Reminder that today is the birthday of comrade Allende, deposed by fascists with the help of the American imperialists.

America has the blood of many Chilean comrades on its hands but we should be sure to also remember the resistance to it. His final words, broadcast to the workers and people of Chile:

“Surely Radio Magallanes will be silenced, and the calm metal instrument of my voice will no longer reach you. It does not matter. You will continue hearing it. I will always be next to you. At least my memory will be that of a man of dignity who was loyal to [inaudible] the workers.

The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either.

Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again where free men will walk to build a better society.

Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!

These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason.”

What is marriage?

thepeacockangel:

Marriage is a lifetime commitment

Marriage is patience and understanding and lasting love

Marriage is a sacred vow

Marriage is tenderness and trust

Marriage is an increasingly complex geometric form

Marriage is the incomprehensible vastness of time

Marriage is squelching noises and erotic terror

Marriage is Kate Winslet in a film about making the film Titanic

Marriage is the wealth of nations and a small shoe

Marriage is a vision of distant fog veiled plains.

Marriage is  chaos.

Marriage is hot cocoa on a winter day

Marriage is someone to take care of you when you’re sick.

Marriage is an electrical storm on a mountain range.
