"At no time and in no circumstances should a Communist place his personal interests first; he should subordinate them to the interests of the nation and of the masses. Hence, selfishness, slacking, corruption, seeking the limelight, and so on, are most contemptible, while selflessness, working with all one's energy, whole-hearted devotion to public duty, and quiet hard work will command respect."

French resistance fighter, poet, journalist, and lifelong communist Madeleine Riffaud passed away yesterday at 100 years old. At 19 years old, she killed a Nazi in the middle of the streets in Paris. She was arrested, tortured, and narrowly escaped execution. She later commanded a unit that helped liberate Paris.
Riffaud went on to become one of France’s first anti-colonial activists, reporting on the Algerian and Vietnamese liberation wars. She survived an assassination attempt by the Organisation Armée Secrète (a far-right paramilitary group opposed to Algerian independence).

"Welcome to school!"
In 1935, by a decree of the Council of People's Commissars and the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, a universal day for the start of classes in all schools of the USSR was established - September 1st.
Until then, no such thing had existed. During the time of Peter the Great, in some schools, education began at the end of August, in mid-September or October. Many rural literacy schools, up until the 20th century, only began to work on December 1st.
The Day of Knowledge, which is celebrated on September 1st, was officially introduced in 1984.
Artist: Z.Pravdina, 1955.

"We won the Battle of Kursk because we knew exactly what the enemy was planning.
We had carefully prepared our defenses, and when the Germans attacked, they were met with an impenetrable wall of fire and steel. The enemy was bled dry, and then we struck back with overwhelming force."

Blood for Profits - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped some truth bombs about the capital interests in Ukraine and the real master of the US Empire: BlackRock
Trannoscript:
"It's a war that should have never happened. It's a war the Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very, very beneficial to Ukraine and us. The major thing they wanted was for us to keep NATO out of the Ukraine.
The big military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the time. Why?
Because then that country has to conform its military purchases to NATO weapon specifications, which means certain companies — Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing and Lockheed [Martin] — get trapped in the market.
In March of 2022, we committed $113 billion. Just to give you an example, we could have built a home for almost every homeless person in this country. We then committed another $24 billion since then, two months ago, and now President Biden is asking for another $60 billion.
But the big, big expenses are going to come after the war, when we have to rebuild all the things that we destroyed.
Mitch McConnell was asked, can we really afford to spend $113 billion in Ukraine? He said, don't worry. It's not really going to Ukraine. It's going to American defense manufacturers.
So he just admitted it's a money laundering scheme.
But who do you think owns every one of those companies? BlackRock.
Yeah, BlackRock.
So Tim Scott, during the Republican debate, said, don't worry. It's not a gift to Ukraine. It's a loan. So raise your hand if you think that that loan is ever getting paid back. Yeah, of course it's not. So why do they call it a loan? Because if they call it a loan, they can impose loan conditions.
And what are the loan conditions that we impose on?
Number one, an extreme austerity program, so that if you're poor in Ukraine, you're going to be poor forever.
Number two, most important, Ukraine has to put all of its government-owned assets up for sale to multinational corporations, including all of its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe, in Ukraine.
There's been 1,000 years of war fought over that land. It's the richest farmland in the world. It's the breadbasket of Europe. 500,000 kids, almost, Ukrainian kids have died to keep that land as part of Ukraine. They almost certainly didn't know about this loan condition.
They've already sold 30% of it. The buyers were DuPont, Cargill, and Monsanto. Who do you think owns all of those companies? Yeah, BlackRock.
And then, in December [2023], President Biden gave out the contract to rebuild Ukraine. And who do you think got that contract? BlackRock.
So they're doing this right in front of us. They don't even care that we know anymore, because they know that they can get away with it. And how do they know that? Because they have a strategy, and that strategy is an old, old strategy, which is they keep us at war with each other. They keep us hating on each other. They keep the Republicans and Democrats fighting each other, and black against white, and all these divisions that they sow."

Crisis-struck Western capitalism of today is just as "pregnant" with fascism as is was a hundred years ago. Which means, that the objective conditions are ripening for the working classes of this earth to overthrow for good the whole damn imperialistic system of exploitation, plunder and war.
The threatened big capital will counter this momentum from growing and will not hesitate to eliminate any real resistance, beginning with the truth tellers in the empirial core. Sooner than we imagine, the underground press of Nazi-occupied Europe might be necessary once again.
