Just finished Communism, the highest stage of Ecology, its left me wanting to pursue more books about ecology and agriculture more broadly, especially since i was just volunteering at a agriculture show during the weekend. Next up on my list though is Phenomenology of the Capitalist Eternisation by João Romeiro Hermeto. I'm mostly trying to tackle a backlog of Iskra Published titles at the moment but this one seems really interesting. One of the first "lefty" books I read was Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher, this feels similar in topic so far but with a far more revolutionary edge than Mark Fishers book. (I'm only 20 or so pages in though so take what im saying very loosly, could be miles off)

I just learned about the Decalogue from Fraud, Famine, and Fascism, which is the 10 commandments of Ukrainian Nationalists.

1. You will attain a Ukrainian state or perish fighting for it.
2. You will not allow anyone to tarnish your people’s reputation or honour.
3. Remember the great days of our struggle for liberation.
4. Be proud that you are heir to the fight for the glory of Volodymyr's Trident.
5. Avenge the death of the Great Knights.
6. Do not discuss this with whomever you can, but only with whom you must.
7. You will not hesitate to commit even the greatest crime, if the good of the cause demands it.
8. With hatred and deceit you will receive the enemies of your nation.
9. Neither pleading nor threats, torture or death will force you to reveal secrets.
10. You will strive to expand the strength, fame, wealth and area of the Ukrainian state, even through the enslavement of others.---

Starting Nkrumah's Neocolonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism for this reading. Nkrumah is exceptionally gifted with clear and concise wording, and I really do value this work.

I'm about to start To Rob a Bank is an Honor, and I've got Unequal Exchange: Past, Present, and Future and The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism in the mail.

Almost done reading Stalin's work on dialectical and historical materialism. Really well-written, I love how he quotes Marx/Engels for relavant passages and gives examples. Surprisingly he's way more chill than i expected in writing; nothing like Marx/Engels/Lenin lol.

I am reading a book called The Reformatory about a boarding school / prison for mostly black people in the 40s/50s. Not sure what it is precisely about yet. Parts of the book cover racism in Southern US but parts of it also includes folklore and ghosts so I'm guessing it's a bit of both with the main focus being racism and segregation.
