Hello everynyan, we're finally going to start reading This Soviet World.
Week 1 we are reading "On Interpreting a World" and Chapter 1: "The plan for Remaking the World."
EPUB, and link to a PDF, of the book can be found on Comrade's Library. If you find problems with the EPUB tell me and I will fix it. Dessalines has made an audio book.

And it ties in well to the ideas of language and pronouns the intro talks about as well, how a person under capitalism wants to escape their plight, while in the USSR it was more about solving our (society's) plight.
Yeah, it's such a good deconstruction of individualism, and how it frames and changes the way we all think about ourselves and the people around us.
