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.

        You ever read into the guy who wrote Invictus?

        Motherfucker (William Ernest Henley) had the gall to suffer his entire adult life from disability brought on by tuberculosis, yet talked about the need for the superiorly bred Englishman to civilize the savage world.

        Invictus reads quite differently in hindsight. Wish he had, in fact, lost the will to live.

          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.

          It’s such a online circlejerk tbh.

          I can appreciate a Full English and a lot of the baked foods are quite good.

          Also Fish and Chips is a working class icon and anyone that says otherwise needs mandatory re-education.
