“Solidarność was the largest liberation movement in the world since the second world war. It was one of the most important phenomena experienced by mankind in the second half of the 20th century,” wrote Alain Touraine, a French sociologist. Today marks the 46th anniversary of the signing of the...

The Soviet communist leader Vladimir Lenin said of May Day that it was “the day when the workers of all lands celebrate their awakening to a class-conscientiousness, their solidarity in the struggle against all coercion and oppression of man by man, the struggle to free the toiling millions from hunger, poverty, and humiliation. Two worlds stand facing each other in this great struggle: [...] The world of exploitation and slavery and the world of brotherhood and freedom.”

“But the Nazis weren’t socialists because they crushed labor unions!” It wasn’t until 1980 that the first independent union was legalized in the Soviet bloc. “Solidarity” in Poland reached 10 million members in a year which was absolutely terrible for the commies. So in 1981, the Communist Party declared martial law. They sent their tanks into the streets, shot protesting miners, and jailed tens of thousands just to keep their grip on Poland. Jaruzelski cut the phones, sealed the borders, banned the union, and imprisoned the their leader Lech Wałęsa for 11 months. 3 days after that, riot police stormed the Wujek mine and killed 9 strikers who refused to accept the crackdown. Internments, censorship, and surveillance continued for years afterward.

🚨Lavrov: Moscow’s approval of German reunification and withdrawal of Soviet troops were unjustified, regrettable concessions that fueled the revival of Nazism in Europe. 📑The well-known political scientist Francis Fukuyama proclaimed the end of history, meaning that nothing would ever change again, that the leading, dominant position of the United States in the world, and that everyone else would have to adapt to this reality. That is what the end of history meant in his view. And the Soviet Union disappeared, but already in the last years of the Soviet Union, the West felt, Americans felt they had a basis for this kind of dominance, when, in the late eighties, completely unjustified concessions were made that were not in the interests of the Soviet people, including, well, most likely we should mention the unification of Germany. First of all, the unification of Germany was approved by us not as a voluntary, equal reunion of the Federal Republic and the Democratic Republic, of the FRG and the GDR, but as an absorption the German Democratic Republic the Federal Republic of Germany. And this, in general, planted a slow-acting time bomb in German politics. See how now all those, who represent the views of Merz, Pistorius, and other hawks, now demand a legislative ban on Alternative for Germany. But Alternative for Germany primarily originates from the eastern regions of this country, the eastern regions which, after reunification, were openly discriminated against, in a subordinate position, whose interests were ignored. Let me mention just one fact. After the so-called reunification of Germany, politicians from the former GDR began to be prosecuted. and none of the civil servants—from the German Democratic Republic — was hired for work, they were all fired. It was this kind of unification that was approved, to our great regret, by the Soviet Union, and the only country that had its own armed forces on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German on German territory, let's put it that way, withdrew hundreds of thousands of our servicemen. And they withdrew them into open fields, without any compensation. Everyone else kept their military contingents on the territory of West Germany. I do not rule out that these tendencies toward the revival of Nazism are to a large extent connected to the fact, to how the Soviet Union behaved back then.

🇵🇱✝️ 21 years ago, John Paul II passed away, a figure whose influence extended far beyond religion and helped reshape European history. He became one of the key figures of the 20th century, playing a vital role in the fall of Poland’s communist regime. His impact is recognized even by those outside of Catholicism: the Pope’s moral authority and his support for society became a powerful force that weakened the system from within. The election of Polish cardinal Karol Wojtyła to the Holy See in 1978 shocked the Soviet Union and the entire socialist bloc. In Moscow, there was a longstanding concern about Polish Catholicism and its influence on society, while communist authorities in Warsaw repeatedly sought to limit the Church’s role. His visits to Poland were especially significant. His first trip in 1979 proved to be a turning point: millions took to the streets, and his words “Do not be afraid” sounded like a political signal. These visits strengthened society and catalyzed the rise of the Solidarity movement. On April 2, 2005, the day he died, Poland essentially stopped. Thousands gathered in streets, squares, and churches across the country. In Warsaw, Kraków, and other cities, people held spontaneous vigils, lit candles, and stood in silence. Television broadcasts were interrupted, streets emptied, and the nation experienced a rare moment of unity. His influence was not only political or religious, but it was deeply personal for millions. His legacy encompasses not only faith but also freedom, dignity, and resistance to oppression.

