Born in St. Petersburg in 1872 to an aristocratic family, she broke with her class after seeing the poverty of textile workers. In 1905 she witnessed the massacre of peaceful marchers on Bloody Sunday, and she devoted herself to the socialist movement. She organized working women, helped build the international socialist women's movement alongside Clara Zetkin, and was forced into exile for her activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the October Revolution of 1917, Kollontai became People's Commissar of Social Welfare, one of the first women in the world to hold a government ministry. The revolutionary government legalized divorce and civil marriage and established maternity care and protections for working mothers. In 1920 it made the Soviet Union the first country to legalize abortion. Kollontai helped found and led the Zhenotdel, the Communist Party's women's department, which organized millions of working and peasant women and fought for literacy, childcare, and communal kitchens and laundries to free women from domestic drudgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her writings, from The Social Basis of the Woman Question to her essays on love and the family, Kollontai argued that capitalism turned the family into a unit of private property and dependence. She held that communism would make possible new relationships based on equality, solidarity, and free choice. She later served as one of the world's first women ambassadors, representing the Soviet Union in Norway, Mexico, and Sweden. Kollontai died in 1952. Her legacy endures as a vision of revolution that transforms not only the economy and the state but everyday life, love, and the relations between women and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1 print shipped in a rigid mailer (made from recycled cardstock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted on acid-free, premium matte-photo paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\"\u003epaper weight + thickness: 250\/m² \/ 66lbs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\"\u003e*frame not included*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Color Collective Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238968594603,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/7458\/2882\/files\/AlexandraKollontai11x17SQUAREPosterFrameMockUp.jpg?v=1738468324"},{"product_id":"amilcar-cabral","title":"Amílcar Cabral","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmílcar Cabral was an agronomist, revolutionary theorist, and leader of the liberation struggle of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. He is one of the most original thinkers of the anticolonial movement. Born in 1924 in Bafatá, in what was then Portuguese Guinea, to Cape Verdean parents, he studied agronomy in Lisbon. There, with Agostinho Neto and other students from Portugal's African colonies, he worked to \"re-Africanize\" their minds and prepare for liberation. Working as an agronomist, he carried out an agricultural census across Guinea and gained a deep knowledge of the land, the peasantry, and the structure of colonial society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1956 Cabral founded the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde, the PAIGC. After Portuguese troops massacred striking dockworkers at Pidjiguiti in 1959, the party prepared for armed struggle, and in 1963 the war of liberation began. In the zones freed from Portuguese rule, the PAIGC built schools, clinics, people's stores, and elected village committees, creating a new society even before the war was won. Cabral taught his comrades to \"tell no lies, claim no easy victories,\" and to build the revolution on the real conditions and needs of the people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn speeches such as \"The Weapon of Theory\" and \"National Liberation and Culture,\" Cabral argued that culture is an act of resistance against domination. He held that liberation means a people reclaiming the right to make their own history. He also called on the educated petty bourgeoisie to commit \"class suicide\" and dissolve into the struggle of the masses. On January 20, 1973, he was assassinated in Conakry by men within his own movement tied to the Portuguese colonial police. That same year Guinea-Bissau declared its independence, and the collapse of Portugal's empire soon followed. Cabral's legacy endures as a model of revolutionary leadership rooted in culture, study, and an unbreakable commitment to the people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1 print shipped in a rigid mailer (made from recycled cardstock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted on acid-free, premium matte-photo paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\" id=\"productTitle\"\u003epaper weight + thickness: 250\/m² \/ 66lbs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\"\u003e*frame not included*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Color Collective Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238982979755,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/7458\/2882\/files\/AmilcarCabral11x17SQUAREPosterFrameMockUp.jpg?v=1738468205"},{"product_id":"antonio-gramsci","title":"Antonio Gramsci","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist revolutionary and theorist whose ideas on culture and power transformed how revolutionaries understand the struggle for a new world. Born in Sardinia in 1891, he grew up poor and in chronic illness in one of Italy's most neglected regions, an experience that shaped his lifelong attention to the oppressed South and the peasantry. Winning a scholarship to the University of Turin, he joined the socialist movement in Italy's great industrial city. During the factory occupations of 1919 and 1920, his newspaper L'Ordine Nuovo championed the workers' councils as the seeds of a new society run by working people themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1921 Gramsci helped found the Communist Party of Italy and became its leader as Mussolini's fascists seized power. He was elected to parliament, but in 1926 the fascist regime arrested him despite his parliamentary immunity. At his trial the prosecutor declared that his brain must be stopped from working for twenty years.

He called on the working class to build its own counter-hegemony through what he called organic intellectuals and a long war of position. Gramsci died in 1937 at forty-six, days after his release.

