Happy birthday to Rosario Sánchez Mora, the woman who literally blew up fascists in the Spanish Civil War! 🧵 Image
Aged only 17 years old, she joined the revolutionary militias to resist Franco’s fascist army and fought on the front lines defending Madrid. Mora was known for her mastery of explosives, which earned her the nickname ‘the Dynamiter.’ Image
After the defeat of the Republic, the Fascists captured Mora and sentenced her to death. She was imprisoned with other anarchist, socialist, and communist women, who were subjected to torture, murder, and separation from their children. Image
Despite all the hardship, Sánchez Mora was eventually released due to overcrowding in political prisons. She made a living by selling cigarettes in Madrid. She continued to fight for what she believed in until her death on April 17, 2008.

Today marks the 153rd birthday of Vladimir Lenin, the iconic Russian communist revolutionary who forever changed world history. What can today's socialists learn from Lenin's legacy?🧵 Image
Lenin believed in utilizing electoral politics to expose the capitalist system's flaws and push for reforms that would empower the workers' movement. Image
However, Lenin later clashed with the reformists and pushed for a communist vanguard party committed to overthrowing the capitalist state completely. Image

Wilma and Benito Tiamzon, the highest ranking members of the Communist Party of the Philippines, along with eight of their comrades, were massacred by the Philippines' military (AFP) with the support of US military advisors, according to a new report. 🧵 Image
The report published by the CPP's Political Bureau disputes the AFP's claim that the victims, dubbed the "Catbalogan 10" were killed in August last year when their boat "suddenly exploded" during a firefight with a US trained and commanded unit of the AFP. Image
The report says the "claimed mid-sea firefight and explosion were...hatched by the AFP and its US military advisers", adding that the tortured and executed bodies of the Tiamzons and their comrades were blown up at sea by the AFP to hide all evidence of their "fascist crime". Image

On this day in 1919, Britain committed the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre (Amritsar Massacre), one of the worst killing sprees by British forces during its colonial occupation of India. Hundreds of unarmed civilians were killed, an atrocity Britain still refuses to apologize for.🧵 Image
The massacre was not an isolated incident. Tensions spilled over when British colonial authorities passed the Rowlatt Act on March 10, 1919, authorizing the government to imprison or confine, without trial, any person associated with "seditious" activities. Image
In response, Muslim and Hindu leaders formed a united front and the two communities decided to mark Ram Navami Day on April 9th as National Unity Day. Image

On this day in 1971, German communist Monika Ertl gunned down "the executioner of Che Guevara", who was a brutal right-wing Bolivian colonel called Roberto Pereira. 🧵
Surprisingly, Ertl was the daughter of a Nazi propagandist who had fled to Bolivia. She was raised surrounded by her family's Nazi friends, such as Gestapo chief Klaus Barbie, aka the "Butcher of Lyon", who British director Kevin Macdonald alleges orchestrated Guevara's murder.
Monika cut ties with her fascist family and grew closer to the Communist cause. She was deeply moved by Che Guevara's assassination in 1967 which led to her joining the National Liberation Army of Bolivia (ELN), which Che headed prior to his death.
