• USA: The Missing Chapter in Malcolm X’s Biography They Hid From You
  28 January, by siawi3

  His assassination killed the “latent socialism” he was stirring via Black nationalist struggles. The missing chapter in Malcolm X’s biography must be fervently resurrected.

• ‘Das Kapital’ in Kiswahili
  31 January, by siawi3

  Capital is essentially a book for the proletariat–the working class, those who are exploited and oppressed by the capitalist system. I’m convinced that if the book is distributed to low-income people, it will have a very positive impact. I may not be able to prove this, but I believe it and it has also been my personal experience.

• Burkina Faso: A sympathetic critique of Thomas Sankara
  1 February, by siawi3

  Although other, longer-lived revolutionaries from decolonization and the Cold War saw their stars fade as their time in office extended, the reputation as a worthy presidential martyr enjoyed by Thomas Sankara, who led a short-lived revolution in Burkina Faso, has only grown.

• USA: Glen Ford - Legacy of a Black Revolutionary: Black Agenda Report (BAR)
  1 February, by siawi3

  Glen Ford’s legacy is recognized all over the nation. Why do I want the Japanese American community to know about him? For the same reason that I credit Malcolm X for giving us back our identities as Asian Americans by dismantling the ideology of white supremacy. Just as the black civil rights movement gave rise to the Third World Movements of the 60s & 70s, the Asian American Movement has taken inspiration and leadership from the struggles of black Americans.

• USA: Abolition. Feminism. Now.
  1 February, by siawi3

  I loved the careful archiving of decades of struggle that is usually so easily forgotten. The authors insist on celebrating and remembering the myriad small groups that are busy building a world beyond punishment and control. They insist on the value of ‘working for freedom, instead of merely working against danger and despair.’ That’s a nourishing thing to read, and with all the difficulties of daily struggle, it’s the kind of nourishment we need.

• Sartre : splendeur et misère de l’intellectuel
  3 février, par siawi3

  Les Lumières ne se sont pas éteintes, même réduites à l’état de veilleuses, elles sont appelées à redevenir des vigilances.

• Des révolutionnaires invisibles : les femmes algériennes et l’organisation de la Section des femmes du FLN en France métropolitaine
  3 février, par siawi3

  Un ensemble complexe de facteurs a contribué à rendre les femmes de la Fédération de France du FLN largement invisibles. À plus de 90 % analphabètes, elles n’ont laissé que peu de documents, et elles restèrent sans voix, politiquement et culturellement marginalisées après l’Indépendance.

• Paule Minck : le socialisme aux femmes
  6 février, par siawi3

  De son vivant, un périodique suisse évoqua, pour déplorer « la révolution des femmes », « deux mégères de distinction : Louise Michel et Paule Minck ». Si la première a aujourd’hui tout de la légende, la seconde n’a pourtant l’attention que des spécialistes. Peut-être cela changera-t-il : en 2021, à l’occasion du 150^e anniversaire de la Commune de Paris, un jardin public a pris son nom dans la capitale.

• Africa was at the centre of Lenin’s work
  7 February, by siawi3

  Lenin’s revolutionary theories provided the framework for an entire generation of African socialists during the twentieth century.

• Tributes to Neil Faulkner
  13 February, by siawi3

  Neil was well-known as a fieldwork archaeologist, historian, magazine editor, author, lecturer, broadcaster, and political activist. A Hegelian Marxist, his politics infused everything he did.