Working as a waiter, porter, and laborer, he met American racism head-on.

Born in Chicago in 1941 and raised in Los Angeles, he was convicted at eighteen of taking part in a seventy-dollar gas station robbery. Under California's indeterminate sentencing he was given one year to life, and he spent the rest of his life behind bars, much of it in solitary confinement. There he transformed prison into a site of political awakening and study, reading Marx, Lenin, Mao, and Fanon. In 1966, with W.L. Nolen, he co-founded the Black Guerrilla Family, a Marxist-Leninist organization of prisoners that linked the struggles of incarcerated people to the fight against capitalism, white supremacy, and US empire. He later became a Field Marshal of the Black Panther Party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1970 Jackson and two other Black prisoners, Fleeta Drumgo and John Clutchette, were charged with killing a guard at Soledad prison. The killing came days after another guard shot three Black prisoners dead in a prison yard, Nolen among them. The \"Soledad Brothers\" became a cause that drew in Angela Davis and a broad movement of supporters. That year Jackson's prison letters were published as Soledad Brother, and the book became an international classic of the Black radical tradition. In it he argued that prisons were not broken institutions but functioning tools of state repression aimed above all at Black radicalism. In August 1970 his seventeen-year-old brother Jonathan was killed during an armed attempt to free political prisoners at the Marin County courthouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn August 21, 1971, George Jackson was shot dead by guards at San Quentin, a killing widely regarded as an assassination and one the state's account has never convincingly explained. Weeks later, prisoners at Attica rose up, in part to honor his memory. His second book, Blood in My Eye, was published after his death, and imprisoned comrades founded Black August to commemorate his life. His legacy endures in the movement to abolish prisons and in his conviction that even in the belly of the beast, it is possible to fight and to lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1 print shipped in a rigid mailer (made from recycled cardstock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted on acid-free, premium matte-photo paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\"\u003epaper weight + thickness: 250\/m² \/ 66lbs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\"\u003e*frame not included*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Color Collective Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42239010406571,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/7458\/2882\/files\/GeorgeJackson11x17SQUAREPosterFrameMockUp.jpg?v=1738468335"},{"product_id":"grace-lee-boggs","title":"Grace Lee Boggs","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrace Lee Boggs was a philosopher, writer, and revolutionary organizer whose seventy years of struggle made her one of the most original thinkers of the American left.

Born Nomzamo Winifred Madikizela in Pondoland in the Eastern Cape in 1936, she became the first Black medical social worker at Johannesburg's Baragwanath Hospital, where she saw firsthand the poverty and disease that apartheid inflicted on Black South Africans. In 1958 she married Nelson Mandela, and she joined the ANC Women's League and the growing movement against the apartheid regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964, she refused to retreat into silence and became one of the most visible faces of the struggle at home. The apartheid state answered with relentless persecution. She was banned, placed under constant surveillance, and harassed by the security police. In 1969 she was detained under the Terrorism Act and held for more than a year, much of it in solitary confinement, where she was interrogated and abused. In 1977 the regime banished her to the remote town of Brandfort, hoping to isolate her from the movement. There she organized local residents and defied her banning orders, and her home was firebombed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough it all she refused to bow, and the people of South Africa's townships came to call her the Mother of the Nation. Her courage inspired a generation of young militants who rose up against apartheid in the 1970s and 1980s. After apartheid fell, she served in Parliament, as a deputy minister, and as president of the ANC Women's League, and she remained a fierce voice for the poor and for those she believed the new South Africa had left behind. She died in 2018. Her legacy endures as a symbol of uncompromising resistance and of the women who carried the liberation struggle on their shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Color Collective Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44897221247147,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/7458\/2882\/files\/WinnieMandela11x17SQUAREPosterFrameMockUp.jpg?v=1738447571"},{"product_id":"ernesto-che-guevara-11-x-17-poster-print","title":"Ernesto \"Che\" Guevara","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eErnesto “Che” Guevara was an Argentine-born physician who became one of the twentieth century’s most influential revolutionaries and an enduring symbol of internationalism. His travels across Latin America as a young medical student showed him the poverty, disease, and exploitation that US-backed regimes and foreign capital left in their wake.

Sankara cut the salaries and privileges of officials, himself included, and urged Burkinabè to \"consume what we produce.\" He held that a people who rely on foreign aid and imports can never be free. He placed women's liberation at the center of the revolution: he campaigned against forced marriage and female genital cutting and appointed women to positions of real power.

He returned again and again to stand with the movement. In The Fire Next Time and Notes of a Native Son, he argued that white supremacy was not a Black problem but a sickness at the center of the nation, rooted in the country's refusal to face its history.
