Modern shitposters have nothing on Engels. “Decayed Prussian cabbage junkers.”

I read 500 pages of Black Reconstruction just for Engels to say it in one sentence.

Engels will drag you through 150 pages of absolutely gobbledygook to finally deliver absolute gold in the form of a brutal take on the decline of the Roman Empire that could be written word for word about the US today

I like to think that when Propagandhi said “ska sucks, all the bands are just in it for the bucks”, they were giving Skankin’ Pickle a pass.

I’m reading Animal Farm to my kid because I want him to be familiar with it as an important piece of culture, but I am aware that Orwell was a dummy anti-communist. Any suggestions for more pro-socialist fiction that a young boy would enjoy for the next one?

When I read What Is To Be Done, I read it as if all of Lenin’s talk of pamphlets and newspapers were outdated but could be converted to modern media for guidance. Now I’m thinking maybe we’ll end up needing to use pamphlets after all.

I have a few books I’ve found over the years that are printed in the USSR. I bought this recently from Bookmarks in London, but didn’t see this until now

It’s very funny to me that the next dozen guys they catch doing absolutely crazy lone wolf shit are going to have manifestos that begin “first of all I just want to thank our brave men and women in law enforcement for everything you do”

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had actually listened to the lyrics of Refused when I was 15 and decided to read Marx when I was a teenager instead of a 30something

This feels a little bit like Oct 7, I worry. It feels like the oppressed have finally struck a blow, and it’s exciting, but the blowback from the ruling class will be substantial.

Nationalized healthcare can be made very popular. Now is the time. Make the case that private healthcare requires private insurance. People hate insurance, as they should.

What’s funny is that if they find the guy, he’s already going to have so many people defending him AND we’ll find out what made him do it. (Hint: it probably won’t make UHC look good)

Noooooooo you can't say it's good that an evil person got killed in a way that makes countless other evil people worldwide real fuckin nervous all at once in a way that u can physically feel in the zeitgeist around you, that tickles the soul and delights the senses, what are you, some kind of ghoul

It really doesn’t feel like Trump is going to act as president for very long at all. My intuition just tells me that more craziness is going to happen. The guy is like 80.

I’ve been wondering if the feud with the FBI is real or if Trump still plans to use them for his own purposes. Thing is, as reprehensible as the FBI has been over the decades, most of them are true-believers that think they’re doing good. He’s going to use ICE. Those people are fucking monsters.

The fun thing about using a whole bunch of starter packs is that I get the pleasure of unfollowing all the same people that I unfollowed on twitter.

It's jarring to have genocidal fascists in power after years of genocidal liberals in power because they talk different.
Trump says “there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East” if the remaining hostages held by Hamas are not released before his inauguration.

Why why why is James Carville still allowed anywhere near a TV camera I will never understand. How is this happening?
"I'm 80. To me the whole world is the Times, the Post, the nets, cable TV."
"We don’t know how people get their information...[we need] an exhaustive, detailed, well-fielded, well-constructed survey on media consumption."

Here's James Carville laying out his idea for a deep dive by Dems into how people get their news these days:

I’ve just started reading The Origin of the Family, and while Engels is always a fascinating read, it’s notable how wrong most of his early bedrock assertions ended up being in contrast to how accurate a lot of his mathematical assertions in Anti-Deuring were.
