  1. The Revolutionary Charter for establishing people’s power (2023) is the output of a radically participatory and democratic process.

    "Placing our focus on criminal justice alone may allow for some individuals to be punished for their crimes against society but will leave unharmed the same hegemony and oppression regimes who are behind violence and atrocities."
    excerpt from The Charter: migration-control.info/documen

    (Jeopardy reference, for those not familiar with it. RIP Alex Trebek)

    (For the other side of "not in the know," the Fediverse is comprised of #idealists, #anarchists, and peaceful #revolutionaries. That is who we are.)

  3. #Revolutionaries behind the 1908 Hanoi Poison Plot detained at the Hoa Lo Prison by the French colonists in 1941.

    13 of them had their heads chopped off instantly and displayed in public. The French later used the photo for an #Indochina #propaganda postcard.

    Whilst the second world war was raging across the world, in Vietnam the #VietMinh #Liberation Movement, led by famed revolutionary Ho Chi Minh, was taking birth. #HoChiMinh had one dream. An independent Vietnam free of foreign rule.

    The first year after the war had Japan, and then Britain keen to get their hands on Vietnam. But they were soon replaced by Vietnam’s old colonial rulers: the French.

    For nine long years, thereafter, from 1946 to 1954 the First Indochina War ripped across the country. Spilling blood, lives, and peace. On one side were the French. More adamant to stay. More aggressive in their rule. They were helped by the US who provided advisers, funding, and weapons from behind the scenes.
    Anti-communist Vietnamese loyalists aided the French rulers’ legitimacy. On the other side was Ho Chi Minh and his revolutionaries.

    Things eventually came to a head in 1954 with the Geneva Conference and creation of the 17th Parallel, a Demilitarized Zone [DMZ] on 17 degrees latitude north.

  4. The older #revolutionaries sought to change the social environment in the hope (if they were idealists and not mere power seekers) of changing human nature. Then coming revolutionaries will make their assault directly on human nature as they find it, in the minds and bodies of their victims or, if you prefer, their beneficiaries.

  5. For Black History Month I curated a list of Black folks in the arts who haven’t just given white folks fodder for cultural appropriation. They’ve moved the needle by inspiring change and creating friction.

    These are people who have fueled resistance against systemic inequities. People who make many white folks uncomfortable.

    Maybe some of their names are new to you. Please say hello.

  7. There are 2 types of #revolutionaries: those bred through a rich education, and those bred through a poor education. But there is truly only one #revolution, and that is of a populace fed up.

    "What Is #Crimethink?

    Crimethink is everything that evades control: the daydream in the classroom, the renegade breaking ranks, the spray-painted walls that continue to speak even under martial law. It is the persistent sense that things could be otherwise, that there is nothing natural or inevitable about the prevailing social order. In a world optimized for administration, everything that cannot be classified or displayed on a screen is crimethink. It is the spirit of rebellion without which freedom is literally unthinkable.
    What Is CrimethInc.?

    CrimethInc. is a #RebelAlliance — a secret society pledged to the propagation of crimethink. It is a think tank producing ideas and action, a sphinx posing questions fatal to the superstitions of our age.

    CrimethInc. is a banner for anonymous collective action. It is not a membership organization, but a mouthpiece for longings that extend throughout the population at large. Anyone can be CrimethInc. — it could be your next-door neighbor or the person sitting beside you on the bus. You and your friends already constitute an affinity group, the organizational model best suited to guerrilla tactics, ready to go into action against all the forces that threaten your freedom.

    CrimethInc. is an international network of aspiring #revolutionaries extending from #Kansas to #KualaLumpur. For over twenty years, we have published news, analysis, books, journals, posters, videos, podcasts, and a wide range of other resources — all copyright free, produced and distributed by volunteer labor, without reliance on external funding or market trends. We also coordinate speaking tours, debates, and various other public events. Though we rarely seek public recognition for our efforts, everything we do is informed by our participation in social movements.

    CrimethInc. is a desperate venture. As this society lurches ever closer to annihilation, we are staking everything on the possibility that we could kick open the escape hatch to another future. Rather than competing for social capital or selling ourselves to the highest bidder, we have thrown ourselves completely into the struggle for a better world. We invite you to do the same."