🚨Putin stated that Europe is pushing its countries toward war with Russia. ▶️ The West set the goal of dragging Ukraine into NATO after the bloody coup in Kyiv in 2014. ▶️ What is happening now in Europe is the result of systemic mistakes by Western globalists in politics, security, and economics. ▶️ Russia's participation in the "G8" was not a full membership for the Russian Federation. ▶️ After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Western globalists felt that they could do anything, and the mistakes they made continue to accumulate and are still present today. 🚨During a press appearance, the Russian president, commenting on the results of the parliamentary elections in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, said that the victory of Alternative for Germany was the result of systemic mistakes by Western globalists in the fields of politics, security, and economics. 🚨❗️In my view, all that is now happening across Europe as a whole is the consequence of systemic errors committed by the so‑called West, or, to be more precise, by the globalist circles of the West, in the political, security and economic spheres. Everyone is prone to mistakes. We, too, have made numerous mistakes, as has the wider world. Yet the difficulty for the globalist West lies here: following the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, they perceived themselves as standing atop the “summit of Mount Olympus,” and evidently concluded that, firstly, they were permitted everything and, secondly, that they themselves were incapable of error. In the security sphere, it has taken the form of attempts to put pressure on the Russian Federation, initially through the use of terrorists in the Caucasus and separatists, then via other methods, and now – by means of the neo‑Nazi regime in Ukraine. This process continues unabated.

-William Pierce, the truth about WW2. 🗣️ "The fact that the Soviet Union also invaded Poland in September 1939 was alright with Britain and France. ➡️They didn't declare war on the Soviet Union because the Soviet Union was for all practical purposes under Jewish rule. They did declare war on Germany because Germany under Hitler had broken loose from the grip of the Jews and had freed: -the German media -and German education -and German finance -and German politics -and German culture from Jewish influence and was in the process of kicking all of the Jews out of Germany. That was the reason for the Second World War, not Polish freedom or Polish territorial integrity. ➡️That was the reason why when in April 1943 the German army discovered the mass graves of some of the 25,000 Polish officers and intellectuals murdered by Jewish communists and invited the International Red Cross and journalists from many nations to view the evidence. The controlled media in Britain and the United States ignored the evidence and blamed the atrocity on the Germans. That was the reason why at the end of the war, those countries which had gone to war ostensibly to ensure the freedom of Poland agreed to turn Poland and Latvia and Hungary and the rest of Eastern Europe over to the communist butchers who had carried out the massacre of the elite of the Polish nation. ➡️Of course, the communists economically drained and ruined all of these countries. And these communists were Jews, which is to say, the Jews were the prime movers in the communist regimes imposed on those countries after the war and also were the primary beneficiaries of the regimes: -In Hungary, for example, there was the regime of the communist Jew Maciej Likosi, followed by another communist Jew, Ernő Gyerl. -In Romania, the communist Jewish Anna Palker ruled the country as First Secretary of the Central Committee. -In Poland, the Minister for State Control was the communist Jew Roman Zimbrowski. -In Czechoslovakia, the Secretary General of the Communist Party was the communist Jew Rudolf Slansky. -In Yugoslavia, while Tito held the spotlight, the communist Jew Mocsi Fiati was the Chairman of the National Assembly and President of Serbia. And so it went. And this in a Europe whose Jews supposedly had all been holocausted by Hitler. ➡️There were tens of millions of Hungarians and Poles and Latvians and Serbs and other Eastern Europeans under the yoke of communism who were wishing that Hitler had actually holocausted the Jews. These communist Jews were so hated by the Eastern Europeans they ruled and exploited that there was constant turmoil. And after the Hungarian uprising in 1956, many of the leading communist Jews were replaced by Gentile frontmen while the Jews continued to exploit the people from behind the scenes. ➡️Even as the communist regimes of Eastern Europe began collapsing during the last 15 years or so, and their economies were privatized, Jews continued to plunder the people among whom they lived. Using money from their brethren abroad and collusion with their corrupt kinsmen still in the various governments, they managed to buy up the most valuable factories, mines, and other national resources at fire sale prices and then melt them for all they were worth." ---------------------------------- (For historical and educational purposes only)

