    1. fascinated by this 1919 soviet banknote that displays "workers of the world unite" in 7 languages including correct Arabic! they translate it as يا صعاليك جميع العالم اتحدوا which is closer to "vagabonds of the world unite" unless there is an older meaning of صعاليك i dont know?
      oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

    ive seen it translated as بروليتاريون or عمال in other places, but this is the first ive seen صعاليك used
