Thank you for the tips I will keep them in mind.

I am re-reading theory because I am going to be a writer on the new party programme we will use for the upcoming elections. To be able to do this, I want to have a fresher understanding of Marxism again and I figured I will read (some) of the reading list that is posted here. In the past I never made notes of marxist literature and I will probably do it now. I finished reading Lenin’s The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism just now and, despite it being a pretty easy work, I’m pleased with what I wrote down. I wanted to start with Marx’ and Engels’: Critique Of The German Ideology, Chapter I but as soon as I saw Hegel and Feuerbach mentioned, my brain made the windows shutdown noise and I figured it was time for bed lol.

Sometimes I forget to count my blessings and I get caught up in focussing on this marxism stuff too much, and it can wear me down. I find participating in a society that I just can’t get behind extremely frustrating and if I then also forget to touch grass, things start to look greyish in my mind.

It is a nice week. I am healthy. My party is having a festival this weekend. It’s going to be great weather all week. I am in a good spot. I should just keep that in mind as well.

I haven’t read a Marx text in a while and I kinda forgot how frustatingly difficult he can write. At least Lenin figured you can at some form of humor to your text without them becoming goofy.

Plus I always struggled more with the philosophical parts of Marxism versus economics, science and things about the state etc. No idea why I started with the philosophy stuff first now.

Wake up

Capitalism still exists

What a shit start of the week

The last point is just chauvinistic crap. Ask those people to get a few random objects in their house to see where it is made. ‘Them over there’ don’t do it because they need to make our products for dirt cheap wages in horrific conditions.

Also, individual reduction of consumerism is going to do jack shit when the top 100 companies produce 70% of all global emissions. And I say this as a person who DOES reduce as much as possible.

Thanks, that’s the study mentioned in the news ✊🏻

For comparison: making public transport free in The Netherlands will cost 4 billion annually, but that was deemed ‘impossibly expensive’. Plus we also need budget cuts on health and education every year.

Do you have to specify you’re a communist when you take a job in the US? Why not just say no anyway?

Someone should tell Joe that he’s the president

I’ve been active online and in an actual communist party for years now. I am yet to be approached by a Chinese or Russian official to be a paid shill. You’d almost think it is projection.

I might try that. Sounds peaceful

Unfortunately battling several problematic period with stims make that impossible for me 🤷

I can do coffee though

Go touch grass

But in the end, we trolled those Russkies very hard. Now, take your iodine pill and put on your hazmat suit, we’re going scavenging

Yes

He was born near the Caucasus mountains so he is very much caucasian 😎

I live in the second largest port city in Europe at about 40km from the EU and NATO HQs. If shit hits the fan, I probably will be dead before I noticed.

There is also a potential Stalin in every one of them 😎

I don’t know who that is, but as a radical leftist I always support Biden and the Dems 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
