On this day in 1891, influential Italian Marxist theorist, intellectual, and Communist Party leader Antonio Gramsci was born. After Benito Mussolini's fascists took power, communism was outlawed, Gramsci was arrested and sentenced to 11 years in prison where he died on April 27, 1937.
Gramsci was considered one of the greatest minds of his time and was even revered by his political enemies. Mussolini said that Gramsci had "an unquestionably powerful brain." When he was on trial, the prosecutor also argued that it was necessary to "prevent this brain from functioning for twenty years."
During his time in prison, Gramsci filled over 30 notebooks with his writings, later entitled "The Prison Notebooks". One of his most famous theories was "cultural hegemony," which explained how the ruling classes maintained their control over the masses through ideological and cultural means. This theory expanded on Marx's view that "the ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas," the theory that the ruling class maintains its influence over institutions such as schools, churches, and the media to influence the thoughts and expectations of the rest of society. This allows the worldview of the ruling class to be legitimized and therefore ensures the continuation of capitalism.
Gramsci also developed the idea of an "organic crisis," a crisis that impacts every aspect of the capitalist system: economic, ideological, cultural, environmental, etc. A crisis like this would demonstrate the fundamental contradictions in the system that the ruling class would be unable to resolve, therefore weakening hegemony. It would also make revolutionary change more likely.

Amidst the massive protests against the far-right AfD in Berlin this weekend, Germans protesters spat at and verbally abused pro-Palestine activists, taunting them with chants of "all of Berlin is with Israel."
The organizers from the climate change activist network Fridays for Future also collaborated with the police to separate the pro-Palestine activists from the otherwise predominantly white-German demonstration. In contrast, the Palestinian bloc consisted mostly of activists from a migrant background and many from the LGBTQ+ community.
While the pro-Palestine activists had joined the call to unite against fascism, the organizers' decision to exclude them made it clear that they share more in common with the AfD than they are prepared to admit: both racism towards Palestinians and support for the most deadly fascism currently on the planet, Zionism, which is perpetrating a genocide in Gaza.
The prospect of an AfD government poses the greatest threat to the Palestinian community in Germany, as the party has rejected accepting refugees from Gaza, demanded an end to all aid to Palestine, and proposed deporting all migrants, including those with German citizenship, disproportionately affecting the Palestinian diaspora.
The SPD and Green parties, both in the governing coalition, as well as the main opposition party, the CDU, have increasingly been coopting the anti-AfD protests, which have no concrete demands. All these parties, along with the AfD, are among the staunchest supporters of Israel's genocide in Gaza and have been complicit in anti-migrant policies that have caused the deaths of tens of thousands at the EU's borders.
While the protests have been triggered by revelations of the AfD's plot to deport migrants en masse, including those with German citizenship, Chancellor Olaf Scholz himself said at the onset of Israel's genocide against Palestinians last year, that Germany should “finally deport on a large scale those who have no right to stay” in the country.

Today in 1905, Russian Tsar Nicholas II's troops perpetrated the Bloody Sunday Massacre, gunning down at least 1,000 protesters. The bloodshed sparked the 1905 Revolution, which Vladimir Lenin dubbed "the great dress rehearsal" for the 1917 October Revolution.
By 1905, Russia was crumbling under Tsar Nicholas' catastrophic rule while socialist revolutionaries, including exiled Vladimir Lenin, organized to topple him.
With living standards becoming ever more miserable, on Jan 22, 150,000 industrial and textile workers, accompanied by their families and children, protested in St. Petersburg. They marched towards the tsar's Winter Palace to deliver a petition demanding reforms. The petition was written by Georgy Gapon, an Orthodox priest of Ukrainian origin.
As they approached the palace, they were met with a hail of bullets from the Imperial Troops. The police put the death toll at least 1,000, while anti-government critics said as many as 4,000 were killed.
Until the massacre, Gapon had put his faith in the tsar whom he had been petitioning to reform. After it, he called for full-scale revolution, saying: "Today a river of blood divides [the tsar] from the Russian people. It is time for the Russian workers to begin the struggle for the people’s freedom without him."
The massacre marked a turning point in Russian history, sparking a wave of strikes, protests, and insurrection that lasted more than two years and gave birth to the Bolshevik leadership. In late January 1905, more than 400,000 striking workers joined with the peasants and began organizing councils called soviets.
The tsar finally understood he would be unable to crush the rebellion with repression alone. In October he signed the October Manifesto promising civil liberties like freedom of speech and assembly, sapping the revolution's leverage. The strikes ended and the soviets' authority evaporated.