Secretary of State Marco Rubio's full speech today at the 2026 Munich Security Conference. Excerpt: "At the time of that first (1963 Munich Security Conference) gathering, Soviet communism was on the march. Thousands of years of Western civilization hung in the balance. At that time, victory was far from certain. But we were driven by a common purpose. We were unified not just by what we were fighting against; we were unified by what we were fighting for. And together, Europe and America prevailed and a continent was rebuilt. Our people prospered. In time, the East and West blocs were reunited. A civilization was once again made whole. "That infamous wall that had cleaved this nation into two came down, and with it an evil empire, and the East and West became one again. But the euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion: that we had entered, quote, 'the end of history;' that every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order – an overused term – would now replace the national interest; and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world." .

#WATCH | Delhi: On the India-EU FTA, Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "I'd like to begin by congratulating 1.4 billion brothers and sisters in India. This visit is extraordinary. It goes far beyond a Free Trade Agreement. It goes far beyond the humongous potential that is being unlocked with the Free Trade Agreement. It is truly a statement of deep partnership and the strategic intent of the European Union and India coming together in a multitude of areas to strengthen our partnership, to work together for the shared prosperity and a better future for one third of humanity. It is a reflection that when 25% of global trade decides to strengthen the strategic partnership, including with the free trade agreement, it unlocks the doors to defence cooperation, greater investments, to cooperation in the field of innovation and science to further integration of financial markets. Therefore, I would term this visit, as very rightly pointed out by the foreign secretary as a game-changing and transformational visit in terms of the strategic partnership between Europe and Union and India..."

🇱🇹 In January 1991, in Vilnius, the Soviet Union revealed its true face After Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare the restoration of independence on March 11, 1990, the Kremlin refused to accept the loss of control. Less than a year later, the USSR attempted to retake the country by force - through military pressure, intimidation, and outright violence. On the early morning of January 13, 1991, Soviet troops and special units stormed the Vilnius TV Tower and the Radio and Television Committee building. Unarmed civilians came out to defend their country, their media, and their right to be free. As a result of the attack, 14 Lithuanians were killed, and around 900 were injured. They were killed for seeking to escape the Soviet "prison of nations." Later, in an attempt to distance himself from responsibility for the deaths, Mikhail Gorbachev claimed he had no knowledge of the operation and had given no such orders. The January events in Vilnius became a symbol of the collapse of the Soviet myth of "brotherly peoples" and a "voluntary union." Until its very end, the USSR was willing to hold onto its colonies only by force of arms.

Recently, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliev used the language of decolonization, describing Azerbaijan as colonized by Russia in the 19th and the 20th century. "We were colonized in the 19th century and lived as a colony. Then, when the Soviet Union was established, we were not independent. We were part of the Soviet Union. A republic? Yes, but without any rights." I suppose each of the "republics" of the Soviet Union can say the same about themselves. The Soviet Union was a colonial Russian project, a reconstruction of the Russian Empire that declared the break from the Empire ideologically but used the imperial and colonial strategies and tactics to piece the state together.

The Soviet Union was a colonial Russian project, a reconstruction of the Russian Empire that declared the break from the Empire ideologically but used the imperial and colonial strategies and tactics to piece the state together.

