Where is the Red Line Now?

Neoliberalism's Fallout: The Case of Eastern Europe
Category: News and Politics
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
Voting Blue Is Not "Harm Reduction"
Category: News and Politics
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
"Freedom and Democracy" In the Capital of World Terrorism
Category: News and Politics
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

How Queer People Became Marketable: Pride Month, Establishment Co-Opting, and Rainbow Capitalism
Category: Life
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

"Stalinism:" Linguistic Bias and the Fetishization of Lenin
Category: News and Politics
"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
Summer Book Stack 2024 :3

Zionism's Plague on the Western Psyche
Category: News and Politics
When the genocide in Gaza started, I did what I could to calmly explain the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict before October 7th to people who were willing to listen, to differentiate Zionism and Judaism, and to work with people who were possibly just misguided about what Israel actually is. And for many, I don't blame them for their passive support if they weren't educated in the history; ... » Continue Reading

Educate yaselves!

I don't necessarily feel like writing a thing right now but thought now might be a good time to post some resources that I like pertaining to studying Marx and the global worker's movement :3 YouTube / Podcasts Starting off with one of the easiest ways to introduce yourself to socialism without diving head-first into 100-150 year old books, there are some creators online that provide a well-rounde... » Continue Reading

"The commune already has a poet" - One of the worst anti-communist "arguments"
Category: News and Politics
So frequently in leftist spaces you'll hear some liberal interject and tell you "the commune already has a poet" when you speak of a possible communist future. While it's presented as a "gotcha," it only shows that you truly don't understand communist labor. The largest difference between capitalist and communist labor relations is the class that reaps the benefits from it. Under capitalist enterp... » Continue Reading

The Marxist-Leninist Position on Authority
Category: News and Politics
So often you'll hear the liberal, anarchist or "democratic socialist" complain about the "authoritarianism" of communism, but the first question that needs to be asked is: who are the people being affected by this "authoritarianism" and who is this benevolent power enforcing its will on others? Why it's the large landholder and business owner (the Bourgeoise) at the end of the rifle in this "tyran... » Continue Reading