Over one million people in Germany have joined protests against the far-right AfD this weekend. The biggest protest hit Munich with 250,000 participants, followed by the capital Berlin with well over 100,000. At least 90 demonstrations nationwide were registered on Saturday and Sunday.
The protests are a response to revelations of the AfD's secret meeting with the fascist Identitarian Movement. The meeting's theme was the pursuit of a "remigration" policy, whereby people with a migration background, including German citizens, would be deported.
The protests are increasingly being co-opted by mainstream parties: the Greens, SPD, and CDU, all of whom have enabled the tightening of racist deportation laws. While Chancellor Olaf Scholz attended the massive Hamburg demonstration on Friday, he himself caused shock amongst migrant communities last October when he said Germany should “finally deport on a large scale those who have no right to stay” in the country.
On this day 100 years ago, Vladimir Lenin, one of the greatest revolutionaries of the 20th century, passed away. Even 100 years after his death, his legacy continues to inspire and fuel revolutionary movements around the world. Here are colorized pictures of Lenin and his favorite animal.

The anti-colonial freedom fighter Amílcar Cabral was assassinated today in 1973. he led the fight to overthrow Portuguese colonialism in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, contributing to the end of Portugal’s fascist dictatorship. Born in 1924, Amílcar Cabral Cabral became one of Africa’s most influential communist pan-African revolutionaries.
The colonies of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde were governed by a fascist dictatorship in Lisbon long after other colonial powers like Britain and France had been formally thrown out of Africa by anti-colonial movements. Cabral led the fight for independence against the Estado Novo (New State) dictatorship led by António Salazar and his successor, Marcelo Caetano. Through helping the anti-Portguese resistance in Angola, he aimed to achieve freedom for all of Portugal’s African colonies.
As a committed pan-Africanist and socialist, he focused on creating a socialist bloc by unifying Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. As they liberated areas of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Cabral and his forces tried to build a socialist economy with central planning and cooperatives.
Cabral, a trained agronomist, pioneered social and agricultural programs to ensure food supply to the liberation army and the local population.
Just eight months before Guinea-Bissau achieved independence, Cabral was assassinated by members of his movement, who it is believed were linked to the Portuguese intelligence services.

80,000 anti-AfD protesters filled Hamburg, Germany, for the biggest protest yet against the far-right party since their "secret meeting" with the fascist Identitarian Movement was revealed.
The turnout shows that the anti-AfD movement is snowballing across the country and is the highlight of over a week of nationwide protests since the meeting with the Identitarian Movement was reported earlier this month. The meeting was held in November last year, whereby the Identitarian's "remigration" plot to deport migrants and German citizens with a migration background was discussed. High ranking members of the former ruling party CDU were present alongside wealthy business people. Citizens with a migration background makeup 25 per cent of the German population.

WATCH NOW our latest documentary "The Siege of Jenin: Israel’s War on the West Bank", showing the devastating consequences of Israel's attack on Jenin Refugee Camp.
In December last year, Israeli forces invaded the camp in the occupied West Bank, first draining resistance fighters of ammunition, then ensuring they had no backing from the Palestinian Authority forces. With electricity, water, and telecommunications shutdown, Palestinian civilians are bearing the brunt of the siege and scores of residents have been indiscriminately killed by Israel.
This is part of the all out war on Palestine, and the style and size of the destruction in Jenin parallels what Israel is inflicting on Gaza.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit in Kampala, Uganda, Namibian Deputy Prime Minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah called on the NAM to break the UN Security Council’s balance of power and demand an end to Israel’s relentless war of extermination against Gaza and the Palestinian people.
As a NAM member, Namibia has taken the initiative by supporting South Africa’s International Court of Justice (ICJ) case against Israel. Namibia has also criticized Germany for officially rejecting this court case despite Germany’s history of committing genocide on Namibian soil. Facing another genocide that world powers have failed to stop, Namibia demonstrates its solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Italy’s Supreme Court ruled the infamous fascist salute not to be a crime unless “there is an actual concrete danger of the reconstitution of the fascist party, which is absolutely excluded in the case of commemorations.” The latest court ruling comes just a little over 10 days after hundreds of fascists marched through the Italian capital doing the fascist salute.
Italy’s countless far-right organizations are known to use fascist salutes at rallies celebrating the country’s fascist past and commemorating fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, among other fascists. Even though the Supreme Court has reiterated that both the Scelba and Mancino laws, Italy’s central legislations against fascist propaganda, could be applied to people making the fascist salute depending on the circumstances, coupled with the latest court ruling, individual prosecutors are left to decide whether these circumstances are applicable or not.
The court ruling comes as no surprise considering the rally by the far-right Italian Social Movement (MSI) party, the de facto successor party to Mussolini’s regime, earlier this month was also attended by local authorities and found support from leading figures of the ruling far-right Brothers of Italy party. Italy’s current Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, also took her first political steps in the MSI youth movement at just 15. Her mother was also active in the MSI and later joined its successor party, National Alliance.

