Very sad to hear about the passing of Akira Takarada! I had just watched the two Ironfinger films and rewatched a lot of Showa Era Gojira films. Part of youth is gone. Rest In Peace Akira Takarada!
New! A brand new edition of The Great French Revolution, 1789–1793 by Russian revolutionary Peter Kropotkin. In this, his most detailed historical work, he presents a people’s history of the world-shaking events of the Revolution and shows the key role the working men and women of the towns and countryside played in it. Without the constant pressure of popular organisations and activity, the politicians would never have created a Republic, nor been able to survive the counterrevolutionary forces internally or externally. Focusing on such mass movements—and especially the peasant majority—rather than on the few great men beloved of bourgeois accounts, this is a groundbreaking account of the period and a seminal work of “history from below.” https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/the-great-french-revolution-1789-1793-peter-kropotkinhttps://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.294735704044920/1944096442442163/?type=3
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch post-impressionist artist whose paintings are amongst the most popular and recognizable in history. His dramatic brushwork, exuberant palette, and mastery at capturing moments in time and light revolutionised art. Only recognised at the end of his life, his struggles and triumphs have coloured exactly what we imagine it is to be an artist.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