AFRICANS IN SOLIDARITY WITH SAHEL REVOLUTIONS AT NIGER CONFERENCE, PT. 1 During 19-21 November, Pan-Africanists, anti-imperialists, and friends of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) flocked to Niamey, Niger, for the Conference in Solidarity with the Peoples of the Sahel. The AES is a revolutionary confederation consisting of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, West African countries that have made enormous strides toward ending neo-colonialism in recent years since their people-backed military coups d’état. The conference, organised by the West Africa Peoples Organisation, Pan-Africanism Today and Nigerien civil society organisations, marks a turning point for global solidarity with Africa's new self-determining bloc. Delegates representing political and workers’ organisations came from Zambia, Kenya, Ghana, Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, the US, India, China and other countries. From day one, African Stream was on the ground in Niamey to interview Nigerien locals, those involved in organising the event and foreign delegates. In this video, we hear from people after the event’s opening ceremony.

I'm not a fan of Uber, but it has provided many people with work, and cheap service. That’s over. Because of the Unions. When it comes to Unions, Labor has a massive conflict, it's destroying Australia and nobody talks about it. Unions once helped people. They allowed the littlest of us a voice. Those that did small and thankless work in a more dangerous environment. They rose when the big end of town could treat the working people as slaves. Just machines. Pay was abysmal, and working conditions - cruel. People were just filthy pawns. The industrial era was brutal. The Unions gave workers the ability to be heard and understood. A much needed voice. Many of the great things about this country came from the high-risk and low-reward strike action early last century. Unions in Australia have many proud achievements back then. Built on a collection of little actions that won things like living wages, weekends (although that was Henry Ford) and holidays. But like so many old institutions, they have completely lost their way today. Modern Unions are different. Unions actively encouraged the big end of town as they smashed workers during the COVID era. Forced masking and vaccination, exposure of private medical data and other breaches of human rights - endorsed by the Unions. Whilst those of us who were privileged enough to make our own decisions, so many working people were pummelled, simply for not having the means to speak up. Because Unions abandoned them. There are many stories of workers completely abandoned by their unions when it mattered over the decades. They're rarely led by the workers, who care about their mates - a care borne from a deep understanding of their colleagues. Now they are run by careerists, lawyers and sociologists all too familiar with the lecture halls and university picket lines. People who've never swung a hammer, picked a banana, served a beer, flown a plane or taught a class. Those on the pathway to parliament, or the board of a superfund to worry about the little people. Their purpose is completely perverted. Unions are the Labor governments and Labor governments are the Unions. Just a giant and very powerful parasite that has exactly no stakes in the outcomes they cause. As jobs disappear. The Unions sent the car industry packing. Forcing business into unsustainable pay and conditions. It was easier for them to close shop, unless the government propped-up the grift, with our taxes. Taxes are the lifeblood of Unions as more and more subsidy fuels industries that the Unions break. All of it inflationary. Pay never keeps up. They’re driving us off a cliff. They talk tough in the boardroom, and build more bureaucracy in the name of safety or productivity. Hollowing out productivity and the living standards of their own membership. Their membership is in decline. Because anyone who ever called on their union from a place of need knows - they don't answer the phones during Question Time. They give us MPs that never had a real job, like Walker and Shorten, advocating for things that make workers lives worse. High immigration, political correctness, and every social cause going. They insist on destroying our energy grid, and more jobs go... Then there's the money go round of political donations and brown paper bags. Just look at the criminal CFMEU. They've go too far - the Unions and Labor put paid drivers on driver-less trains in NSW. Gorging themselves on taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile real wage and productivity falls, as living standards in Australia sink like an anchor looking for the ocean floor. Labor in government don’t regulate Unions, they aid and abet them. Together they have completely lost their purpose, as they ruin themselves and their legacy. If it continues, we will slide back to industrial era conditions as everything fails under its own bloated weight, and nobody wants to see that. I just want Australia back.

