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.

Here is Media & Publicity Department Chairman @Pawankhera ji with new revelations and more questions for Assam’s corrupt Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma from an undisclosed location.
असम के मुख्यमंत्री हिमंता बिस्वा सरमा गंभीर भ्रष्टाचार के आरोपों से घिरे हुए हैं। बजाए सवालों का जवाब देने के अपनी पुलिस की धौंस दिखा रहे हैं।
पवन खेड़ा जी कांग्रेस पार्टी के मजबूत सिपाही हैं- वो इन गीदड़ भभकियों से डरने वाले नहीं हैं।
उन्होंने आपसे पहले भी सवाल पूछे हैं, आज और भी नए सवालों के साथ आपके सामने हैं। हिम्मत है तो जवाब दीजिए, पुलिस के पीछे छिपकर और अमर्यादित भाषा बोलकर कुछ होगा नहीं।
असम की जनता आपका सारा कच���चा चिट्ठा जान चुकी है- कल आपके खिलाफ फैसला सुनाएगी।
जय हिंद 🇮🇳
@SinghReetam@himantabiswa Same person, two completely different IDs in one wallet, a neat 30-year age gap, and somehow both Egyptian and Pakistani at the same time… So believable!

An open letter was sent to Hon. EM @ranojpeguassam signed by over 950 RS, teachers and academicians. The crux of the letter was also endorsed by prominent academicians of Assam including Dr. Gohain sir.
We term the draft rules unjust, arbitrary and devoid of any rationale.
@ranojpeguassam Are we creating civil servents or college teachers? To teach a specialised subject, one needs to have proper understanding of the domain he has done his masters. Not only disappointing, but laughable.

@LudditeNed Factually correct but image is doctored one. This is the real image of Rava with Jayanta Hazarika ( Singer, Composer, younger brother of Bhupen Hazarika)
How big is the Electoral Bonds Scam?
Electoral Bonds have enabled corruption, crony capitalism and fraud at multiple levels. It has spread like cancer.
This thread will show you how far this cancer has spread 🧵
