Gandhi and the MYTH of non-violence
RevSocialist اش... — Tue, 02/23/2010 - 16:10
I was never a big supporter of Gandhi, or non-violence, but I did respect Gandhi for his resistance to British colonial rule. But after reading this pamphlet I have lost all respect in Gandhi and now actively dislike him for more than his stupid policy of non-violence. Even when I was a child I always liked the idea of the Sepoy Mutiny and Boxer Rebellion which were very violent. This pamphlet, which was put out by the Socialist Alternative (australia), argues very well against Gandhi’s actions, policies, and reactionary views.
Malcolm X speaking at the Oxford Union in 1967

This is the speech of Malcolm's in which he said one of his most well-known phrases (and one of my favorites): "I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he’s wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil." A while back I was searching for this quote, yet all I found out was that it was spoken during his Oxford Union adress in 1967. I couldn’t find anywhere the text for this speech, either in my own literature, or online.

Today, 13 Febuary 2010, is the 65th commemoration of the english and amerikkkan fire-bombing massacre perpetrated against the civilian population of Dresden. As we remember these victims, we should keep in mind the present-day victims of english and amerikkkan bombing massacres which continue to happen every day.
Oppressed and Oppressors by Antonio Gramsci

I have been reading lately some of Gramsci’s pre-prison writings, and I must say that they are very interesting. I especially liked this essay (written by Antonio Gramsci at the age of 19/20 (i.e. in 1911) at his secondary school in Cagliari, Sardinia), and hope my children write secondary school essays as good as this! Anyway, please read comrades, it is a good introduction to Gramsci if you have not read him before, and if you have it is still very interesting to read:
