Indian revolutionary and professor of English, Dr. G.N. Saibaba, has passed away. He died from a heart attack and medical complications resulting from his imprisonment and torture by the fascist Indian government. Read on about his legacy. 🧵 Image
Many are characterizing Saibaba’s passing as a summary execution by the Indian state. Saibaba was almost completely disabled from a childhood bout of polio. While detained, the state denied him medication and confiscated his wheelchair. Image
Saibaba suffered from further medical neglect when he contracted COVID-19 twice and swine flu on another occasion. He was targeted and humiliated by the state in order to make an example out of his advocacy for oppressed groups in India. Image

At least 31 alleged Maoist guerrillas have been killed by Indian police and paramilitary forces. The clashes are just the latest in the state’s coordinated efforts to crush the movement aiming to bring about socialist revolution. 🧵 Image
The Civil Liberties Committee of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh has called for an investigation into the killings. Some are alleging it was a “fake encounter” in which civilians, not Maoist guerrillas, were killed. Image
The attacks occurred in the Abujhmad forest in the eastern state of Chhattisgarh, a stronghold of the Maoist movement and an area which contains rich deposits of natural resources like iron and bauxite. Image

From October 7 onwards, Israel’s campaign of information warfare can be characterized as a constant stream of fake news and false narratives. Here we debunk some of the most egregious examples of their disinformation. 🧵 Image
Israel asserts its right to "self defense". However, under international law you do not have a right to defend yourself from a nation you are occupying, in fact, those being occupied are the ones with the right to self-defense under law.
Israel claims that they don’t violate international law. Aside from their numerous atrocities since October 7, their ongoing and expanding settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law, according to Article 49 of the Geneva convention. Image

Today marks “German Unity Day,” the reunification of Germany in 1990. While the elite celebrated the creation of a single German state, it was a neoliberal disaster for the citizens of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). 🧵 Image
The GDR, located in the eastern part of the country, identified itself as a “workers and peasants state” until 1990, when it was dismantled and transformed into a neoliberal experiment, primarily influenced by economist Hans Willgerodt. Image
Willgerodt advocated for deregulation and favored letting the integration of the GDR into the capitalist West German state unfold through “the market.” Image

44 years ago, Iraq attacked Iran, starting one of the deadliest and longest wars of the 20th century. Estimates of the death toll vary from 500,000 to 1.2 million, mostly Iranian fatalities. 🧵 Image
The war came a year after the Islamic Revolution in Iran that sent shockwaves across the region. Saddam Hussein, then President of Iraq, launched the war as he feared the Iranian ideology and revolution would spill over the border. Image
At the time, Iraq was allied with the United States against Iran. Saddam’s Ba’athist government received billions of dollars of economic and military assistance and training from the US and Europe. Image
