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.

I really love how in this first chapter she frames the idea of owning the means of production as owning the means of life itself. The idea that the richest people in our society own the means of our livelihood, that they get to direct and control our life with the power and wealth they hold, and what we seek to do is wrestle the control of our own collective lives away from them, is increadably powerful.
