Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song “A Las Barricadas”.
Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of “A Las Barricadas” to the tune of “Warszawianka 1905 roku”, itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

Xi is visiting my country at the moment, and the libs on my country’s subreddit are (predictably) spamming Winnie the Pooh and social credit memes
Malaysia?
Yup. It’s all either the most cliched sinophobic meming you’ve seen, bitching about traffic caused by Xi’s presidential convoy (kinda reasonable I guess because they’re closing off or redirecting something like 17 highways, but it’s just 3 days), or getting performatively offended because the state visit got headline & special pullout coverage in the Chinese & state-linked newspapers (they’re making a minor fuss that a long-planned state visit is overshadowing ex-PM Abdullah Badawi’s sudden passing, but who the fuck cares about the guy who was basically Malaysian Sleepy Joe - a mostly ineffectual centre-right figurehead propped up by and upholding a wider reactionary establishment political apparatus, who is now somehow retrospectively praised by liberals because he’s supposedly an improvement over a more disruptive and proactively-right-wing/authoritarian predecessor; and (ii) the guy died at like 7pm local time; papers have already gone to press, literally just wait one day lah you entitled babies).
