Diarios de Motocicleta (2004) dir. Walter Salles
"Equal hearts, in unanimous agreement, burned without shame and damned without crime. But, into the world arrived Interest; equality suddenly disappears, ambition raises it's foul head. Weeping, love abandons the world. Tyranny invents oaths; despair leads lovers astray. Gold makes laws, and Interest brings disgrace, forfeits, and hatred. Ah! Was it necessary, Heaven, in your rigor, to captivate man, and leave him a heart?"
- Saint-Just in Organt Chant IX.

Dear Saint-Just, wherever you are:
It’s a little creepy how the pretty privilege makes you a consumer product and not a serious political figure who deserves to be read as such.
Unsurprisingly, he himself criticized the commercial society (aka: early capitalism) for suppressing the individual's self-worth. He meant that the only thing that matters becomes consumption, without true freedom of expression.
Imagine criticizing a system that denatures humanity, dying, and becoming what you feared most.
For me, it's appalling that anyone can be reduced to that; humans are not products to be consumed. And much less dolls.
you learn something new everyday. unless you're a historian. then you learn something old
in 2014 you could come on here and say “misogyny is bad and more ppl should consume media that includes women” and everyone would agree with you. nowadays you post something like “if you don’t care about women you might be a misogynist” and the reblogs are ppl saying “ummmmmm this take is actually problematic bc the only way i can escape misogyny is by pretending women don’t exist :/” we’re so cooked.
Several months ago a few of us were discussing the new English Marat biography, so I wanted to share Clifford Conner's recent review of it that got published in Jacobin. Conner is the historian who wrote what I consider (still) to be the best anglophone biographies on Marat some years ago that cover both his politics and his time as a scientist and doctor before the revolution without the typical Cold War Era drivel that gets iterated throughout much of Baker's recent contribution.
who allowed "ancient roman man marcus antonius was a feminist" to be a thing that people actually say with their whole chests.
On this day, 20 April 1936, an Arab National Committee was formed in Nablus, Palestine, and resolved to call a general strike across the then-British colony. On April 21, other Palestinian leaders met and agreed to support the strike call, which would call out all Palestinian Arabs engaged in labour, transport and retail the following day. Zionists were escalating their efforts to colonise the country, Jewish immigration from Europe had increased, and groups like the Jewish Colonisation Association were establishing settlements and buying up huge swathes of land with open intentions of forming a Jewish colonial ethno-state. In response, the strikers demanded: a stop to Jewish immigration; prohibition of Arab Palestinian land being transferred to Jewish settlers; and the establishment of a democratic government. The general strike was a key early escalation in what became known as the Arab revolt of 1936. The following month, Palestinians also began to withhold taxes, and armed insurrection broke out in the countryside. British authorities responded with violent repression, drafting in thousands of soldiers, and enlisting armed Zionists and police to help crush the rebellion. Britain declared martial law, and British and Zionist forces killed up to 5000 Arabs, wounded up to 15,000, arrested 9000 and blew up thousands of homes, leaving tens of thousands of Palestinians homeless. In October, the Arab Higher Committee called off the strike and the revolt, but rebellion of poor peasants in the countryside continued until 1939. Eventually, British and Zionist repression succeeded in gradually crushing the movement. Although a British government White Paper, issued in 1939, did make concessions to Palestinians, agreeing to limit Jewish immigration and land purchases, and consider establishing an independent Palestinian state within 10 years. But these were not later honoured.
