Born 1904 - Kilifarevo, Bulgaria, died May 28th 1925 - Belovo, Bulgaria.
Born in Kilifarevo, Bulgaria on 14th August 1904, the student-actress Mariola Sirakova belonged to a well-off family. She revolted from an early age against her social background and became an anarchist communist when she went to the Girls High School at Tarnovo in 1919.
She regularly took part in secret anarchist meetings.
She began a relationship with another Bulgarian anarchist, Gueorgui Cheitanov. She associated with other important anarchists like Petar Maznev, Georgi Simeonov Popov, and others. In her frre time, she acted in the Orpheus Theatre Company in Kilifarevo. In 1922-23 she studied in Pleven. She often hid wanted anarchists like Vassil Popov and Valko Shankov
In 1923 a military coup led to the butchery of 35,000 workers and peasants. The armed resistance that followed ended with the bomb attack by the Communist Party on Sofia cathedral which was aimed at the country’s elite. A massive campaign of repression was then unleashed by the fascists and military against the revolutionary movement.
Mariola was arrested by the police, and brutally beaten. In June 1924 she returned to Kilifarevo. She was arrested again, but soon released. She gave support to the Kilifarevo cheta (armed guerilla unit), bringing them food, medicine and clothes and caring for the wounded.
Special police detachments were set up to hunt Cheitanov down. All the guerrillas united into a single detachment, being forced to disperse towards the end of May. Cheitanov and Mariola Sirakova, were caught in an ambush and arrested. They were taken to Belovo railway station and shot with 12 other prisoners on May 28th June 1925.

federation is simply the best
We can’t even get the bots we want to work half the time

The 10% overlap.
They really can’t imagine a community existing before they knew about it.
Why is the intersection nonempty

I honestly enjoy holding hands and walking around cute places together as much as sex. This isn’t a bit, this isn’t the tired old anime joke about landholding being indecent. I’m just a slut for holding hands.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of that really good batch of fried rice I made three days ago. You were a good batch, you had the proper amounts of garlic, fried rice powder, and lemon pepper, that any fried rice should have. I cherished our brief time together, and I deeply regret not cooking more rice with your ingredients, so that you might have lasted a little longer. Thank you.
supervisor for the shift before mine is just wearing a shirt with very prominent SS bolts on it nobody seems to notice or if they noticed they didn’t say anything.
ig i mention this site too often bc my partner just threatened that they’d expose all my secrets to “my hexbear friends” :cri:
We can all make the joke “oh, if I were to rearrange the alphabet I’d put U and I together” but the fella that invented Qwerty really went and did it.
Honestly the folks at lemmy.world weren’t cowards for defederating from us pre-emptively, they’re cowards for not admitting they did it because we’re such an active instance that we’d eat up their entire frontpage
After site went down just now, it feels way more responsive and snappy
On this site, people often suggest Dimitrov’s work from 1935 as Marxist theory to learn about fascism. People shouldn’t do that, as there are many, many flaws with Dimitrov’s analysis of fascism. It’s better to suggest historians who analyse fascist ideology and clarify the various positions historians have, like Robert Paxton in The Anatomy of Fascism (2005), and Roger Griffin The Nature of Fascism (1993). Or, if you’re Dutch, Te Slaa’s Fascisme from last year. No historian, not even the Marxist ones, thinks fascism was simply “a result” of capitalist crisis, or a “terrorist dictatorship” without mass support. This is in part thanks to the numerous empirical studies and historical research done in the past 50 years. I’ll close this comment with an excerpt from Kitchen’s Fascism (1976).
The Comintern failed to see the importance of the mass base of fascism and thus underestimated both its offensive strength and its staying power. Greater emphasis on the mass base of fascism would also have prevented the Comintern from thinking of fascist movements as being little more than the paid agents of monopoly capitalism with virtually no autonomy. It was a strikingly crude example of vulgar Marxist determinist economism, which denied Marx’s insistence on the dialectical relationship between basis and superstructure and which reduced dialectical materialism to a mono-causal determinism. Dimitroff’s speech to the Seventh Congress remains the basis of the present-day Marxist-Leninist heteronomic theory of fascism. Fascism is seen as an essentially dependent movement, for fascists are the agents of monopoly capitalism with little autonomous will. The problem with this theory is to provide adequate empirical data on the ways in which big capital supposedly dominated the fascist movement. [Hexbear note: empirical data showed the inverse was true, and fascism had great support from the masses.]
Note: I don’t recommend Kitchen’s book, I recommend the two I mentioned above, but his overview of the development of the Comintern’s view of fascism in the intro is great.
tl;dr: want to learn about fascism? Read books by historians, not politicians!
I’ll add this stuff to the reading list I’ll get to in a couple decades. Sincere thanks.
