I’m too scared to be hopeful.

No. I will never forgive or forget all the liberals who could have acted BEFORE the deaths of 10k children and displacement of 2m Palestinians. Now is too late. Stop the genocide, but the blood already spilled is already on your hands.

I am in physical pain.

Plot twist- it’s his moms basement and he’s alone.

Maybe the CEOs and shareholders should return their yatchs and private planes and Malibu mansions before just fucking firing people out of the blue. What the shit world.

What the fuck is going on in the world.

Didn’t millions march against the Iraq War? We losing steam.

Fucking lmao. TechBro-Nerd shit to the max. Get rekt.

Ah, damn.

what the fuck is going on in this thread

they are attacking ships to and from israel, claiming they will stop when there’s a ceasefire in gaza. the west is like nooooooo.

Lmao that gave me a laugh. Yeah, it’s a problem I run into often. Libgen is a great resource, but there are far, far too many books that have never been put online in the first place.

I forgot to add: that goal is very admirable. I wish you all the best! A guided bibliography is better than reading twitter threads.

Thanks for those links! I’ll give those a read. I’m currently going through Nothing Human is Alien to Me which is a conversation/interview Vijay Prasad had with Aijaz Ahmad, an Indian Marxist who passed away a couple years ago. I don’t know if it exists online, but here’s the Amazon link.

I wanna thank you for your comment because now I’m able to formulate a better TLDR: He didn’t do any union-busting and your bullying can harm your supposed political aims in the real world.

No yeah I agree with that. I’ve been reading a book again after a long time and the difference between what you can learn (and more importantly, communicate) in a proper book vs Twitter is astounding. I knew that already, in a way, but getting into reading again has just reinforced it.

And a real book, for me, is absolutely essential. Too often with pdfs and ePubs I read a page or two then go watch YouTube or do something else.

It boggles the mind. The few sane voices are like islands on a sea of reaction ready to genocide Yemen for daring to stop the genocide of Palestine.

I’m surprised, but pleasantly, to see Nathan as one of those islands.

From the post I linked in the text:

I say in Why You Should Be A Socialist that [Marx] had “a better understanding than almost anyone else of the way that economics determines the fabric of the social world,” and praise texts of his as “brilliant” and “profound,” full of “great insight.” I am not sure how that can be squared with thinking I have scant regard for him.

I’m not saying he’s Vijay Prasad. There’s only so much I can expect from any western leftist, Hexbear included. But he’s created a successful leftist magazine that some people tried to tear down and were thankfully unsuccessful. Learning about what went on has made me do some soul-searching and conclude a world with Current Affairs, and NJR writing what he writes, is better than one without, no matter our disagreements.

Also, we’re using DemSoc as a pejorative now too, huh? I remember when we used to split hairs, saying SucDem were acceptable to dunk on because they actually just wanted Nordic-style welfare states, but DemSocs were genuine socialists. I guess the circle of acceptable leftists must get ever smaller. The site can’t remain left unity forever. When will the anarchists (the few that remain) be culled?

Still making my way through it since you posted it. Got other stuff to do today too. But damn.

I’m sorry Bri’ish boy.
