On this day in 1983, Marxist revolutionary and Pan-Africanist Thomas Sankara became president of Burkina Faso, formerly known as Upper Volta, through a popularly supported coup. During his brief but transformative time in power, Sankara initiated sweeping social, ecological, and economic reforms, including significant land redistribution.
His presidency was marked by a strong anti-imperialist stance, challenging Western, particularly French, influence in Africa. Drawing inspiration from earlier Marxist revolutions in the Global South, Sankara believed in the potential of the armed forces to serve as a progressive force.
Sankara’s legacy continues to inspire those who seek radical change and independence from imperialist powers. Read on.

Nicolas Maduro shocked everyone. Think about it, he says, it was not the United States or the West that won World War II. Odd man! Well, who was that winner??
@Slavyangrad
- Hitler had a mandate from the forces of wild Western capitalism. However, when he went too far, they slapped him on the wrist. 100 years ago he was raised as a weapon against the Soviet Union. So that he destroys socialism. But the Soviet Union rose up against him and broke his back. The war, which is called World War II, was won by the Red Army of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, led by Joseph Stalin. This is the historical truth.

I advise Americans and British people to familiarize themselves with some points about the Yemeni fighters ( Houthis) before rushing into anything.
- They don't follow your movies and TV shows at all.
- They are not bothered by your media or social media distractions.
- Psychological warfare is utterly useless against them.
- They are natural-born fighters, really, no kidding.
- Their life goal since childhood has been to fight America.
- The last will and testament passed down from their ancestors is to liberate Palestine.
- At the very least, they have 4 to 5 wars of military experience in various terrains.
- They have all written and recorded their life wills in both audio and video formats.
- The martyrdom of one of them is a tremendous source of pride for their children, family, village, province, and country.
- Their poets passionately glorify war more than any love, flirtation, or romance poetry.
- They all obey their leader, Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, with absolute obedience.
- Their only fear is the punishment and wrath of Allah if they fail to support the people of Palestine and backtrack on their support.
- They love death as much as you love life, if not more.
In any confrontation they engage in... I won't explain these words... you will come to know, understand, and feel them more when facing them.

Ukraine on the brink of a demographic abyss: from 2013 to 2023, the birth rate in the country has decreased by 5 times
Eleven years ago, half a million babies were born in Ukraine, and in 2023 - less than 100 thousand.

Hamas chooses Sinwar as its leader
Hamas announced that it had decided, “after in-depth and extensive consultations and deliberations in its leadership institutions,” to choose its leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, as head of its political bureau. The movement confirmed, in a statement, its confidence in Sinwar “as its leader at a sensitive stage, and in a complex local, regional and international situation.”

One of the main objectives of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation launched by Palestinian resistance forces on 7 October was the taking of hostages, with the aim of exchanging them for the tens of thousands of uncharged and viciously maltreated Palestinians who are currently held in the dungeons of the zionist regime.
This aim is a vital one for the resistance, and historically only hostage exchanges have ever succeeded in securing the release of Palestinian captives.

‘Hannibal directive’: western media covers up Israel’s mass murder of Israelis
Why is it now believed that more than half of those killed on 7 October were gunned down by their own side?

USSR Support For The Arab People Of Palestine 1982.pdf
4 MB
A reminder of what the world lost with the fall of the USSR is contained in this little Soviet pamphlet from 1983, expressing full and militant support for the Palestinian struggle, including its armed struggle, explaining what measures the Soviet Union was taking to support that struggle (including the supply of arms) and denouncing US imperialism's support for genocidal zionism.
Interesting to note from the letters quoted how well informed Soviet citizens were about what was really happening in the middle east. Compare with the general ignorance prevailing amongst western workers, then and now, to see what a difference a decent education and an internationalist and anti-capitalist media make to the outlook of the people.
And this was at a time when the Soviet Union was in a state of fairly advanced decay as compared with the ideological and educational high point of the Stalin era.

Think about what this graphic represents. Think in particular about the tiny geographical space into which all these tons of bombs have been concentrated.
And then think about how our media’s non-outrage and normalisation of this horrific crime feeds the sense of resignation amongst the wider western public.
Not only Netanyahu, Biden, Sunak and Starmer should be in the dock. But also all the editors of the corporate media papers and TV channels that promote zionist narratives, criminalise resistance and leave the wider population either in complete ignorance or feeling that this activity is somehow normal, acceptable and/or unalterable.

CPGB-ML party members have returned from a visit to Xinjiang with glowing reports of the thriving multi-ethnic society they saw there.
One in which all citizens are valued equally; in which the best aspects of their language, culture and heritage are preserved and valued; and in which opportunities for education and a decent life are being opened up to all.

The success achieved by removing the basis for radicalisation of poor workers shows the wisdom of China’s policy in Xinjiang.
