Today in Labor History April 10, 1919: Mexican troops ambushed and assassinated Emiliano Zapata, revolutionary indigenous and peasant leader. Zapata’s Rebel Army of the South played a major role in the overthrow of the dictator, Porfirio Diaz, defeating the federal army in the Battle of Cuautla in 1911. Also in 1911, Zapata began implementing the Plan de Ayala, redistributing land in the regions controlled by his army to peasant farmers. However, when former revolutionary Madero took over, he disavowed the Zapatistas, calling them simple bandits. He implemented a scorched earth policy, burning villages and imprisoning survivors in forced labor camps, in his quest to hunt down Zapata. Madero’s successor, Venustiano Carranza, continued his scorched earth policies and finally succeeded in killing Zapata in 1919.

The socialism we propose is radically different from the models that dominated the last century or from any statist or dictatorial regime: it is a revolutionary project, radically democratic, to which feminist, ecological, anti-racist, anti-colonialist, antimilitarist and LGBTQI+ struggles contribute.
Everyone could have a good life on Earth, but capitalism is an exploitative, macho, racist, warlike, authoritarian and deadly mode of predation. In two centuries, it has led humanity into a deep ecosocial impasse. Productivism is destructivism. The overexploitation of natural resources, rampant extractivism, the pursuit of maximum short-term yields, deforestation and land-use change are leading to a collapse of biodiversity, that is, of life itself.

Fourth InternationalManifesto for an ecosocialist revolution – Break with capitalist growthIntroductionThis Manifesto is a document of the Fourth International, founded in 1938 by Leon Trotsky and his comrades to save the legacy of the October Revolution from Stalinist disaster. Rejecting sterile dogmatism, the Fourth International has integrated the challenges of social movements and the ecological crisis into its thinking and practice.

Ich bin gespannt, ob die das umsetzen, denn das wäre eine kleine #Revolution und ein echter Schritt in Richtung #Mobilitätswende.

Aktuell bezuschussen wir alle diejenigen, die Auto fahren, mit rund 5000 Euro pro Jahr und PKW. Nimmt man diese Aussage ernst, wird sich der Preis des Autofahrens praktisch verdoppeln, wenn die Quersubventionierung wegfällt und die wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Vorteile von Radverkehr und ÖPNV in diese Bereiche gehen und nicht in die Subventionierung von Autofahrten.

Alleine, ich glaube nicht dran.

Today In Labor History April 9, 1918: Members of the anarchist Black Guards confiscated the car of the American ambassador to Russia in Moscow, demanding the release of prisoners in the US. The Black Guards were armed groups of workers that formed after the February Revolution. They were the main military wing of the anarchists. The first Black Guards were created in Ukraine by Maria Nikiforova (Marusia), an anarchist terrorist from the age of 16, who eventually became Deputy leader of the Oleksandrivsk Revolutionary committee. She created the Black Guards to force land reform and redistribution. Similar cells were later created by Nestor Makhno, and she later participated in the anarchist free state of Makhnovia. The last Black Guards were quashed by the Cheka, under orders from Trotsky, on April 11-12, 1918.

Die übersehene #Revolution

Zwischen der realen Entwicklung erneuerbarer Energien und dem medialen Bild davon klafft eine bizarre Lücke. Erst vergangene Woche wurde eine Sensation verkündet, aber kaum jemand bekam sie mit.

"Der Anteil der erneuerbaren Energien am gesamten Kapazitätszuwachs beim Strom auf dem Planeten Erde lag:

2022 bei 80 Prozent

2023 bei 86 Prozent

2024 bei 92,5 Prozent" spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch #Erneuerbare

DER SPIEGEL · Strom aus Sonne und Wind: Die übersehene RevolutionBy Christian Stöcker

"When your work calls you to cover someone's shift... First of all.... I don't even want to work my own shifts."

And remember folks, Doing nothing IS a #revolution-ary act... 'all you have to do is put your hands in your pockets, and you have them by their #capitalists balls', to modernize #IWW co-founder BIG Bill Haywood's infamous quote.

Ps. You don't hate #mondays
You hate #Capitalism

Today In Labor History April 7, 1870: German-Jewish anarchist and pacifist, Gustav Landauer, was born. He was friends with, and influenced, the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. He served as the Commissioner of Enlightenment and Public Instruction during the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, during the German Revolution of 1918–1919, but was killed when the republic was overthrown. He was also the grandfather of film director, Mike Nichols (The Odd Couple, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Graduate).

Today In Labor History April 7, 1804: Haitian general, Toussaint Louverture died on this day. He was one of the most prominent members of the Haitian revolution for independence from France. The slave revolt against the French began in 1791 with the call by Dutty Boukman, a vodou priest. Encouraged by the French and American revolutions. Louverture led 100,000 enslaved Haitians in revolt, winning their freedom in 1793. In 1804, Haiti became first free black republic in the world. The U.S. refused to recognize Haiti for the next 70 and France extracted millions in restitution, destroying any hope of ever moving out of deep poverty. Louverture was betrayed in the end and died in prison. For a fantastic history of the Haitian Revolution, read “The Black Jacobins,” by C.L.R.James.

"At a very human, emotional, and even cognitive or phenomenological level, a person is always reacting to what they see or hear or feel. An individual does not really stand up, open their front door, and walk to the square in the center of the capital because of inflation. Not for that reason alone..." -Vincent Bevins, If We Burn

"Revolution" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

"there they were, singing and showing up despite,
and this was the moment that made me believe
in the path—not just the grand marches toward freedom,
but also the thin trails marked with courage and creativity,
small moments I can follow like bread crumbs
till this country again feels like home."
