Esta biografía de Adrian Shubert, totalmente innovadora, va ya por su tercera edición 📚 No solo narra la vida de Baldomero Espartero (1793-1879), sino que ilumina aspectos más generales de la historia contemporánea de España y contribuye a una nueva forma de entender el siglo XXI.

A little update - we weren’t really posting on X as it stood, but after Musk’s behaviour yesterday we will no longer be posting anything on that site (and will eventually delete our account) and will be primarily posting here (or Mastodon).

This quote from Hannah Arendt feels pertinent today.

This was a piece that @dirkmoses.bsky.social and I wrote years ago debunking the Nazism - socialism link. It seems that every few years it has to be resurrected. www.abc.net.au/religion/naz...
Nazism, socialism and the falsification of history - ABC Religion & Ethics
If the Nazis were so obviously anti-socialist and committed to private property, and if socialists were among the earliest victims of the Nazi party, why are some claiming Hitler was a socialist?

Yesterday, @rtvecom.bsky.social broadcasted the documentary "Madrid Puerta de Escape". The film, which can now be accessed through the Spanish television's website RtvePlay, is special to me because the script was based on my own research. A brief thread about the experience and the outcome.
