#PeoplesHistory | Norman Bethune was a committed communist and internationalist doctor who not only believed that health should always be a right for all but fought for a society that would make this a reality.
In his home in Canada, Bethune provided free healthcare for the poor during the onset of the Great Depression, learning from the example of the Soviet Union. After joining the Communist Party of Canada, he volunteered to join the fight against fascism in the Spanish Civil War. Shortly thereafter, he joined a medical brigade to support the Chinese people's struggle against fascism and imperialism in the Second Sino-Japanese War, supporting the Communist Party of China.

🇦🇷 "Since they didn't kill me, I have to be in prison."
The campaign of lawfare against former president and left-wing leader Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner continues. An appeals court ratified her guilty sentence in a trumped case full of inconsistencies and errors according to her supporters.
Thousands took to the streets to show their support for the leader of the Kirchnerismo and to let what they call the "Judicial Mafia" know that the Argentinian people support CFK.
CFK's defense will appeal the sentence of six years in prison and the life ban from politics, which seems to be the final goal of the right-wing judges.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, on his death anniversary, we remember the Black revolutionary and Pan-Africanist Marxist Kwame Ture, formerly Stokely Carmichael. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, he moved to the Bronx in his teens and organized with numerous organizations fighting to end racist, capitalist oppression in the United States. His revolutionary work made him a target of state repression and in 1968 he moved to Ghana.
