Notice the time lag between the events of 1936 and the realization that the Soviets were “wag[ing] a war against the Anarchists.”
That's not correct. If the Comintern Parties[^note1] and their comissaries were waging a war into the anti-fascist forces, were against other communists: mostly against the POUM and troskist.
The POUM (Partit Obrer d'unificació Marxista / Workers Party of Marxist Unification), the group where George Orwell joined, was a non-troskist Marxist-Leninist Party, which wanted to do the revolution at the same time as overcoming fascism, i.e. the same strategy that the anarchists of the FAI (Federació Anarquista Ibèrica / Iberian Anarchist Federation) and CNT (Confederació Nacional del Treball / National Confederation of Labor).
The POUM was banned (accused of collaboration with fascism) and its leader Andreu Nin disappeared. Until the 90s, with the declassification of KGB documentation, it was not known what had happened to him: he was detained, tortured and murdered by the NKVD without having 'confessed' to any crime.
I do not deny that there was persecution against anarchists, but I do deny the degree of animosity towards them that anarchist historiography often presents. The greatest ideological "danger" of the Comintern, those against whom they showed the greatest animosity within the anti-fascist bloc, were not the anarchists, nor the majority socialist party, nor the petty-bourgeois parties... they were other communists who do not share their positions.

A convention was held of 200 socialists and radical trade unionists from all over the United States who opposed the policies and politics of the more moderate American Federation of Labor (AFL). In particular, the IWW opposed the American Federation of Labor's acceptance of capitalism and its refusal to include unskilled workers in craft unions. > > The IWW's founders included many historically important labor activists and socialist thinkers, including "Big Bill" Haywood, James Connolly, Daniel De Leon, Eugene V.

That video is liberal anti-Che propaganda (e.g.: he not started the Cuban-USA nuclear missile crisis, I've stoped the video after that).
Jon Lee Anderson, Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life is usually suggested as one of the best biographies about him.

In Spanish is called capacitismo, discrimination against people with disability.
also how communist states basically sold the impression that communism & democracy are incompatible "systems"
Communist parties have confronted the bourgeoisie/liberal democracies with popular/socialist democracies, and a lot of times have added 'democratic' to the state name, e.g.: Democratic People's Republic of Korea (since 1948), Lao People's Democratic Republic (since 1975), Finnish Democratic Republic (1939–1940), German Democratic Republic (1949–1990), Democratic Republic of Vietnam (1954–1975)...

The cop, 44-year old white man Derek Chauvin, knelt on Floyd's neck for nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds while he was handcuffed and lying face-down in a street.

Author Malik Simba writes: "the protests have involved more than 26 million Americans in 2,000 cities and towns in every state in the U.S., making [them] the most widespread protests around one issue in the history of the nation. By the end of June alone, one month into the protests, 14,000 people had been arrested." > > Initially, the local District Attorney's Office only harged Chauvin with third-degree manslaughter, but this charge was later increased to second degree murder, following mass protests. On April 20th, 2021, Chauvin was convicted and sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. The other three officers were also later convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights. > > Floyd's murder was witnessed by several people, including children. On the incident, seventeen year old Danella Frazier stated "When I look at George Floyd, I look at my dad, I look at my brother, I look at my cousin and my uncle." Her nine year old cousin, also an eyewitness, testified in court: "I was sad and kind of mad and it felt like [Chauvin's knee] was stopping him from breathing and it was hurting him." > > --- > - Date: 2020-05-25 > - Learn More: www.blackpast.org, en.wikipedia.org. > - Tags: #Protests. > - Source: www.apeoplescalendar.org

