Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli (1928 - 1969) was an Italian railroad worker and anarchist who fell to his death on this day in 1969 while being detained by Italian police. His death became the subject of the play "Accidental Death of an Anarchist" by Dario Fo.

Pinelli was a member of the Milan-based anarchist association named "Ponte della Ghisolfa", and was also the secretary of the Italian branch of the Anarchist Black Cross. He organized young anarchists in the "Gioventu Libertaria" (Libertarian Youth) in 1962 and helped found the "Sacco and Vanzetti anarchist association" in 1965.

A few days before Pinelli's death, Italian fascists from the "Ordine Nuovo" orchestrated a bombing campaign in Milan; one bomb in Piazza Fontana killed 17 people and injured 88. The bombing was blamed on Italian anarchists, and Pinelli was detained along with many other leftists, including Pietro Valpreda, who was falsely convicted and served eighteen years in prison.

Just before midnight on December 15th, 1969, Pinelli fell to his death from a fourth floor window of the Milan police station. Three police officers interrogating Pinelli, including Commissioner Luigi Calabresi, were put under investigation in 1971 for his death, but legal proceedings concluded it was due to accidental causes.

Calabresi was later gunned down at his home in 1972, for which left-wing journalist Adriano Sofri was convicted in 1997.

props to the Lower Decks writers for, after being told they're not getting any more seasons, deciding to destroy the cannon universe on their way out the door.

Is there a way to organize stuff numerically (using alphabetical sorting) if you have more than 9 things?
It's putting the two-digit numbers after 1 before 2 and so forth...and I'm at a loss of what to do. doggirl-sweat

This feels like the last chance to do revolution

With Republicans taking over every branch of government soon I feel like if something bigger doesn't erupt from all the anti-rich sentiment in common people at this very moment we're cooked for at least 4 years

And btw without a strong left at all in this country I doubt a spontaneous revolution would even be "good" and would probably lead to some fucked up right-populist fascism or something but hey there's like a chance it's not that

The raw strength of youth may be spent, but his eyes hold the secrets of a hundred campaigns.

On the Pinelli affair - anyone interested and in want of some entertainment should watch "Accidental Death of An Anarchist" by Dario Fo.

It's a counterinformation-comedy-farce by an ex-partisan Italian anarchist called Dario Fo. Him and his troupe used to perform it going town to town in the wake of the Pinelli affair, updating it daily so it was a sort of 'living newspaper' (when at the time actual newspaper info about it was being suppressed). The police often tried to stop them - through the use of violence, and once even kidnapping and SA'ing Fo's wife Franca Rame (who also performed in his plays).

Anyway, it's an absolute classic, and there's the English televised version from the 80's on YouTube, and the recorded version of the recent theatre revival I believe in the V+A online archives.

(mods pin this I really think it's one of the biggest cultural memories of the Pinelli affair both in Italy and across the world)

In recent 'my chef is a fucking dullard news: cause one of the scales we have doesn't turn off by itself anymore, instead of spending 20 bucks of not his money or removing the batteries, his solution was to flip one battery backwards each time he put it away. I'm guessing that's not good for.the scale but also it's meant we all thought it was broken for weeks cause it wouldn't turn on despite having recently changed batteries one day.

lol I really liked when I think media was like talking about the smallpox vaccine scar that Anya Taylor-joy and some other women have as a Latina thing. Like accidentally reinventing the worldwide Latina belt meme and inducting the entire non-western world into it.

Do mods/admins have the ability to 'move' posts to a different comm? I can't test since we only mod one (rip our short stint as a /c/cute mod). Seems like it'd be a useful feature if not.

Every day I say "Oh boy, I am going to finally read this book I've had on my bookshelf for 5 years! I can't wait!" Then I just sit on my couch and binge watch the sopranos
