想读 Song of Arirang
看到阿里郎就激動了。於是查wiki上看本書主人公兼作者金山究竟是誰，發現他卒於延安。我以為是病死的、老死的。仔細一看正文簡介，是在延安被處決的。這樣一位三一起義參與者、懷著拯救人民和祖國於水火的壯志遊歷遠東各國、精通至少五門外語、黃埔軍校畢業生……在偉大領袖主持的整風運動中，被揪出來是托派、日本間諜，慘死革命“聖地”。就在作為這本書基礎的採訪一年後，金山被毛共殺害。
關鍵在前兩天還看到一個韓裔左翼媒體在IG上發“北朝鮮反抗帝國主義”“科普”文宣，還貼了個毛臘肉盛讚朝鮮打破美帝不敗神話。本來已經留了兩個言罵他們了，這下更要問問你們真正的朝鮮人民英雄被愛豆毛主席槍斃有何感想。
作為一名精神韓國/朝鮮人，恨得在屋裡轉著圈罵。隊友說：“這個整風運動是有點兒兇。那會兒的人遭整風，現在的人看了也要遭整瘋……”

#art #history: i promised myself that this year would be the one during which i paid tribute to the revolutionary, frida kahlo (born #otd in 1907), & then i was too busy to do her any sort of justice. not only have i rushed her portrait, but i've also had no time to write up the sort of blurb that she merits. she was a death-defying, genre-spanning communist powerhouse & diego was punching waaaaaaaay up. :)

Today in Labor History November 9, 1918: Striking workers stormed the City Palace and the Rote Burg or "red fortress" in Berlin, freeing over 600 prisoners and declaring the buildings to be property of the people. Later that day, Karl Liebknecht, of the Spartacus League, stood on a truck and declared a Free Socialist Republic. This came on the heels of a General Strike, called the night before by the Revolutionary Stewards (union members who had opposed Germany’s participation in World War One), in which thousands of workers took to the streets, many of them armed. The soldiers and police who had been sent to suppress them, instead threw down their weapons and joined the revolution.

The revolution had begun in October, 1918 with the sailors’ mutiny in Kiel. Within a week, workers' and soldiers' councils controlled both the government and military institutions throughout the country. A Republic was declared on November 9, 1918. On November 10, workers formed the Council of the People’s Deputies, led by the two main socialist parties: the Social Democrats and the Independent Social Democrats. The Council promised to implement an eight-hour work day and to give women the vote. The left-wing factions of the revolution, like the Spartacists, also wanted to nationalize key industries, democratize the military, and replace the parliamentary government with one run by Workers’ Councils.

On January 1, 1919, Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg founded the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Discontent over the direction the Social Democrats were going led many other leftist groups to join the KPD. In early January, they attempted to overthrow the Social Democrats in the Spartacist Uprising. The Social Democrats called on the Freikorps, a paramilitary composed of World War One veterans, many of whom were suffering from PTSD, who ultimately quashed the uprising. 200 people died in the fighting. The Freikorps then murdered Luxemburg and Liebknecht in an extrajudicial execution. Members of the Freikorps later supported the Nazis rise to power. Many of them went on to join the SS.

Mao Zedong planted the seeds of people's power, while Chiang Kai-shek* pruned the old dying branches of bourgeois and reactionary nationalism.

*Chiang Kai-shek (1887–1975) was the leader of the Republic of China from 1928 until 1949 and then as the leader of the government in Taiwan until his death. He was the head of the Kuomintang (KMT), or the Nationalist Party, which was opposed to the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Marxism Summarized Part 1 of 3

Ever since the dissolution of primitive society, the history of humanity has consisted of class struggles between ruling classes and oppressed classes, and the ideas and systems of social organization have been a direct result of these class struggles.
