Born 1904 - Kilifarevo, Bulgaria, died May 28th 1925 - Belovo, Bulgaria.

Born in Kilifarevo, Bulgaria on 14th August 1904, the student-actress Mariola Sirakova belonged to a well-off family. She revolted from an early age against her social background and became an anarchist communist when she went to the Girls High School at Tarnovo in 1919.

She regularly took part in secret anarchist meetings.

She began a relationship with another Bulgarian anarchist, Gueorgui Cheitanov. She associated with other important anarchists like Petar Maznev, Georgi Simeonov Popov, and others. In her frre time, she acted in the Orpheus Theatre Company in Kilifarevo. In 1922-23 she studied in Pleven. She often hid wanted anarchists like Vassil Popov and Valko Shankov

In 1923 a military coup led to the butchery of 35,000 workers and peasants. The armed resistance that followed ended with the bomb attack by the Communist Party on Sofia cathedral which was aimed at the country's elite. A massive campaign of repression was then unleashed by the fascists and military against the revolutionary movement.

Mariola was arrested by the police, and brutally beaten. In June 1924 she returned to Kilifarevo. She was arrested again, but soon released. She gave support to the Kilifarevo cheta (armed guerilla unit), bringing them food, medicine and clothes and caring for the wounded.

Special police detachments were set up to hunt Cheitanov down. All the guerrillas united into a single detachment, being forced to disperse towards the end of May. Cheitanov and Mariola Sirakova, were caught in an ambush and arrested. They were taken to Belovo railway station and shot with 12 other prisoners on May 28th June 1925.

    Not very legible.

    Original comment:

    It’s not greed to set a price at the highest point a company thinks it will sell for. You don’t have to buy it. Prove them wrong yourself. You guys deem it greed cuz instead of making the money for a product you want you sit and complain on Reddit for longer than it would take to earn the money.

    Go make more money if this is too expensive nothing is stopping you. If you think paying 25 for 100 hours of entertainment sucks you will literally have the worst life lol. Are you gonna live the rest of it not entertaining yourself

    Best system humans have ever created thus far.

    My reply:

    Good grief, you're such a pathetic fucking bootlicker. You're a freaking peasant like the rest of us, you'll never be a billionaire no matter how much you defend their abhorrent business practices, but you're too much of a worm to even do the bare minimum of complaining on reddit. No, not only are you too much of a slimy little earthworm to complain, you defend your corporate overlords on here, you defend them squeezing as much profit out of the world as possible so they can buy their 3rd and 4th yacht and fuck minors on Epstein island, and then you call the system that enables them to do that the "best system humans have ever created".

    These people could literally grab you by your ears and piss down your throat and you would thank them for it. Stop hiding behind this "that's just how the world works" mentality and question the status quo for once in your life. Corporations maximizing profits at all costs is not a law of nature, it's not an unchangeable fact of life, it's the result of an economic system that was created and can be changed by people, unfortunately bootlickers like you would rather take a bullet for their corporate overlords before letting any kind of systemic change happen.

    I know it's a dumb reddit argument but it felt cathartic to write

      @Civility@hexbear.net forgive me

      Edit: LMAO they replied and included this line:

      (r-slur) with no business sense and his buzzwords: “Abhorrent” “corporate overlords” “ boot licker” meanwhile 98% of them do it lol. It’s not unusual

      My man just saw the word "abhorrent" for the first time lmaoooo this isn't even my first language bozo. Link if you have nothing better to do

      I'm not gonna reply again, it's a gibberish response and my time would be better spent arguing with my labrador retriever. This person believes finance capitalism is an unchangeable fact of nature, all their arguments boil down to "well everyone's doing it, so it's moral and smart actually and not greedy". Tell them to think outside of that pathetically narrow box and they'll throw a temper tantrum before going back to rimming their boss' asshole. Too much of a coward to stop hiding behind their "that's just how it is" rhetoric and actually question why things are the way they are.

      My recent fav response was: "Nancy Pelosi may perhaps be bad but she shouldnt be in jail because she didn't break any laws." Pedantic redditor idiocy

      I used to "debate" on capitalismvsocialism which was mostly just name-calling, still thinking about the dude who in his earlier comments complained about being a fucked over middle aged line cook making minimum wage but he was pro libertarian and pro billionaire.

      Also, people always got so mad if you dug into their post histories like it was something secret lmao.
