#Vietnam fought a very long time for #freedom & #sovereignty from #ForeignOccupation / #ForeignRule / #ForeignPuppets.

#ForeignInvaders created strong lines of #Vietnamese #revolutionaries.

Long live Vietnam 🇻🇳 🙏

#Revolutionaries behind the 1908 Hanoi Poison Plot detained at the Hoa Lo Prison by the French colonists in 1941.

13 of them had their heads chopped off instantly and displayed in public. The French later used the photo for an #Indochina #propaganda postcard.

Whilst the second world war was raging across the world, in Vietnam the #VietMinh #Liberation Movement, led by famed revolutionary Ho Chi Minh, was taking birth. #HoChiMinh had one dream. An independent Vietnam free of foreign rule.

The first year after the war had Japan, and then Britain keen to get their hands on Vietnam. But they were soon replaced by Vietnam’s old colonial rulers: the French.

For nine long years, thereafter, from 1946 to 1954 the First Indochina War ripped across the country. Spilling blood, lives, and peace. On one side were the French. More adamant to stay. More aggressive in their rule. They were helped by the US who provided advisers, funding, and weapons from behind the scenes.
Anti-communist Vietnamese loyalists aided the French rulers’ legitimacy. On the other side was Ho Chi Minh and his revolutionaries.

Things eventually came to a head in 1954 with the Geneva Conference and creation of the 17th Parallel, a Demilitarized Zone [DMZ] on 17 degrees latitude north.

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply

Feb 25

For Black History Month I curated a list of Black folks in the arts who haven’t just given white folks fodder for cultural appropriation. They’ve moved the needle by inspiring change and creating friction.

These are people who have fueled resistance against systemic inequities. People who make many white folks uncomfortable.

Maybe some of their names are new to you. Please say hello.

" ... Those who wish to conserve the American #liberal #democratic order are fighting a rearguard action not against “#conservatives” in any coherent sense of that term, but against #radical #revolutionaries who are trying to completely destroy the established legal and political order of society. That these radical revolutionaries happen to be, ideologically speaking, #reactionaries rather than #leftists can obscure the fact that they are trying to raze the American political project to its foundation, and not leave a stone standing."

The new conservatives - Lawyers, Guns & Money

Like any other ancient political concept, the word “conservative” can mean a wide variety of things. In this regard it’s no different than words like “liberal,” or “socialist,” or “fascist” — concepts that have historically situated core meanings, and that inevitably generate plenty of edge cases. The terminology can become quite confused, so for example […]

"What Is #Crimethink?

Crimethink is everything that evades control: the daydream in the classroom, the renegade breaking ranks, the spray-painted walls that continue to speak even under martial law. It is the persistent sense that things could be otherwise, that there is nothing natural or inevitable about the prevailing social order. In a world optimized for administration, everything that cannot be classified or displayed on a screen is crimethink. It is the spirit of rebellion without which freedom is literally unthinkable.
What Is CrimethInc.?

CrimethInc. is a #RebelAlliance — a secret society pledged to the propagation of crimethink. It is a think tank producing ideas and action, a sphinx posing questions fatal to the superstitions of our age.

CrimethInc. is a banner for anonymous collective action. It is not a membership organization, but a mouthpiece for longings that extend throughout the population at large. Anyone can be CrimethInc. — it could be your next-door neighbor or the person sitting beside you on the bus. You and your friends already constitute an affinity group, the organizational model best suited to guerrilla tactics, ready to go into action against all the forces that threaten your freedom.

CrimethInc. is an international network of aspiring #revolutionaries extending from #Kansas to #KualaLumpur. For over twenty years, we have published news, analysis, books, journals, posters, videos, podcasts, and a wide range of other resources — all copyright free, produced and distributed by volunteer labor, without reliance on external funding or market trends. We also coordinate speaking tours, debates, and various other public events. Though we rarely seek public recognition for our efforts, everything we do is informed by our participation in social movements.

CrimethInc. is a desperate venture. As this society lurches ever closer to annihilation, we are staking everything on the possibility that we could kick open the escape hatch to another future. Rather than competing for social capital or selling ourselves to the highest bidder, we have thrown ourselves completely into the struggle for a better world. We invite you to do the same."
