#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember Camilo Cienfuegos, a Cuban revolutionary leader.
He was a fundamental pillar of the Cuban Revolution, also known as the “Vanguard Lord” and “Hero of Yaguajay” for his outstanding courage and his leadership and fighting skills.
Camilo was on the Granma expedition from Mexico to Cuba, which marked the beginning of the Cuban Revolution. During their time fighting in the Sierra Maestra, Camilo earned Fidel’s trust. After the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1st 1959, Camilo was appointed General Chief of Staff of the Rebel Army. 10 months after the triumph of the revolution, Cienfuegos was killed in a plane crash at age 27.
After his tragic passing, Fidel said, “men like Camilo Cienfuegos emerge from the people and live for the people. Our only compensation for the loss of a close associate is to know that the people of Cuba produce men like him. Camilo lives and lives in the people."

Strikes, boycott, parliamentarism, meetings and demonstrations are all good forms of struggle as means for preparing and organising the proletariat. But not one of these means is capable of abolishing existing inequality. All these means must be concentrated in one principal and decisive means; the proletariat must rise and launch a determined attack upon the bourgeoisie in order to destroy capitalism to its foundations. This principal and decisive means is the socialist revolution.

One of my favourite songs with the most beautiful lyrics.
A Rainy Night in Soho.
The Pogues.
I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys
Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I'd hear you talking in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first times
I never think about the last
Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams
A Rainy Night in Soho.
The Pogues.
I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys
Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I'd hear you talking in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first times
I never think about the last
Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

Ernst Thälmann went to his death 80 years ago, unbroken. Today, his words reach us from 1944, undimmed and admonishing:
"The history of our life is harsh, therefore it requires people who give themselves entirely to the cause... For to be a soldier of the revolution means to maintain unshakable loyalty to the cause, such loyalty that is proven by life and death, means to show unconditional reliability, confidence, courage and energy in the struggle in any situation.
Let the flame that overwhelms us, blazing in our hearts and illuminating our spirit, like a bright torch lead us across the battlefields of our lives.
Loyalty and firmness, strength of character and confidence in victory - these are the necessary qualities, and only they allow us to stand firm in the battle with fate and fulfill our revolutionary duty, the high historical mission entrusted to us and lead the cause to the final victory of genuine socialism."
