The finance aristocracy, in its mode of acquisition as well as in its pleasures, is nothing but the rebirth of the lumpenproletariat on the heights of bourgeois society.

96 years ago the great Argentine revolutionary Errnesto Guevara was born. Known to the whole world simply as 'Che'. His image has come to stand for revolts of many kinds but he was, above everything else, a Marxist-Leninist, pan American revolutionary whose legacy includes vital lessons for us on revolutionary organisation, economics under socialism and the revolt of the neo-colonial world.

We salute his revolutionary legacy!

My comrade Alex here discusses the relationship between patriotism and the Proletariat. This is definitely important watching for all workers.

For the oranges not yet picked from the trees nourished by the blood of our martyrs, and for the keys hung around necks far from home, we persevere. For the echoes of our children still ricocheting through the valleys of Palestine, and for the whistling of rockets lighting the skies above our homeland, we push forward. For the bravery of our fighters, who carry on their shoulders not only the weight of Palestine but also the weight of striking a blow on behalf of all the oppressed from the far corners of the world, we honor you.

🔻 and ⭕️ converge on the enemy, our martyrs' pure blood intermingled in the field, from Gaza to Lebanon, from Iraq to Syria and Yemen. No borders stand between us; the fields are united.

Happy Father's Day comrades!

On a day off - go for a tourist walk!

Although western monopolies have generated huge profits in arms sales over the last two years, their weapons have not lived up to the marketing hype.

It has been clear since 2022 that Nato has no realistic way to win, but despite this the imperialists continue to fuel the conflict with unlimited subsidies and continue to demand the ritual sacrifice of untold thousands more Ukrainians.

All in a desperate quest to destroy a sovereign and independent Russia by any means necessary.

This is the text of a paper I delivered in Madrid just over a week ago, when the World Anti-imperialist Platform (@PlatformNews2) held a conference about the ongoing development of a third world war.

📄 Article by Vladimir Putin in "Rodong Sinmun" newspaper, Russia and the DPRK: Traditions of Friendship and Cooperation Through the Years

Read in full

💬 On the eve of my state visit to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, I would like to address the Korean and foreign audience of the "Rodong Sinmun" newspaper to share my thoughts on the prospects for partnership between our states and on their role in the modern world.

🇷🇺🇰🇵 The relations of friendship and neighbourliness between Russia and the DPRK, based on the principles of equality, mutual respect and trust, go back more than seven decades and are rich in glorious historical traditions. Our peoples cherish the memory of their difficult joint struggle against Japanese militarism and honour the heroes who fell in it. In August 1945, Soviet soldiers, fighting shoulder to shoulder with Korean patriots, defeated the Kwantung Army, liberated the Korean peninsula from colonisers, and opened the way for the Korean people to develop independently. <...>

The Soviet Union was the first among the world’s states to recognise the young Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and establish diplomatic relations with it. As early as on March 17, 1949, when the founder of the DPRK Comrade Kim Il Sung paid his first visit to Moscow, the USSR and the DPRK signed the Agreement on Economic and Cultural Cooperation, establishing a legal framework for further strengthening of their bilateral interaction. Our country helped the Korean friends to build their national economy, create a healthcare system, develop science and education, and train professional administrative and technical staff.

In 1950–1953, during the difficult years of the Fatherland Liberation War, the Soviet Union also extended a helping hand to the people of the DPRK and supported them in their struggle for independence. Later on, the Soviet Union provided significant assistance in restoring and strengthening the national economy of the young Korean state and in building a peaceful life.

<...>

Today, as before, Russia and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are actively advancing their multifaceted partnership.

<...>

I am convinced that our joint efforts will take our bilateral interaction to a higher level, which will facilitate mutually beneficial and equal cooperation between Russia and the DPRK, strengthen our sovereignty, promote trade and economic ties, people-to-people contacts and, ultimately, improve the well-being of the citizens of both states.

I would like to extend wishes of good health to Comrade Kim Jong Un and those of peace and great success on the path of development – to the friendly people of the DPRK.

Dialectics is the teaching which shows how Opposites can be and how they happen to be (how they become) identical,—under what conditions they are identical, becoming transformed into one another,—why the human mind should grasp these opposites not as dead, rigid, but as living, conditional, mobile, becoming transformed into one another.

It is man’s social being that determines his thinking. Once the correct ideas characteristic of the advanced class are grasped by the masses, these ideas turn into a material force which changes society and changes the world.
