Anarchism and communism
Mar. 18th, 2025 03:04 amI wonder if the demographics of anarchism and communism (and all shades in between) skew on very different directions by time, sex, age, economic class, religion, personality traits, ethnicity and race.
29-30 October 1937 Purge
Jan. 20th, 2023 02:48 pmToday, I learned about the 29-30 October 1937 purge in Belarus. Poignant, was МИХАСЬ ЧАРОТ's Oath poem written on his prison wall (and reproduced in the euroradio.fm article linked earlier).
ПРЫСЯГА Я не чакаў; Я не гадаў, Бо жыў з адкрытаю душою, Что стрэне лютая бяда, Падружыць з допытам, З турмою. Прадажных здрайцаў лiхвяры Мяне зацiснулi за краты. Я прысягаю вам, сябры, Мае пали, Мае бары, — Кажу вам — я не вiноваты! |
OATH I wasn't waiting. I didn't guess, lived with an open soul, a fierce disaster came, befriended the interrogation and prison. Corrupt moneylender traitor put me behind bars. I swear to you, buddies, my forests, my fields, I tell you, I'm not guilty! |
