolívar (Caracas) in the afternoon. Fair to say that Trump and Rubio are not the most popular figures
Even by the standards of a country ranking 157 of 180 nations in the World Press Freedom Index, the reaction of the authorities to the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ is beyond extraordinary. The public response to that imaginative prank should have signalled to them a deep discontent, even distress, among young people. Instead, as The Indian Express reported, it was framed as jeopardising the country’s ‘national security’ and ‘posing a threat to the sovereignty of India.’ Decades ago, the Malaysian lawyer and poet Cecil Rajendra wrote this brilliant poem that captures the idiocy of it better than any pompous editorialising could (not that our ‘mainstream’ media would dare do even that much).
La pretendida acusación contra el General de Ejército Raúl Castro Ruz, que acaba de comunicar el Gobierno estadounidense, solo evidencia la soberbia y la frustración que le provoca a los representantes del imperio, la inquebrantable firmeza de la Revolución Cubana y la unidad y fortaleza moral de su liderazgo.
Se trata de una acción política, sin ningún basamento jurídico, que solo busca engrosar el expediente que fabrican para justificar el desatino de una agresión militar a #Cuba.
EE.UU miente y manipula los sucesos alrededor del derribo de las avionetas de la organización narco-terrorista Hermanos al Rescate, en 1996.
Sabe bien, porque sobran evidencias documentales, que no se actuó de manera imprudente ni se violó el derecho internacional, como sí vienen haciendo fuerzas militares estadounidenses, con sus fríamente calculadas y abiertamente publicitadas ejecuciones extrajudiciales sobre embarcaciones civiles en el Caribe y el Pacífico.
El 24 de febrero de 1996, Cuba actuó en legítima defensa, dentro de sus aguas jurisdiccionales, tras sucesivas y peligrosas violaciones de nuestro espacio aéreo por connotados terroristas, de lo cual la administración estadounidense de turno fue alertada en más de una decena de ocasiones, pero hizo caso omiso de las advertencias y permitió las violaciones.
La altura ética y el sentido humanista de su obra, derriban cualquier infamia que se pretenda levantar contra el General de Ejército Raúl Castro. Como jefe guerrillero y como estadista, ganó el amor de su pueblo, a lo que se suma el respeto y la admiración de otros líderes de la región y del mundo. Esos valores son su mejor defensa y un escudo moral, frente al ridículo intento de menoscabar su talla de héroe.