📣🚨 NEW FSU MEMBER TESTIMONIAL In 2020, cartoonist Stella Perrett was cancelled by the Morning Star, a daily communist news paper which she had illustrated for since 2015. Trade unions threated to cut funding for the newspaper after it published a cartoon of Stella’s which showed a crocodile claiming to be “transitioning as a newt” as it entered a pond full of newts who objected to the crocodile coming in. Deemed to be a transphobe, the trade union council held a meeting to force the Morning Star to cancel Stella as their political cartoonist. The paper apologised for the cartoon, put staff through retraining and were faced with potential closure for the first time in its 70 year history due to the trade unions threatening to pull funding. The cartoon was also reported to Avon & Somerset Police and recorded as a non-crime hate incident. The Free Speech Union sent a pre-action letter of defamation to the Morning Star, and a demand for an apology and right of reply to the claims made about her. Stella was the second women’s rights activist the Free Speech Union ever supported. Our single biggest category of cases involve people who get in trouble for expressing their gender critical views.

No surprise that the KPD ended up running East Germany and the Stasi because they were loyal Soviet pets. Their failed armed rising in 1923 was partly planned at a secret Politburo meeting. The Soviets then purged the leadership and installed Ernst Thälmann so it would fund and direct the movement according to Soviet interests. What started as an independent revolutionary communist movement in 1918 splitting from German Socialism, ended up as a Comintern satellite of lackeys for the commies in Moscow. And they were rewarded for it. KPD cadres became the founding leadership of the East German state. Erich Mielke led the Stasi for 30 years after being convicted of murdering 2 policemen in 1931.

"Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large." "Scotland is annexed, a dominion under the English crown. And it is the English crown, not the fictional UK crown, that we're all told about. "Not a partner, not of any kind. In fact, the whole partnership story is a concoction fashioned to convince the world that Scots are part of a joint state and to disguise the fact that Scotland is, in reality, nothing other than a colony. "It's not a partner in a marriage, but a kidnap victim. And you do not escape from a kidnapper by filing for divorce from a fictional marriage. "Second, even if it were possible to break free through a referendum or an election, or to propose any other route that would be approved as lawful by the kidnapping state, the political system in Scotland would not guarantee any of the things that sing in our bones as Scots. We dream of justice, compassion, equality, prosperity and care for all without preference or privilege. "But what we have is an english system of concentrated power and privilege, which those Scots who enjoy it will not give up easily. Where the government sits in authority over the people, and the people surrender their hopes, their ambitions and their human and civil rights to the whims of their elected representatives. Where all that we hold dear, all that we depend on for decency, fairness and security, depends on the honor, honesty and good faith of those elected. "Because once it is elected, we have no means of curbing, challenging or preventing anything a government may choose to do, whether or not that's lawful, just, rational or humane. "Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large. Our helplessness in the face of the state marching side by side with destitution and despair. "This is why liberation was born. Because the route to the Scotland we dream of neither can nor will come through the present political system, but through the restoration of the political, territorial and judicial rights, the constitutional provisions that belong to the people of this nation, in law and in justice, even under the terms of this fraudulent union, and certainly under international law. "They mean that we, the people, are sovereign, in fact, not in sound bite, the ultimate authority of this nation of Scotland. "They mean that the interests of the people, collectively known as the common good, are not only the primary purpose of government, but the only condition on which it's permitted to exist. "They mean that we are entitled to overrule, remove or replace a government that violates that condition of its existence, that fails to honour its promises, to consult the people or to act according to their wishes and welfare. "And in the modern world, that means the right to all the mechanisms that we see in a nation like Switzerland, which will make that sovereign power a reality. "All this is part of what we call decolonization, true Scottish self determination. And it is the soul and purpose of liberation Scotland. "Impossible? Other nations have trodden the path to decolonisation. Not one has bowed to the kidnapper and asked for permission. "We know now that we can gain our independence as a state by first gaining independence from a colonizing power. So that instead of waiting to reclaim real sovereignty of the people after independence, we gain our independence by first reclaiming our sovereign Scottish rights. "The next step on this road is establishing the committee of the Scottish Liberation Movement. This committee will be elected from the membership of Liberation and will operate under a ratified constitution. "And it will register Scotland's Liberation Movement with the United Nations."

