106 years ago, socialist revolutionaries Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were executed in Berlin after the failed uprising against a collapsing bourgeois system. Today, their warnings stand as an undeniable truth: capitalism, sinking deeper into the quagmire of its crises, has summoned the forces of fascism as its last line of defense. As Luxemburg wrote: "Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism..."
Look at the world today: from rampant inequality to ecological devastation, the descent into barbarism is clear. Yet, just as their vision endured beyond their lives, so too does the unyielding struggle for a world free from exploitation and oppression...

Did you know that the CIA once orchestrated the execution of today’s DR Congo’s first Prime Minister by a firing squad? On this day in 1961, Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Congo, was executed by a firing squad following assassination plots concocted by the US and Belgian governments.
Lumumba’s anti-imperialism and vision of a united Congo made him an adversary of both Belgium and US imperialism. Although the CIA ordered his assassination, they weren’t able to carry it out themselves.
Instead, Washington and Brussels secretly funneled cash and aid to rival politicians who organized a coup and arrested Lumumba. He was then beaten, tortured, and killed.