  9. அமெரிக்காவில் இருந்து பிரிட்டிஷ் ஆட்சியை எதிர்த்த இந்திய புரட்சியாளர்கள்

    20ஆம் நூற்றாண்டின் தொடக்கத்தில், அமெரிக்க மண்ணில் இருந்து பிரிட்டிஷ் காலனியாதிக்கத்திற்கு எதிராக போராடிய இந்திய புரட்சியாளர்களின் வரலாறு, வர்க்கப் போராட்டம் மற்றும் சாம்ராஜ்யத்துவ எதிர்ப்பு குறித்த மார்க்சிய புரிதலுக்கு ஒரு சிறந்த உதாரணமாகும். ஹர் தயால், தாரக்நாத் தாஸ், சோக…

  10. West #Germany #OTD in 1977. An example of how the "free world" was treating its opponents in prisons.

    “I am afraid of being suicided in the same way as Ulrike. If there is no letter from me and I’m found dead; in this case it is an assassination.”
    -Gudrun Ensslin to her lawyers

    ...On October 17, a West German anti-terrorist commando stormed the airliner in Mogadishu, killing three guerillas and wounding the fourth. The next morning it was announced that Gudrun Ensslin and Andreas Baader were dead, having allegedly committed suicide. It was also announced that Jan-Carl Raspe and fellow RAF prisoner Irmgard Möller had “attempted suicide.” Raspe subsequently died of his wounds.

    An examination of the contradictions surrounding the alleged “suicides” of Gudrun Ensslin, Jan-Carl Raspe, and Andreas Baader, contradictions no less numerous than in the case of Ulrike Meinhof’s death, tends to support the conclusion that the deaths were in fact murders.

    Baader and Raspe died as a result of gunshot wounds, Ensslin as a result of hanging, and the sole survivor, Irmgard Möller, suffered repeated stab wounds inflicted with a kitchen knife.

  11. When Malcolm X met Fidel Castro in Harlem in 1960, he told Castro: “As long as Uncle Sam is against you, you know you’re a good man."

  13. Sentenced to death, Trỗi got a reprieve after the FALN, a #Venezuelan #MarxistLeninist #guerrilla group, kidnapped US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Smolen in revenge for Trỗi's sentence. The group threatened to kill Smolen if Trỗi was executed. Smolen was eventually released unharmed, and Trỗi was shot by firing squad shortly thereafter in Chí Hòa Prison.

    In the West, Trỗi's arrest went largely unreported. Major news media did not report on Trỗi at all until the #FALN kidnapping episode. His anonymity persisted after his execution, despite the honors bestowed upon him in the #EasternBloc. Apart from advocacy by #revolutionaries like the Weather Underground & a brief mention in Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book (1971) as a "Vietnamese hero", Trỗi is still rarely acknowledged in Western accounts of the #VietnamWar.

    Many cities in Vietnam have named major streets after him. In #HồChíMinh City, the road upon which McNamara traveled ,& where Trỗi planned to assassinate him is named Nguyen Van Troi Boulevard & a memorial park, Bia tưởng niệm Anh Hung Liet Si Nguyễn Văn Trỗi is located near the former Cong Ly Bridge. In #ĐàNẵng, the Nguyễn Văn Trỗi Bridge spans the Hàn River. Other countries have commemorated Trỗi, particularly #Cuba. A 14,000-seat public stadium in #Guantánamo is named Nguyen Van Troi Stadium & his statue overlooks Nguyen Van Troi Park in #Havana; the city also has a school & hospital named for him.

    Anti-war activists Jane Fonda & Tom Hayden named their son, an actor now known as Troy Garity, in honor of Trỗi.

    The 1975 film Chronicle of a #LatinAmerican subversive (Spanish: Crónica de un subversivo latinoamericano) by director Mauricio Walerstein, narrates the kidnapping episode of Colonel Smolen by FALN guerrillas in response to Trỗi's death sentence.

  14. Coast #Salish #FreedomFighters: From Alberta #TarSands to the #SalishSea

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews Nov. 7, 2024

    SEATTLE -- "The dead birds floating in the #AlbertATarSands #TailingPonds, the #ManCamps linked to missing and murdered Indigenous girls, and the increased #OilTankers in the Salish Sea -- are all parts of the dirty oil of the #TransMountainPipeline pouring out of Alberta's dirty tar sands, bound for oil tankers in the Salish Sea.

    "'We are not just #activists, we are #revolutionaries and we're radical and militant and we want to keep it that way, we don't want to get soft in our older years,' said #KanahusManuel, #Secwepemc and #Ktunaxa, describing her family's struggle to protect their land and stop the Trans Mountain pipeline.

    "Speaking at the State of Emergency for The Salish Sea in #SeattleWashington on Thursday, Kanahus said, 'We are the title holders to the land.'"

  16. President #HoChiMinh is a figure with universal stature, a great #revolutionary who fought tirelessly for the best for #Vietnamese people and #humanity, and a very great but humble man Dr. Ruvislei González Sáez.

    Saez, who is also VP of the #Cuba #Vietnam Friendship Association, affirmed that the great #ideology of President Ho Chi Minh, one of the most important figures in the 20th century, remains alive among the 100 million Vietnamese people & world #revolutionaries.
