Comrades, today marks the 50 years since Liberation of Saigon A victory dealing a major blow to imperialism, affirming the strength of revolutionary struggle - while we celebrate, let's rededicate ourselves to the fight against neocolonialism & capitalist exploitation worldwide

1/3 🧵 On this day, 16 May 1925, Antonio Gramsci gave his first and only speech in Italy’s Parliament. A year later, fascists jailed him. In prison, #Gramsci wrote his famous Prison Notebooks. A century on, why do his ideas still speak to the struggles of postcolonial #Africa?

Last night, the world lost a giant. Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong'o. He wielded his pen like a spear: exposing oppression and inspiring generations to fight for justice. His works were not just literature, they were liberation manifestos. I send my condolences to Kenyans and all who
