literature

Finally got around to reading Grapes of Wrath a few weeks ago, definitely recommend it. It's flat out leftist propaganda. there's like 3 N-words in there for no reason, but other than that it's pretty tame. Anyone that read The Parable of the Sower, would probably dig it.

Currently slogging my way through John N. Hazards The Soviet System of Government it's interesting, when you can gleam information from it. But jfc the bias and bullshit. Flat out Parenti quote type stuff. There's a thing I'm learning academics (and "objective" authors) do where they'll give seemingly positive examples and then claim that these things are positive only for outward show and then they'll claim that anecdotal evidence from randoms and refugees and whatnot actually prove these policies and things are evil... But they won't include any of those anecdotes. It's very weird and I can't imagine all but the most sort of folks would accept that sort of bullshit, but people do I guess. It's very slow going because of how often I'm rolling my eyes.

Negroes with Guns by certified hardcase Robert Williams. I recently finished This Nonviolent Stuff and while it was a great book, there were points where I found myself thinking "Charles Cobb has done a lot of good, but man is he a bit of a lib about some things. I'd like to learn more about this guy who's protection team set up sandbag positions around an NAACP organizer's house and shot up a Klan convoy that had come to dynamite it. I'd like to subscribe to that guy's newsletter."

The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cuba's, a Brazilian masterpiece apparently

my local library and the next city over have no thoery or any leftist lit :(
