"In Spain, the civil war continued. Marshal Serrano, head of the new executive power, made the Carlists suffer a defeat in May 1874 at Bilbao; this military success of the "dictator" was the signal for a redoubled rigor against the various popular parties.

(...)

Here is some news from the Bulletin (June 7, June 21 and July 19): "The assassinations committed by the government in San Fernando (near Cadiz) cry out for vengeance. Sixty-six workers have disappeared from this locality. The people of San Fernando know that these unfortunates, after being arrested, were taken aboard a ship, and that there, in the middle of the night, they were sewn into sacks and thrown into the sea with cannonballs on their feet. The author of this crime, Captain-General Arias, has just received the salary for his crime: he has been named Minister of the Navy."

(...)

The annual Congress of the Spanish Federation [of the International Workingmen's Association] took place in Madrid on June 25, 1874, and the following days; the police, despite all their vigilance, could not prevent the delegates of forty-seven local federations from meeting and deliberating.

(...)

Our organ reproduced the following passage, where the Congress announced the firm resolution of the Spanish internationals to apply the law of retaliation to the bourgeoisie: "From this day forward, and until our rights are recognized, or the social revolution has triumphed, every exploiter, every idler living off rent, every parasitic capitalist and pleasure-seeker who, trusting in the impunity promised him by the State, has committed a serious offense against us or has violated our rights, will fall under the blows of an invisible arm, and his property will be delivered to the fire, so that our justice is not accomplished for the benefit of the legal heirs."

-James Guillaume, "L’Internationale, documents et souvenirs (1864-1878)"

Kickstarting the Next International by 2025 plan, aren't we? Amazing things happen whenever the dictatorship of the ruling class slips up

The only funnier case of such historical irony I can think of is Das Kapital being published in the Russian Empire because the censors thought "Almost nobody in Russia will read this book, and even fewer will understand it"

Love to see it!

Really interesting thing I glimpsed on rednote today

I think We- we’re developing international class consciousness

Armenian Miku 🇦🇲✨

[beastwhimsy]

"I should draw Māori Miku!" I said to myself. "Just a fun sketch, it shouldn't take me long" I said to myself. Six hours later I come to with this in front of me and a wrist begging for mercy but holy fuck worth it. I love this trend this was so much fun

PLEASE DON'T REPOST ON OTHER SITES!!! ASK ME FIRST!!!!!

DISCLAIMERS AND NOTES ETC.... I'm Pākehā, meaning I am not of Māori descent. I hold so much respect for Māori people, for their values and traditions, and for the fierce pride with which kapa haka is performed. I thought if I was going to design a Māori Miku, it makes sense to dress her in a kapa haka kākahu, as her whole thing is singing and dancing!!! The moko kauae is not based off any real person's. I referenced the temporary moko kauae a lot of kapa haka performers wear!! Was tricky finding out whether or not depicting her with a moko kauae was a good idea, so I went the safe route- showing an aspect of Māori culture without stepping over any boundaries!! Brown eyed Miku is everything to me shout out brown eyed Miku.... I referenced like seven different outfits to put hers together!! I really hope this looks accurate or at least passable. Thanks to adorkastock for the pose ref!!

Following the author of The Last Unicorn on Facebook is the only thing that makes being on that site worthwhile.

A little late to the party but after seeing so many Mikus in other cultures decided to do one from my own and well I’m from Pittsburgh and let me tell you our culture is road rage
