@DropBear@serge There is so much wrong with your post that it would take forever to properly unpack... Primarily you are tokenizing Jews via one of the most fringe sects out there. Secondly, you fundamentally do not understand what Zionism is.
You are either spewing #Soviet#propaganda or you disagree with this characterization. The only way you can remove any doubt is by citing your own reliable source(s) from where you got this idea.
After 75 years of failure, one would imagine that a people would learn what works and what doesn’t, both from their own experience, as well as the experience of others.
Decades after 1948, #Soviet propaganda would cast #Israel’s birth as a venture in #imperialism. But as the historian Jeffrey Herf’s 2022 book Israel’s Moment shows, it was #imperialists in Western governments who were most hostile to #Zionism, and anti-imperialists both in the Western left and #Communists and #socialists in both East and West who were most sympathetic.
The old #Soviet#joke about a man who stands near the Kremlin handing out leaflets: when the police finally arrest him, they see that the leaflets are all blank. “Well,” the man says, “everyone knows what’s wrong, why should I write it down?”
#Ukraine has reportedly shot down multiple #Russian planes using an old #Soviet-made S-200 air defense system that was scrapped by Ukraine a decade earlier and revitalized after the start of the full-scale invasion.
Dolores is an utterly charming and beautiful soul and I feel very lucky that I got to spend so much time in her company for this article – the first ever about her in the English language, I believe!
Brainwashing and personality cult have reached such proportions in #Russia that citizens are blaming #NATO and #Ukraine for the meanness of their top authorities and are asking Tsar #Putin for help
@Zettelnotizen this comes straight from the times of the Russian Tsardom: the serfs implore the #Autocrat to help them to deal with the local Bojar.
Instead, accusing an incompetent/unwanted politician of conspiring with foreign powers to destabilize #Russia comes directly from the #Soviet Penal Code: this motivation was widely use to purge party members.
The Autocrat role is to decide whether to use the plea of the serfs to purge the bojar, or to allow the bojar to punish the serfs.
In the Russian Empire, there were several political institutions called "Soviets", which were advisory councils to the ruling Emperors.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Soviets emerged as organs of revolutionary power, with Vladimir Lenin proposing the motto "All power to the Soviets!"
Today in Labor History March 29, 1951: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed at Sing Sing in 1953. The Rosenberg’s sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol (adopted by Abel Meeropol, the composer of “Strange Fruit,”), maintained their parents’ innocence. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, decoded Soviet cables showed that their father had, in fact, collaborated, but that their mother was innocent. They continued to fight for the mother’s pardon, but Obama refused to grant it. The Rosenberg’s sons were among the last students to attend the anarchist Modern School, in Lakewood, New Jersey, before it finally shut its doors in 1958.
Today in Labor History March 23, 1918: 101 IWW members went on trial in Chicago for opposing World War I and for violating the Espionage Act. In September, 1917, 165 IWW leaders were arrested for conspiring to subvert the draft and encourage desertion. Their trial lasted five months, the longest criminal trial in American history up to that time. The jury found them all guilty. The judge sentenced Big Bill Haywood and 14 others to 20 years in prison. 33 others were given 10 years each. They were also fined a total of $2,500,000. The trial virtually destroyed the IWW. Haywood jumped bail and fled to the USSR, where he remained until his death 10 years later.
German mathematician Emmy Noether was born #OTD in 1882.
One of her most significant contributions is Noether's Theorem, which establishes a fundamental connection between symmetries & conservation laws in physics. This theorem has had profound implications in fields such as quantum mechanics, particle physics & field theory. Despite facing discrimination as a woman in academia during her time, Noether persevered & made enduring contributions to mathematics and physics.
After the Nazis took power she tried to go back to the #SovietUnion but she failed.
On the other hand, her brother Fritz was able to move to the Soviet Union, but then he was arrested during #Stalin's Great Purge and subsequently he was killed in a mass execution ordered by the #Soviet regime.
How #water is used as a weapon of war following #Russia ’s invasion of #Ukraine . An irrigation system, once created at #Stalin ’s order as a project of grand #Soviet social engineering, is now running dry. We dig into the history of the #Crimean water dispute - the surprising twists and turns and the narratives constructed by both Russia and Ukraine, on #TheGlobalJigsaw:
Today in Labor History March 13, 1968: Student demonstrations in Warsaw led to street riots. All Polish universities went out on strike against the repressive communist regime, with students occupying the campus buildings. The strike, which came in the wake of Soviet withdrawals of diplomatic relations with Israel, in the protest of the 1967 war, spread throughout the country, leading to a violent government crackdown and antisemitic purge that was branded as anti-Zionism. Thousands of Jews fled the country because of political harassment and being fired from their jobs.
Today in Labor History March 11, 1919: Ukrainian Jewish anarchist Mollie Steimer was arrested in New York City and charged with inciting to riot. She was charged with sedition and eventually deported to Soviet Russia, where she met her lifelong partner Senya Fleshin. The two agitated for the rights of anarchist political prisoners in the USSR. The authorities there deported her again, this time to western Europe, where she and Fleshin organized aid for political prisoners. With the rise of the Nazis in Europe, she and Fleshin fled to Mexico, where they spent the rest of their lives working as photographers. She died in 1980.
Today in Labor History March 9, 1879: Anarchist militant and IWW organizer, Carlo Tresca, was born. Tresca was an outspoken opponent of fascism in Germany and Italy, and of Soviet Communism. He was one of the main organizers of the Patterson Silk Strike. He was assassinated in 1943 by an unknown assailant, presumably a fascist or the Mafia. Some believe the Soviets killed him in retaliation for his criticism of Stalin. The most recent research suggests it was the Bonanno crime family, in response to his criticism of the mafia and Mussolini.
Today in Labor History March 8, 1911: The first modern International Women’s Day was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany and the U.S. IWD has its roots in the suffrage movement of New Zealand, and leftist labor organizing in the U.S. and Europe. The earliest Women’s Days were organized by the Socialist Party of America, in New York, in 1909, and by German socialists in 1910. They chose the date of March 8 in honor of the garment workers strikes in New York that occurred on March 8, in 1857 and 1908. However, the first IWD celebrated on March 8, the current date, was in 1911. The holiday was associated primarily with far-left movements until the feminist movement adopted it in the 1960s, when it became a more mainstream celebration.
#Macron said he could envision sending troops to #Ukraine only if #Russia breaks through towards #Odesa / #Kyiv, said the leader of an opposition party.
The French government said their forces would only act as instructors or demining specialists.
Today in Labor History March 1, 1921: Anarchist and leftwing communist soldiers and sailors rose up against the Russian Bolsheviks in the Kronstadt uprising. The rebellion, which lasted until March 16, was the last major revolt against the Bolsheviks. It began when they sent delegates to Petrograd in solidarity with strikes going on in that city, and demanded the restoration of civil rights for workers, economic and political freedom for workers and peasants, including free speech, and that soviet councils include anarchists and left socialists. The Bolshevik forces, directed by Trotsky, killed over 1,000 Kronstadt rebels in battle, and executed another 2,100 in the aftermath. As many as 1,400 government troops died in their attempt to quash the rebellion.
