In 1573, Matija Gubec led the Slovene-Croatian Peasant Revolt, a courageous uprising against the oppressive noble rulers of the time. Gubec’s fight was rooted in justice, equality, and the rights of the oppressed peasants. However, his rebellion was brutally crushed by the Habsburgs, who executed him in a public display of violence.Today, the Matija Gubec Monument in Stubičke Toplice stands as a symbol of resistance and defiance against tyranny. It commemorates the historical significance of Gubec’s leadership and his tragic fate, but it also raises important questions

Gubec’s Manifesto 2025: A Call for Justice and Freedom - "I stood against the lords who crushed my people under their boots. They took our land, our labor, and called it their right. For that, they crowned me with fire. But if I walked these streets today, would I see freedom? Or would I see new masters, dressed in suits instead of armor, ruling from glass towers instead of castles?"

1. No One Should Be a Slave to Survival

"I fought because no one should work from sunrise to sunset and still go to bed hungry. Yet today, I see workers breaking their backs while the rich grow fatter. Wages that don’t cover rent, jobs that steal time from families, and hands that build wealth they will never touch. This is not freedom. This is a new kind of feudalism."

🔹 Fair wages, job security, and dignity for every worker.
🔹 No more billionaires built on the suffering of the poor.

2. Power Must Belong to the People

"I led farmers and laborers against those who ruled without listening. Today, they wear different clothes, but their greed remains the same. Politicians who serve their pockets instead of their people. Laws that protect the powerful and punish the weak. Where is justice in that?"

🔹 Real democracy means leaders who serve, not rule.
🔹 Corrupt politicians must fall, just like the lords before them.

3. A Home Is a Right, Not a Privilege

"I saw families with no land to farm, forced to bow before men who owned everything. Now, I see families thrown onto the streets because landlords chase higher profits. They say ‘market prices’—I say theft!"

🔹 Housing should be for people, not for speculation.
🔹 No one should lose their home because of greed.

4. Education and Healthcare for All

"Knowledge should be a weapon for freedom, not a privilege for the rich. If you must sell your future just to learn, are you truly free? If your health depends on your wealth, is that not slavery by another name?"

🔹 Free and accessible education, not a debt sentence.
🔹 Healthcare as a right, not a business.

5. We Stand Together, or We Fall Alone

"They tried to divide us, peasants against peasants, workers against workers, while they sat on their thrones. I see the same tricks now. Borders, race, religion... anything to keep us from seeing the real enemy: those who profit from our suffering."

🔹 Solidarity across nations, across struggles, across generations.
🔹 An injury to one is an injury to all.

6. The Fight Never Ends - Until We Win

"They burned me alive to silence me. But I am still here. In every worker who refuses to be exploited. In every student who fights for knowledge. In every voice that speaks against injustice. You do not need a sword to fight, only the courage to say: Enough."

✊ The people will rise again. Will you stand with them?

Should figures like Columbus be celebrated when their legacy includes colonization, slavery, and genocide?

If a monument glorifies oppression, does it deserve to stand? Or is erasing it also erasing history?

Who are the heroes we’ve never carved in stone, and why were they left out?

Would you like these even sharper, or does this hit the mark?

WHAT IS AN ELITE TODAY?

🏛️ FROM KINGS TO CEO s—HAS POWER REALLY CHANGED? 🏛️

Once, elites were crowned: kings, feudal lords, and conquerors. Today, they wear suits, control markets, and shape narratives. But has anything really changed?

🔥 WHO HOLDS POWER NOW?
🔹 Are today’s elites the wealthiest 1%, politicians, tech giants, or media moguls?
🔹 Does an elite need money, or is influence (social media, ideology) the new currency?
🔹 If history glorifies past elites, who is writing today’s history?
