Happy Birthday, Dr. King - January 15, 1929
“The [Vietnamese] people read our leaflets and received the regular promises of peace and democracy and land reform. Now they languish under our bombs and consider us, not their fellow Vietnamese, the real enemy. They move sadly and apathetically as we herd them off the land of their fathers into concentration camps where minimal social needs are rarely met. They know they must move on or be destroyed by our bombs….
At this point I should make it clear that while I have tried in these last few minutes to give a voice to the voiceless in Vietnam and to understand the arguments of those who are called “enemy,” I am as deeply concerned about our own troops there as anything else. For it occurs to me that what we are submitting them to in Vietnam is not simply the brutalizing process that goes on in any war where armies face each other and seek to destroy. We are adding cynicism to the process of death, for they must know after a short period there that none of the things we claim to be fighting for are really involved. Before long they must know that their government has sent them into a struggle among Vietnamese, and the more sophisticated surely realize that we are on the side of the wealthy, and the secure, while we create a hell for the poor. Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now.”
—From the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s historic 1967 speech expressing his opposition to the Vietnam War.

On this day, 15 January 1919, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered in Berlin by the right-wing paramilitary Freikorps who were acting on the orders of the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (Social Democratic Party of Germany; SPD). Luxemburg and Liebknecht had played an important part in the German Revolution of 1918–1919.
This month, Luxemburg is the subject of our T-Shirt of the Month, made by a worker-owned co-operative, and supporting grassroots labour unions in South Asia. It features a quotation from an article she wrote just a few hours before her death, responding to claims by the governing social democrats that order had been restored in Berlin after a massacre of revolutionary workers: “‘Order prevails in Berlin!’ You foolish lackeys! Your ‘order’ is built on sand. Tomorrow the revolution will 'rise up again, clashing its weapons,’ and to your horror it will proclaim with trumpets blazing:
I was, I am, I shall be!”

Weed fought the law and the law lost (x)
Yet the people who are incarcerated on weed charges are still languishing in prison. Who is going to fight for them? The aim was to use the war on drugs as an excuse to break black militancy for liberation to preseve the empire and for that they achieved the goal. Now all these white entrepreneurs are making bank.
Capitalism delivers again for the people who violently enforced it on the rest of the world.
