Bob Marley, the legendary Jamaican musician and cultural icon, has been honored with several statues around the world as a tribute to his enduring legacy and influence. Here are a few notable statues of Bob Marley:

Bob Marley Statue, Kingston, Jamaica: Located in Emancipation Park in Kingston, Jamaica, this statue of Bob Marley was unveiled on December 5, 2008, to commemorate what would have been his 63rd birthday. The statue depicts Marley standing barefoot with his guitar, capturing his iconic stage presence and musical spirit.

Bob Marley Statue, Nine Mile, Jamaica: Nine Mile is Bob Marley's birthplace and the site of the Bob Marley Mausoleum, where he is buried. A statue of Marley stands near the entrance of the mausoleum, surrounded by lush Jamaican countryside, providing a serene and reflective space for visitors to pay their respects.

Bob Marley Statue, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: In 2005, a statue of Bob Marley was erected in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, at the entrance of the Bob Marley Square. This statue commemorates Marley's connection to Ethiopia, particularly his role in popularizing Rastafari culture and his admiration for Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie.

Bob Marley Statue, Banatski Sokolac, Serbia: Unveiled in 2011, this unexpected statue of Bob Marley stands in the small village of Banatski Sokolac in northeastern Serbia. The statue was erected by a local reggae fan club as a symbol of peace, unity, and the universal appeal of Bob Marley's music.

“When you see people call themselves revolutionary always talking about destroying, destroying, destroying but never talking about building or creating, they’re not revolutionary.”
-Kwame Ture

Revolution is love. Love for each other. Love for nature. Love for the planet.

Karl Marx observed that under capitalism, “labour produces for the rich wonderful things - but for the worker it produces privation. It produces palaces - but for the worker, hovels”. I thought of this a lot during my years working in construction.

What does this have to do with the Queen? Well it’s human labour - the labour of construction workers, of miners (look at that gold and those jewels!), of cooks and cleaners, of gardeners and so many others - that created, and continues to create, all the wasteful pomp and splendour of the Monarchy, and with it the illusion that it’s an institution that somehow naturally stands above us and deserves our respect (or, currently, our outpourings of grief).

And the flipside of that world, the one that we build and maintain, but which is inhabited and enjoyed by the Monarchs, the business elites, and the politicians who loyally serve their interests, is the world of privation still suffered by all too many workers. Of the daily struggle just to earn enough for the very basics: a secure place (even just a hovel!) to shelter from the elements, some food on the table, an education, healthcare when we’re sick.

The ruling class are mourning one of their own. Not me. Our task is to organise and strengthen our ranks for the struggles ahead. For a world without kings and queens and without the dog-eat-dog system of capitalism too. One where it’s the construction workers, the cooks and cleaners and everyone else who keeps our society working, that get to decide what our priorities should be.

A world where if we want to build palaces, they’ll be palaces for us.
