In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
Marx & Engels, Communist Manifesto (1848)

The revolution cannot satisfy everyone and everybody. One of its sides always satisfies the toiling masses, while the other strikes at the overt and covert enemies of the masses.
It is therefore necessary to choose: either with the workers and poor peasants for the revolution, or with the capitalists and landlords against the revolution.

On March 12, 1946, in Budapest, Hungarian communists executed fascists and Nazi collaborators, including Ferenc Szálasi and Ladislas Baky.
These individuals were responsible for the torture and murder of thousands of members of the Hungarian Communist Party. They also handed over Jews and Roma people to the Nazis, who then sent them to death camps like Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen.

Aaron Bushnell self-immolated on this day one year ago to call attention to the genocide in Palestine. A member of the US Air Force, Bushnell dressed in his military fatigues to self-immolate in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. After pouring a flammable liquid on himself, he repeated “Free Palestine” until he couldn’t speak anymore. He died shortly after.
On February 25, 2024, the morning of his self-immolation, Bushnell posted on Facebook: “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is you’re doing it. Right now.”
US leaders were silent on Bushnell’s extreme act of protest, and some media outlets labeled him as “mentally ill.” Bushnell’s sacrifice and courage have been honored by people from Yemen to Palestine, where there is now a street named after him in Jericho.