Victory of the camped students of the Barcelona University
The University of Barcelona will break rellations with Israel.
Source: https://t.me/comunitatpalestinacatalunya (catalan language).
(Auto)ranslated announcement:
_🚨 ATTENTION! *Tomorrow everyone in front of the University of Barcelona to celebrate the historic victory of the students.
After 17 days of camping in Palestine at the University of Barcelona:
The university has not only approved the severance of relations with Israel, but has committed itself and activated the necessary mechanisms to make it possible. After more than two weeks of daily assemblies, actions, meetings and communiqués, the students demonstrate that the action works and push forward for a free Palestine.
After a historic victory today they have announced that tomorrow May 24 in the afternoon they will end the camp. The end of the camp implies a step forward in the struggle, to continue mobilizing our collective struggle in different spaces. We hope that yesterday will be one more victory of the gains to come and bring us closer to a common goal for life and dignity.
Come make noise with us and welcome the students: 🗓️ Friday 24 May at 6.30pm 📍Plaça Universitat (in front of the UB door)
📢 Together we can shake the world for Palestine; to stop genocide, occupation and apartheid in Palestine. We know it works and we won't stop until we get it: free Palestine, from the river to the sea.🇵🇸_
To pay for sex is a form of exploiting; the consent is not really free. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and I think that the exploitation of sex workers is one of the worst.
But morale is very subjective, and sex work is a very complex matter, where a lot of people, most of them women, work in very dangerous conditions and in situations of extreme need.
This article is a not sense. There is not a monopoly of identity: a lot of corporations and big tech have an ID about us or, at least, about me.
Also, in my case, the state have paid most of my education, my healthcare, the street where I live... nor google not other big tech have paid a dime for it.
The critic in the article has his points, but the proposed solution—using capitalist enterprises to issue IDs—is nonsense. We will lose track of people from a fiscal point of view, and it will not solve the problem of the people that not any corporation would issue an ID.

Yes, they didn't get most of they demands. Most of the improvements on the living conditions of the working class has required a lot of failed intents before success.
The 48 weekly/hours, the payed holidays, the not land/proprietary owners right to vote... has required the blood of a lot of working class people to be obtained.
The western/bourgeois cultural-narrative, based in a natural evolution that warrants rights of the opressed class, has not historical sense.

No, you can use the debian installer without non-free-firmware (which by DFSG include firmware with binary blobs).
From that thread:
"Users who wish to disable firmware lookup entirely can do so by setting the firmware=never boot parameter. It's an alias for the longer hw-detect/firmware-lookup=never form."

Samar Badawi (1981 - )
Sun Jun 28, 1981
Image: **
--- Samar Badawi, born on this day in 1981, is a Saudi Arabian feminist activist who participated in the driving campaigns of 2011-12, sued the government for the right to vote, and was imprisoned by the state for her activism. Her brother, Raif Badawi, is also a civil rights activist who was imprisoned by the government, released on March 11th, 2022.
In 2011, Samar filed suit against the Saudi Arabian government for the right to vote, making her the first person to file a lawsuit for women's suffrage in the country.
Samar has been arrested multiple times for her activism and non-compliance with laws that restrict rights for women. This includes participating in a women's driving campaign, violating the law that prohibits women from driving, a law that was repealed in 2018.
After Badawi missed several trial dates relating to charges of disobedience under the Saudi Arabian male guardianship system (brought by her father, who physically abused her), she served six months in jail.
In 2018, Badawi and several other feminist activists were arrested by the Saudi authorities, sparking a major diplomatic dispute between Canada and Saudi Arabia when the former demanded Badawi's immediate release. In June 2021, Badawi was released from prison.

Walter Audisio (1909 - 1973)
Walter Audisio (1909 - 1973)
Mon Jun 28, 1909
--- Walter Audisio, born on this day in 1909, was an Italian partisan and politician who was the person most likely to have executed Benito Mussolini. After World War II, Audisio served in Parliament as a member of the Communist Party.
Audisio was a prodigious students and worked for some years as an accountant before joining a clandestine anti-fascist group in 1931. When the group was discovered by the fascist secret police, ORVA, Audisio was sentenced to five years confinement on the island of Ponza.
Released during World War II, he continued to resist the Mussolini's fascist government and, in September 1943, he started to organize the first bands of partisans in Casale Monferrato.
By January 1945, he had become a leading figure of the Italian resistance movement in Milan and began using the pseudonym "Colonnello Valerio", a name possibly also used by Luigi Longo.
It was as an official of the National Liberation Committee that he received the order to execute Mussolini and his mistress, who had been captured the day before.
Although it is not known with certainty who pulled the trigger (various figures, including Audisio, have claimed to have executed Mussolini), the version of events with Audisio being directly responsible are generally considered the most credible.
After the war, Audisio was elected to parliament for the Italian Communist Party, where he served for 20 years.