Eighteen years ago today, Evo Morales, the first indigenous president in the history of Bolivia, assumed office. Leading the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party, Morales launched a transformative agenda to uplift the indigenous, exploited, and oppressed populations in one of the world's poorest countries.
Bolivia, historically politically unstable and ethnically divided, particularly between the impoverished indigenous rural majority and the small white urban elite, experienced profound changes under Morales. Before his presidency, 60% of Bolivians lived in poverty, a figure drastically reduced to 17% within 11 years.
In 2019, a US-backed military coup ousted Evo Morales. This triggered relentless mass protests led by indigenous groups and unions loyal to Morales, who warned of civil war unless the unelected far-right coup government resigned. After 11 months, the MAS won elections with 55.10%, promising to continue Morales' legacy, who had been forced into exile.
In September 2023, Morales declared his intention to run again in the 2025 presidential elections. Since the MAS's return to power, internal struggles have emerged between the radical faction led by Morales and the more moderate wing represented by the current president, Luis Acre, who was expelled from the party in October.

Far-right Hindus in New York chanted for more mosques to be taken over in India, during their gathering for the inauguration of Ram Temple.
The temple, dubbed the "Hindu Vatican", is being inaugurated in the city of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, on the site of the 16th century Babri Mosque. That mosque was destroyed in 1992 by a mob of 150,000 Hindu extremists and paramilitary forces led by the BJP. Nationwide Islamophobic riots ensued, killing approximately 2,000 people, mostly Muslims.
The crowd in Times Square chanted "Ayodhya is just a teaser, Mathura and Kashi are pending", referring to mosques in the cities of Varanasi and Mathura, which Hindu extremists are threatening to raze to make way for Hindu temples.
Last year a senior BJP leader claimed the Islamic Mughal Empire, which ruled over much of South Asia from the 16th to the 19th century, destroyed 36,000 Hindu temples to make way for mosques, and threatened that all of them would be reclaimed.
Islamophobic state-sponsored violence, including pogroms, home demolitions, and attacks on Muslim shrines have surged since 2014 when the BJP came to power, and mainstreamed Hindutva ideology, which is based on Hindu supremacy.

On this day, 100 years ago Vladimir Ilyich Lenin passed away. As one of the leaders of the Russian Revolution in 1917 he inspired millions of the exploited and oppressed around the world to unite and free themselves from the chains of capitalism.
Under Lenin's leadership the 1917 revolution created the first socialist society which changed the course of history and inspired masses of workers, peasants and the oppressed everywhere to believe that another world is possible.
One of Lenin's most important contributions to Marxist theory was his analysis of capitalism and from it, his definition of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism.
Lenin's analysis of imperialism is more important today than ever before, as we live in a time where imperialist exploitation of people around the world is increasing, and pushing the planet into perpetual war and crisis.

Germany’s far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is making headlines again. Why? Leading figures of the AfD attended a secret far-right meeting. Together with the other attendants, they discussed their plan of “remigration,” the deportation of millions of people from Germany based on racist criteria—the same plan top AfD politician Björn Höcke has been advocating for to “ethnically homogenize Germany and Europe.”
Amid mass protests against the AfD and the government’s debate to ban the party, over 1,300,000 people have already signed an online petition calling for the outlawing of Höcke, who, according to a court ruling, can be classified as a fascist. Höcke not only represents the fascist wing of the AfD but is also the party’s most influential politician. He is no less known for his infamous speeches with allusions to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. He continuously talks about the alleged “extermination” of Germans and their “glorious history.” According to Höcke, “the main problem is that Hitler is portrayed as the absolute evil.”
In addition to the AfD, leading figures of the Identitarian movement, fraternity members, top business persons, and even members of Germany’s former ruling and still most popular party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), attended the meeting, proving that amid record nationwide approval ratings of the AfD, their far-right ideas have arrived to take their place at the center of German society.

Clashes erupted between police and students in the Greek capital, Athens, as they rallied to protest the government's plan to introduce private universities to the country—students from various faculties gathered before Athens University as riot police cracked down on the protest.
The law, adopted on January 11, has sparked widespread protests across the country. Mobilization and occupations in higher and secondary education are entering their second week now. Student unions believe the move will devalue degrees from Greece's public universities and only further strengthen the commercialization of education; this could eventually lead to many of Greece's 24 government-funded public universities, where attendance has been free for decades, facing closure while the private system will exclude those who cannot afford it.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' government has already previously implemented a series of educational reforms despite fierce opposition from students and staff.
