[Communist Party ☭ @CPBritain]

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.

On this day in 1976, Ulrike Meinhof, journalist, revolutionary, and co-founder of the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion), was murdered in Stammheim Prison.

Ulrike was found hanged in her cell in the maximum-security Stammheim prison. The then West German government, led by Social Democratic Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, quickly dismissed the case as suicide by hanging, but an International Investigatory Commission into Ulrike Meinhof's death, formed immediately after her death, determined in 1978 that Meinhof had been brutally raped and strangled.

Ulrike's murder marked the beginning of the "final solution" against the militants of the Red Army Faction, long announced and advocated by the ruling bodies of the Federal Republic of Germany. Just over a year later, on October 18, 1977, RAF militants Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe were found dead in prison. On November 11 of the same year, Ingrid Schubert was found dead.

Ulrike's death sparked protests around the world and clashes with police in Paris, Rome, Milan, Venice, Copenhagen, Berlin, Munich, and several cities in West Germany. In Frankfurt, the Armed Forces Recreation Facility at the US Rhein-Main Air Base was blown up.

This weekend, the Communist Party of Britain, alongside the YCL, joined the Edinburgh May Day rally, standing in solidarity with the working class.

May Day is an internationalist celebration, marking, and reflecting on, the many achievements of the labour movement...
