TL;DR: Amarante et al. as mentioned in this paper present a foto de Fidel and sus companeros, con sus barbas, sus uniformes verde olivo y sus fusiles, cambiaria para siempre mi generacion.
Abstract: El mundo estaba en guerra o, por lo menos, el resto del mundo cuando nacimos. No quedaba claro contra quien peleaban, pero si que el gran vencedor apuntaban a ser los EUA – cuna de la democracia y la libertad. Ese era el escenario mundial que nos aguardaba acompanado de la fecha fundamental para toda mi generacion: 1959 y el triunfo de la Revolucion Cubana. La foto de Fidel y sus companeros, con sus barbas, sus uniformes verde olivo y sus fusiles, cambiaria para siempre mi generacion. Hasta ese momento revolucion era algo lejano, asiatico: de Rusia, de China. La victoria represento la actualidad de la revolucion en toda America Latina, que nunca mas seria la misma desde entonces. Palabras clave: America Latina, Revolucion Cubana, Brasil, Socialismo. ABSTRACT

TL;DR: The underground struggle was especially hard because the Germans made even the possession of "communistic ideas" a crime as discussed by the authors, and approximately 5,500 militant members were sent to concentration camps and 2,000 were shot or'murdered'.
Abstract: militant members were free to participate in the underground movement, but did so on their individual responsibility. Only after many months did some of the Socialist, Catholic, and Liberal leaders consider reconstituting their parties in the underground. The Communist Party, however, harboring no illusions concerning the persecution to which it would be subjected by Hitlerismwhich it had constantly denounced as being the worst enemy of the workers-secretly carried on as before. The underground struggle was especially hard because the Germans made even the possession of "communistic ideas" a crime. Approximately 5,500 militant members were sent to concentration camps and 2,000 were shot or 'murdered. But every day new fighters took the places of the fallen, and in spite of cruel losses, the party had more members when the day of liberation came than when the Germans invaded the country. Throughout, the party retained its solid structure and organization and gave all its members strict orders to join the resistance movement. Nor was resistance postponed until the Germans launched their attack against Soviet Russia. In May 1941, 100,000 Liege workers, under the leadership of Julien Lahaut, chairman of the party and a member of the Belgian Parliament, instigated the first large-scale strike aimed at the occupation forces. About the same time, the Communist Party appealed to all patriots to join hands in co-ordinating their efforts and form a great Independence Front, regardless of their political opinions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical and heuristic value of the concepts of formalsubsumption, real subsumption and general intellect for any interpretation of the present change of the capital/labour relation in cognitive capitalism is discussed.
Abstract: Since the crisis of Fordism, capitalism has been characterised by the ever more central role ofknowledge and the rise of the cognitive dimensions of labour. This is not to say that the centralityof knowledge to capitalism is new per se. Rather, the question we must ask is to what extent we canspeak of a new role for knowledge and, more importantly, its relationship with transformations inthe capital/labour relation. From this perspective, the paper highlights the continuing validity ofMarx's analysis of the knowledge/power relation in the development of the division of labour. Moreprecisely, we are concerned with the theoretical and heuristic value of the concepts of formalsubsumption, real subsumption and general intellect for any interpretation of the present change ofthe capital/labour relation in cognitive capitalism. In this way, we show the originality of the generalintellect hypothesis as a sublation of real subsumption. Finally, the article summarises keycontradictions and new forms of antagonism in cognitive capitalism.
