Finally finished Blackshirts & Reds, phenomenal book and will be my no.1 recommendation to people that are leaning to Marxism but aren't there yet. Moving back to Lenin's Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism, going to be taking my time with each chapter to really memorize and understand what he is trying to say.
Irish people continue to be on a based streak.
I've never seen people on lemmy hate on lumpenproletariat and it's probably the community with the most empathy I've ever seen. From what I've read people have been nothing but nice to you in this post so I honestly don't understand the name calling and lashing out that you are doing.
This is also why I'm struggling to keep reading the book tbh, how can you have such a powerful analysis of the USSR using only imperialist anti-communist sources?
I have a friend that seems to be falling down this self help, business, start up world bullshit thinking that her company will be different than others. "I will create 1000s of jobs" she says, jesus... No amount of talking could get her away from the thinking "I want to have so much money no one tells me what to do". Kind of just gave up and switched the conversation at that point.
Then on the other side I met someone who lives at home, doesn't have a job and refuses to have one, yet has so many comments on how things should be run. Is there a definition for this type of person?
Polymarket is such a cesspool.
I am yes, I've noticed that people from lower classes were much more likely to listen to what I have to say than people who went to universities or hold multiple degrees/phds.
Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism by Ya Boi Lenin
It's good, but I have difficulty understanding why Lenin is talking about numbers for German/French banks. Granted I'm only 30 pages in and will continue, just a bit confused so far.
Literally picked up Blackshirts and Reds last week. RIP
Finishing up Elementary Principles of Philosophy and then moving to Blackshirts and Reds
Still reading Elementary principles of philosophy Georges Politzer
I just took CBD oil drops for the first time last night after not being able to sleep for 2 nights in a row. Slept like a log, also my anxiety is down a bit.
