#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember Samora Moisés Machel, Mozambican revolutionary and freedom fighter. Machel led FRELIMO (Frente de Libertação de Moçambique) which fought for independence from Portugal and he served as the first President of Mozambique since independence in 1975.
On October 19, 1986, Machel died in a plane crash in dubious circumstances, near the Mozambican-South African border. A total of 34 people, including Machel, were killed in the crash and nine survived.

🇮🇹 The functioning and future of Italy’s National Health Service or Servizio sanitario nazionale (SSN) have become one of the most important mobilizing issues for trade unions, civil society organizations, and ordinary citizens.
Just like health systems in many other European countries, the SSN has fallen prey to policies that promote the participation of the private sector in service provision, weakening the public, tax-based system, which is supposed to provide care to everyone.

#PeoplesHistory | On November 7, 1917 (October according to the old Russian calendar), Bolsheviks, under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, overturned the interim provisional government and replaced it with a government by the people, local councils elected by bodies of workers and peasants.
Through sheer collective human efforts and the manifestation of a general will for progress, the Soviet Union rapidly progressed as a world superpower with excellent achievements in enhancing working class rights, women’s rights, human development, military power, science and technology, including space technology. The October Revolution influenced liberation struggles all around the third world, and today, it continues to guide us in our fight for a better world free of oppression and exploitation.
