Radical abolitionist John Brown was executed on this day in 1859 for trying to spark a revolution to free millions held in bondage.
“I have only a short time to live, only one death to die, and I will die fighting for this cause.”

Swedish Social Democracy is often idealized as a reformist force that delivered welfare to the grateful masses.
Yet the Swedish social model was the product of conflict — and a working-class radicalism that the Social Democrats have now turned against.

Friedrich Engels was born 205 years ago today.
We should thank him for helping out his friend Karl Marx — but also for the critique of capitalism he produced in his own right.

you need to be able to demonstrate an understanding of what you did, empathy towards those affected, a resolution if applicable, and an action plan or a reasonable effort to prevent such things from re-occuring in the future.
"oh but they apologized so it's fine!" is NEVER inherently acceptable.

In my early 20s I felt so self conscious that everyone expected me to have everything figured out even though I was doing everything in life for the first time. Now that I am in my 30s, I now understand that nobody has anything figured out and feel way more comfortable admitting I don't know things.

At the Dawn of Capitalism, Charles Fourier Imagined a Socialist-Feminist Utopia
Two and a half centuries after his birth, the insightful, outlandish, yet oddly practical ideas of the utopian socialist writer Charles Fourier still seem shockingly modern.
