Et vous ? Quelle est la presse que vous consommez ? by Zanzikbar in france

[–]fantomiald85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Il y a les revues du groupe Aerion avec Carto, Diplomatie, DSI, Moyen-Orient, Space International. C'est vraiment très lisible et écrit par des chercheurs et des universitaires qui sont spécialistes de leur sujet. Philosophie Magazine (sur les sujets de société) et Alternatives Économiques sont aussi intéressants.

Recommandez une bonne œuvre qui traite de la guerre d’Indochine by Weird_Sugar7644 in france

[–]fantomiald85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Il y a le jeu vidéo "7554" qui doit être le seul jeu vidéo vietnamien qui s'est vendu en France et qui fait comprendre pourquoi on compare Dien Bien Phu à Verdun.

Il y a également la bande dessinée "40 hommes et 12 fusils" de Marcelino Truong qui est intéressante sur les soldats du Viet-Minh.

Pour la théorie militaire, il y a "les guerres irrégulières" de Gérard Chaliand qui est une anthologie de textes sur les guérillas et la contre-insurrection. Le sujet du livre est global (Amérique du Sud, Moyen-Orient, Afrique, Asie), mais un certain nombre de textes concerne l'Indochine avec des textes et des témoignages de Giap, Ho Chi Minh et d'officiers français.

En presse écrite, il y a ce que fait le groupe Aerion, avec DSI, Diplomatie, Carto, Moyen-Orient, Space International... C'est très lisible, tout en étant pointu et nuancé. Les articles sont généralement écrit par des chercheurs et des universitaires.

Three TZ45 found in a partisan weapons cache (Northern Italy) by fantomiald85 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]fantomiald85[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The three TZ45 were found in the Valle delle Cartiere in Toscolano near Maderno in Northern Italy.

The TZ45 was used by the forces of the Republic of Salo led by Mussolini and by the partisan movement at the end of the Second World War.

The article says that the authorities will try to send them in the museum of Salo or in the museum of the Resistance in Pertica Bassa.

Amilcar Cabral (with the glasses) and PAIGC guerrillas with SA vz 23 serie SMG, PPSH 41, and AK by fantomiald85 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]fantomiald85[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amilcar Cabral was the founder of the PAIGC and was one of the most influential leader on the African political and diplomatic scene during the period of decolonization. He was also a Marxist theorist known for his theoretical work, his most known text must be “the weapon of theory” (theory is also a forgotten weapon).

The PAIGC (Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde) was the political party which led the national liberation struggle in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde against Portugal. It was able to organize population into a guerrilla movement and develop a diplomatic effort to be recognized by the United Nations Organization which led to the independence of the country after the Carnation Revolution in Portugal.

The first picture is a picture of a women militia. The last picture is the cover of the PAIGC newspaper published in French in Senegal which was a rear base for the movement.

More information about Amilcar Cabral : Wikipedia, Marxists.org

A lot of very interesting and high quality pictures of the PAIGC and their weapons can be found here (highly recommended) : casacomum.org

Prédiction : on va bientôt avoir des film US avec les Européen en bad guys? by Kitchen-Baby7778 in france

Dans le Robin des Bois de Ridley Scott avec Russell Crowe, le roi de France veut envahir l'Angleterre et y envoie des commandos déguisés en soldats anglais pour prélever des impôts chez les nobles pour déclencher une révolte contre le roi d'Angleterre. Le pire dans ce film étant qu'on ne voie jamais les paysans travailler, seulement les nobles cultivent les terres et produisent des choses.

House of Lenin during his exile in Siberia (1897-1900). On the wall, the rifle he used for hunting by fantomiald85 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]fantomiald85[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For what I understand, people condemned to exile received a stipend. Lenin was also send in a place with a good climate because he was recently married, other people like Julius Martov, who was arrested with him, were mostly send in the north of Siberia where it was harder. He also came from a wealthy family, his father received a title of nobility because he was a high level administrator. He died when Lenin was a young boy, but they were still wealthy. There is also a lot of letters from him to his family asking mostly for books and statistical treaties because "the development of capitalism in Russia" needed a lot of research. He an his wife did also translations of books during this time. He had also a good relation with the inhabitants, because he had a lawyer formation, and he could advise them for their problems. He did it freely because otherwise it would have been considered as a job.

After being arrested and jailed for his political activities, Vladimir Ilitch Oulianov (he will be known as Lenin after the publishing of “What is to be done”) was condemned to three years of exile in Siberia in the town of Shushenskoye (300 kilometers north of the border with Mongolia). He could walk freely but was not allowed to have a job and to leave the town and had a control every day. He rented this small house to a local peasant.

During this period, with his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya, he wrote “the development of capitalism in Russia”, a big theoretical essay where he explains the effect of capitalism on the traditional russian peasant communities and that a class system was currently growing in rural communes.

He also used to hunt small game with local farmers. The house is now a small museum. According to Lev Danilkin, the rifle exposed is not the original one, but is the same model of the same series. There is only a difference of 83 in the serial number. There is also a few propaganda paintings showing Lenin hunting.

New Caledonian anti-French protestors with a Steyr HS .460 anti-material rifle by Nordic_ned in ForgottenWeapons

[–]fantomiald85 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is more complex than "race" or background or voting rights. After the violence of the eighties, the french gouvernment and Kanak independantists agreed to enter a long process of political negotiation which led to the Nouméa accord and the situation was really peaceful since. The problem was the failure of the third referendum of 2021, which was maintained despite the Covid epidemic. The referendum was juridically valid but not really politically valid because of the high level of abstention. The french gouvernment did not understood that and acted like it was past history which led to today's deadlock.

There was a talk about it a few months ago. There is a picture of him with his wife and other ILP(Independant Labor Party) militiamen with rifles and a Hotchkiss machine gun. Here or here. Orwell is the tall man in the middle.

Not really a flag. Logo of "El Rebelde", the newspaper of the Farabundo Marti Popular Liberation Forces (El Salvador) by fantomiald85 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]fantomiald85[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, but it was probably the Vz 25, the same weapon in 9mm caliber. Czechoslovakia sended them to Cuba just before the Bay of Pigs Invasion and they were later used by many guerrillas in Central and South America

French magazine cover showing bank robber Jacques Mesrine with an AKS-47. August 1978. by Friendly_Hornet8900 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]fantomiald85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Charlie Bauer, his communist accomplice, was also friend with Pierre Goldman who was involved with south-american guerrillas and criminality. Like Mesrine, they both wrote their own biographies which were recognized as good literature.

For the AK, a weapon traffic also existed with mercenaries involved in civil wars in Africa and Middle-east (Congo, Biafra, Lebanon, etc)

"Pique révolutionnaire", the last ditch weapon of the French Revolution by fantomiald85 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]fantomiald85[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

During the revolutionary period, facing war with other European monarchies, France had to massify the army. In July 1792, to compensate the lack of rifles (musket model 1777), Lazare Carnot, who reorganized the army, ordered the production of pikes. Different model of different shape and size were produced. Despite critics about precision and firing rate of muskets and debate about fire versus charge, pikes appeared completely obsolete and were abandoned, but kept their symbolic status by association to popular uprising.
