Welcome Comrades to this, our weekly tradition! All I ask is that no one touch the Giant Spoon, we just got that back and I do not want to explain how it got lost again.

We have a Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space. Did you know we have a Theory Reading Group, in the matrix space? well we do, and we would like you to be a part!

Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory, try marxists.org, Anna’s Archive, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.

    Not sure I even heard of the book before, but frankly not surprised. Reminds me of this:

    “A true Aryan must be: blonde like Hitler, lean like Goering, handsome like Goebbels”

      It is a poem, one Nelson Mandela was quite fond of. It is, genuinely, quite a banger – I once wanted an “INVICTVS” tattoo because of how much the poem resonated with me… until I researched the bastard who wrote it lol.

      Fuck it, Mao wrote Invictus. Stalin wrote Invictus. I wrote Invictus. We should bury the fool’s name and keep the poem, author anonymous.
