Today is the anniversary of the Portuguese Revolution of 1974, also known as the Carnation Revolution, that brought the longest dictatorship in Western Europe to an end.

On this day in 1974, Portugal’s 40-year-old fascist dictatorship was overthrown, ultimately ushering in parliamentary democracy and the end of Portugal’s colonial wars in Africa, leading to independence for Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé e Príncipe. ⁠

As hundreds of thousands of people became politically active and workers took over their factories and farms, the overthrow of the regime not only led to the downfall of the Portuguese Empire, but also brought Portugal to the brink of a socialist revolution, bringing socialism back on the agenda in Europe for the first time in decades.⁠

There was a request for books on Stalin so I'll note the 3 essential ones I've read below.

Ludo Martens - Another View of Stalin
Grover Furr - Khruschev Lied
Domenico Losurdo - Stalin - History and Critique of a Black Legend
Isaac Deutscher - Biography of Stalin

Deutscher is Trotskys biographer and was very dmuch aligned with him. However his Biography of Stalin is instructive because it comes from a hostile source who has to address the achievements of the Stalin era.

10% of the world's inhabitants are hungry, while people throw away 17% of all food.

This is stated in the report on food recycling in the world, which was presented by the UN Environment Program.

It shows that 17% of all edible food on Earth goes to waste. At the same time, 783 million people in the world live in a state of constant hunger. This is almost 10% of the world's population.

On average, every inhabitant of the Earth throws away about 79 kilograms of food products that are of no use to them every year. The average US resident throws away 115 kg of “extra” food, a European – 65 kg, a Russian – 56 kg. The total volume of food waste in 2022 was 1.05 billion tons. That's about 1 billion meals a day.

The largest share of food – 60% – is thrown away by individual consumers and households. About 28% falls on the share of public catering, 12% remains unclaimed in retail stores and supermarkets.

The UN emphasizes that “extra” food is thrown away not only in rich countries. The amount of food waste per family in high-, middle- and low-income countries differs by no more than 10%.

99 years ago, on April 10, 1925, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee decided to rename Tsaritsyn to Stalingrad, and the Tsaritsyn province to the Stalingrad province in commemoration of the merits of I.V. Stalin as the organizer of the defense of Tsaritsyn in 1918-1919. Under this name, the city will go down in world history as a symbol of the perseverance and heroism of the Soviet people and victory over fascism.

"In its struggle for power the proletariat has no other weapon but organisation. Disunited by the rule of anarchical competition in the bourgeois world, ground down by forced labour for capital, constantly thrust back into the 'lower depths' of utter destitution, savagery and degeneration, the proletariat can and will inevitably become an invincible force only when its ideological unification in accordance with the principles of Marxism is consolidated by the material unity of and organisation, which welds millions of toilers into an army of the working class."

Lenin