The Big Three—Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (replaced on July 26 by Prime Minister Clement Attlee), and U.S. President Harry Truman—met in Potsdam, Germany, from July 17 to August 2, 1945, to negotiate terms for the end of World War II. After the Yalta Conference of February 1945, Stalin, Churchill, and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had agreed to meet following the surrender of Germany to determine the postwar borders in Europe. Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945, and the Allied leaders agreed to meet over the summer at Potsdam to continue the discussions that had begun at Yalta. Although the Allies remained committed to fighting a joint war in the Pacific, the lack of a common enemy in Europe led to difficulties reaching consensus concerning postwar reconstruction on the European continent. The major issue at Potsdam was the question of how to handle Germany. At Yalta, the Soviets had pressed for heavy postwar reparations from Germany, half of which would go to the Soviet Union. While Roosevelt had acceded to such demands, Truman and his Secretary of State, James Byrnes, were determined to mitigate the treatment of Germany by allowing the occupying nations to exact reparations only from their own zone of occupation. Truman and Byrnes encouraged this position because they wanted to avoid a repetition of the situation created by the Treaty of Versailles, which had exacted high reparations payments from Germany following World War One. Many experts agreed that the harsh reparations imposed by the Versailles Treaty had handicapped the German economy and fueled the rise of the Nazis. Despite numerous disagreements, the Allied leaders did manage to conclude some agreements at Potsdam. For example, the negotiators confirmed the status of a demilitarized and disarmed Germany under four zones of Allied occupation. According to the Protocol of the Conference, there was to be “a complete disarmament and demilitarization of Germany”; all aspects of German industry that could be utilized for military purposes were to be dismantled; all German military and paramilitary forces were to be eliminated; and the production of all military hardware in Germany was forbidden. Furthermore, German society was to be remade along democratic lines by repeal of all discriminatory laws from the Nazi era and by the arrest and trial of those Germans deemed to be “war criminals.” The German educational and judicial systems were to be purged of any authoritarian influences, and democratic political parties would be encouraged to participate in the administration of Germany at the local and state level. The reconstitution of a national German Government was, however, postponed indefinitely, and the Allied Control Commission (which was comprised of four occupying powers, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union) would run the country during the interregnum. One of the most controversial matters addressed at the Potsdam Conference dealt with the revision of the German-Soviet-Polish borders and the expulsion of several million Germans from the disputed territories. In exchange for the territory it lost to the Soviet Union following the readjustment of the Soviet-Polish border, Poland received a large swath of German territory and began to deport the German residents of the territories in question, as did other nations that were host to large German minority populations. The negotiators at Potsdam were well-aware of the situation, and even though the British and Americans feared that a mass exodus of Germans into the western occupation zones would destabilize them, they took no action other than to declare that “any transfers that take place should be effected in an orderly and humane manner” and to request that the Poles, Czechoslovaks and Hungarians temporarily suspend additional deportations. #archaeohistories

🇷🇺 “The collapse of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” — Vladimir Putin. Today marks the anniversary of that event—a moment that not only ended a global superpower but unleashed chaos that continues to plague the world. The Soviet Union’s fall shattered stability across Eurasia and Europe, creating a vacuum for power struggles, wars, and extremist movements. In its place emerged chaos: Color Revolutions destabilized nations (Armenia, Gerogia, Ukraine, Belarus), terrorists and groups like ISIS found fertile ground in the aftermath, and the wars in Iraq, Afghanista, and Syria became prolonged nightmares. Entire regions, once balanced by Soviet influence, were thrown into turmoil. Countries were left fragmented, vulnerable to outside manipulation, and plunged into cycles of conflict. The modern world order, far from the “end of history” promised in the 1990s, became an era of unbridled Western interventions, sanctions, and proxy wars. This anniversary is not just a reminder of what was lost but a stark reflection of the consequences the world still faces. The global instability today is rooted in that pivotal moment in history.
