Natú Reads

The Mariátegui Project is a project from Natú Pizzella, who also makes free audiobooks of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and other revolutionary content. This project comes in response to the relative lack of availability of José Carlos Mariátegui’s works in English. Other than an anthology of his works released by Monthly Review Press, and his Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, the vast majority of his writings remain inaccessible to most English speakers. The goal of this project, then, is to slowly but surely make the remainder of Mariátegui’s works available in English. This is a reading of a translation available on the Mariátegui Project website.This piece was co-translated with @EnjoyDazibao.Read this text and more Mariátegui translations here:https://jcm-project.com/I collect no fees or advertising money by sharing translations or readings of important texts.

While friendly with countries such as the Soviet Union, Nkrumah's Ghana was part of the non-aligned movement, and Nkrumah's political philosophy is typically described as a syncretic mixture of Marxism and traditional African cultural ideas.While the defeats of socialist experiments in West African countries like Ghana and Guinea-Conakry urge reflection on the successes and failures of these ideologies and movements, Nkrumah remains a key figure in the history and competing ideologies of African liberation movements, and thus he, and Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism, his most famous work, merit study in order to enrich our understanding of African history.You can read a version of this text here:https://archive.org/details/NeoColonialismTheLastStageOfImperialism1966/page/n5/mode/2upI collect no fees or advertising money by sharing readings of important texts.

Siraj Sikder was an anti-revisionist Bengali revolutionary who formed the East Bengal Workers Movement, a militant formation of activists dedicated to the formation of an anti-revisionist communist party. The EBWM and Sikder specifically developed the thesis that East Bengal was a colony of Pakistan, and that the revolutionary path for the liberation of the East Bengali nation entailed the formation of a New Democratic republic through armed struggle. Only this, according to Sikder, would end the exploitation of the people of East Bengal by Pak colonialism, and later, the people of the newly-independent Bangladesh from Indian expansionism, Soviet social-imperialism, and US-led imperialism. To this end, he would go on to form the Proletarian Party of East Bengal and later the East Bengal United Liberation Front. After years of struggle against Pak military fascism and the local comprador and landlord puppets of foreign imperialism, Sikder would die in police custody in 1975.This piece is my edit of the English translation of the original piece, which can be found for free here:https://www.marxists.org/archive//sikder/1974/carry-on.htmI collect no fees or advertising money by sharing readings of important texts.

June 19th marks the international proletarian holiday known as the Day of Heroism, which commemorates the sacrifice of revolutionary prisoners in Peru's El Frontón, Lurigancho, and Callao prisons, who refused to give in to the fascist Peruvian state's genocidal attempts to snuff out the People's War in that country by fighting back at the cost of their own lives. The occasion of remembering the sacrifice made not only by members of the PCP and its EGP (Exército Guerrillero Popular/People's Guerrilla Army) but revolutionary members of the Peruvian masses, is a somber but uplifting one, a day to honor those who gave their lives for the advancement of the international proletariat and remember that to give oneself to the struggle for freedom is never in vain.This book is a compilation of declarations, documents, testimonies, and poetry compiled and translated by the now-defunct Fourth Sword Publications.
