Heyy! I'm April. I mostly made this account to have a (marginally) more productive space to rant about communism and whatnot (instead of personal notes), and as a failsafe in case tiktok gets banned in the US (which is probably unlikely, but whatever). I consider myself a Marxist-Leninist and am in the process of trying to educate myself ideologically as much as humanly possible until I move out o... » Continue Reading

ChatGPT was down for a while today, which coincided with many people's finals week. The response? Mass panic about "not being able to study or write their papers." The amount of people who are unable to write their own papers or study in college is concerning from more than just a statistical standpoint, but also in the light of the rise of anti-intellectualism in common discourse. Every generatio... » Continue Reading

First off, the assassin was lucky that he chose who he chose. While "terrorist" is a subjective word, and he should not be labeled as such, "individual acts of terror" rarely unite people the way that the assassination did, and the fact that it united left and right is an anomaly, not a formula. What the response to his assassination tells us, through the positive reactions to the emergence of the... » Continue Reading

By request of Vostok, here's an essay I just wrote recently on the topic of women's emancipation movements in the period of 20th century revolutions! I only had 2 weeks to get this paper done, so given that limitation, I'm pretty happy with the results! This time period is fascinating to me, and I would have loved to study other cases, such as that of the GDR or the USSR in-depth, but I definitel... » Continue Reading

Due to request by user fahim102 on youtube, I'll be posting a cursory essay I wrote for a freshman composition project :3 Due to time restrictions, the essay is not what I fully wanted it to be, and there is much I would change wording-wise, but I plan to expand on it later in my academic career, either as a thesis or dissertation; depends on how far I want to go. But the main topic I want to expl... » Continue Reading

Over the last few months, the common sentiment among American liberals has been that "Biden isn't great, but he's harm reduction to combat Trump" or "Biden is the only candidate that will prevent fascism in America," and that we should just "Vote Blue No Matter Who," just vote harder they say. But pragmatism doesn't exist when both candidates are absolutely unacceptable! No matter who becomes pres... » Continue Reading

As the day of American independence from the British Empire approaches, it should be pointed out that the United States is not the "beacon of freedom and democracy" as it claims to be throughout its history. The Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 was a historic first, and the first crack to form in the British Empire and the old form of Empire, but the "American Revolution" was not a radi... » Continue Reading

First off, Happy Pride Month, other queers :3 This post isn't a denouncement or disownment of pride month, but rather an attempt at revitalization for a movement sorely let down in the modern sense. Pride Month came out of the eruption of the Stonewall Riots in 1969, a sudden burst of queer militancy and resistance after reaching a tipping point of repression in our respective communities for deca... » Continue Reading

"Once Stalin's ideas were attacked, vilified and destroyed, it became clear that Lenin's ideas had suffered the same fate." - Ludo Martens, 1994 All too often in "leftist" online spaces, you'll hear denouncements of "Stalinism" when confronted with a question regarding the » Continue Reading

As summer approaches and as I have more and more time in isolation than normal this break, I've decided I am going to bring more books than normal on my travels :3 I would bring more, but I know I'll be getting more for my birthday, and I need to be mindful of my » Continue Reading
