'as mãos da revolução', 2024 or, 'the hands of the revolution' we're celebrating 50 years of the carnation revolution today in portugal - 50 years since the dictatorship fell, 50 years of being able to express yourself without fear of beatings, incarceration or worse.

it is a date that sits very close to my heart despite being a post-revolution baby. i have enjoyed over 30 years of freedom and i try to not take it for granted.

The revolution began as a coup organized by left-wing Portuguese military officers, the Armed Forces Movement, which led to the end of the Estado Novo fascist regime, and sparked a popular civil resistance campaign. Negotiations with African independence movements began, and by the end of 1974, Portuguese troops were withdrawn from Guinea-Bissau, soon followed in 1975 by the independence of Cape Verde, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe and Angola in Africa and the declaration of independence of East Timor in Southeast Asia.

April 25, 1974: Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, the opening of an enormous class battle that was profoundly influenced by the anti-colonial liberation struggles in Africa. ----------------- Sam Marcy, writing in 1975:

“A Communist takeover of Portugal,” said the New York Times on February 17, “might encourage a similar trend in Italy and France, create problems in Greece and Turkey, affect the succession in Spain and Yugoslavia and send tremors throughout Western Europe.” The Soviet Union is then warned that “détente will be the first casualty.”

In the face of brutal frankness and open threats, can there be any doubt that the imperialist powers are preparing the ground for another Chile on the Iberian Peninsula? Do not the working class parties have the right – in fact the sacred duty – to prepare the mass of the people in advance for precisely this eventuality in the kind of manner which would put an end not merely to fascist threats, but to the ruling class and the system of exploitation upon which it rests?

The way Lenin and Trotsky prepared for the Constituent Assembly in 1917 offers an exceptionally instructive lesson. While utilizing all the legal and electoral opportunities offered, the Bolsheviks, knowing full well the counter-revolutionary nature of the bourgeoisie, armed the masses ideologically, politically, and physically for the insurrection. It was thus that they put an end to bourgeois rule and transferred the real power into the hands of the workers and peasants.

This is a good example of the typical elementary school from the mid-XX Century in Portugal. This typology of school was created by an architect called Arnaldo Redondo Adães Bermudes, and I have to say that I quite like these buildings, even if, nowadays, they are no longer suited for the schools of the XXI Century. Nowadays, this one was converted into a multifunctional pavillion, and it can be found in Alter do Chão - albeit other towns in the Alentejo have similar schools, usually with those (rather charming) belfries.
