MortarBoardCULong CU Postings to Whatsapp, 6-7 March 2017 International Women's Day - A Militant Celebration Women's Day or Working Women's Day is a day of international solidarity, and a day for reviewing the strength and organization of proletarian women. The 8th of March is a historic and memorable day for the workers and peasants, for all the Russian workers and for the workers of the whole world. In 1917, on this day, the great February revolution broke out. It was the working women of Petersburg who began this revolution; it was they who first decided to raise the banner of opposition to the Tsar and his associates. And so, working women's day is a double celebration for us. - https://www.marxists.org/archive/kollonta/1920/womens-day.htm SACP won't back 'radical looting' Mapaila said a culture had been created, and that it was strange that the ANC would elect Ramaphosa as deputy president if it had no intention of making him president. "This thing - you may call it a culture or a tradition - has been traced back to the 1950s. So now there's a deputy president and suddenly numerous hurdles are being placed in front of him?" He said although there was talk of the ANC being ready for a woman president, simply placing a woman as head of the party would not be enough to fight a patriarchal system. - https://mg.co.za/article/2017-03-03-00-sacp-wont-back-radical-looting President Zuma nominates President of the Supreme Court of Appeal President Jacob Zuma has, in terms of the Constitution, nominated Madam Justice Mandisa Muriel Lindelwa Maya as the President of the Supreme Court of Appeal.

Trump is not White Trash - he is a billionaire - but Trump is clearly the first White Trash President. Trump was elected to smash the system. This is something which White Trash has wanted to do since always. Smashing the system is what revolution is: you chase out the rich, you retake control of the armed forces and you finally reflect the democratic will. - http://thesaker.is/white-trash-both-a-book-and-trump-revolution/ Argentina Teachers Unions Strike, Boycotting 1st Day of Classes Argentine teachers kicked off a 48-hour national strike Monday that postponed the scheduled beginning of the classes in the country in order to demand better working conditions and salary increases.
