Is Abraham Lincoln Brigade Photo A Signal For Pending Rebellion?
The cover story of the Dec. 2023 issue of “In These Times” is titled “What Is To Be Done: The Spread Of The Far Right”.
Contained in the article is a photo so prominent that the image spans over two pages, reminiscent of a Marvel Comics “splash page”, of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
For those that are not familiar, the Abraham Lincoln Brigade was a group organized by the Communist International that fought in the Spanish Civil War against the Fascist-backed regime of Francisco Franco.
So if this photo spread is placed at the center of the article about what should be done about the far right, why should such a deliberate symbolic gesture be viewed as anything other than a call to violence should these leftist subversives not get the result that they demand come election day?
