2011: a year of revolution and rebellion

by Liam Ward

In 2011 people across the world put revolution back on the agenda. Here are some highlights. From overthrown dictators to deputy prime ministers assaulted with yoghurt, it’s all here.

Note:
(1) the video was originally compiled for an audience in Melbourne, Australia, hence the occasional and possibly odd-looking sequences of the small but important protests in our little city
(2) it was edited in early December, so it misses some of the great developments in the last few weeks of 2011 (eg. the mass pro-democracy protests in Moscow, the climax of the rebellion in the Chinese village of Wukan, and the latest developments in the ongoing Arab revolutions).

marxismconference:

Marxism 2012 is honoured to have one of the leading activists from the Palestinian town Ni’lin speak on the struggle for Palestinian rights and against the apartheid wall.

The Israeli apartheid wall (3 times as long and twice as high as the Berlin wall) is designed to parcel off Palestinian land and to intimidate Palestinians. The population of Ni’lin have become famous the world over for their weekly demonstrations against the Israeli constructed concrete wall which runs right through their village.

For more information on their struggle go to:

cool-ass-shit:

This is a photo of the first Black girl to attend an all white school in the United States—Dorothy Counts—being jeered and taunted by her white, male peers. This photo encompasses a lot of things that I really hate: prejudice, ignorance, racism, sexism, inequality…

I’ve reblogged this photo a few times before but it always needs to be reblogged again.

This picture makes me really sad. I am unbelievably impressed with her bravery.

People like this woman, and the strength and bravery they have shown in their lives is absolutely awe inspiring.

I love her face. It’s pure defiance. It’s “Come at me, bro” in it’s purest form. She’s a hero.

A fuck can not be found.
