YOU are speaking!
Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?
Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.
Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.
maybe for 6. you could add foundations of leninism i thought it was pretty good as an summary of lenin, maybe add one that focuses on colonialism like Wretched of the Earth
Leaning heavily towards Fanon, need to read it myself first but additionally I am trying to find a good, easy link for it that isn't just anna's archive. Epubs and online versions are much nicer for quick agitprop IMO.
Foundations of Leninism is good, but I do think the rest of the works thus far touch the same bases. Plus, since this is directed at libs, I fear linking Stalin may scare too many away, when the primary purpose is churning out MLs who will read Stalin at some point anyways, still going back and forth on that one in my head. Trying to capture the radical sentiment of disillusioned American libs in the aftermath of having their worldview rocked, not existing comrades. (Don't want to create ultras, but if you ask me reading the works listed should logically prevent ultrafication due to the inclusion of Blackshirts)
If you get Fanon, that would be fantastic. Feinberg and maybe Bell Hooks are also on my radar for reading, though other comrades can make more specific recommendations as I am working through intersectional theory right now (and these books are long).
Go to sleep!
I have slept. Now I shall mirror marx2mao.
One day I'll get to Fanon and Feinberg and others like that. One day... With the speed I am going at now, that means in a few years.
Hell yea, comrade! I like the marx2mao versions more than marxists.org, but they are harder to read and no epubs, so that's fantastic. Don't sweat taking the time you need to get it done!
Oh... I meant just downloading the website and uploading it to https://mirror.comlib.encryptionin.space/marx2mao/ (still downloading)
Oh, gotcha! My computer literacy isn't that high...
God, it's been 1h 35 minutes and I have downloaded just 154 MiB.
Oh wow, that's awful. How large is the total?
Not sure. I have to download each page to know how big it is.
Ah, gotcha. Godspeed!
It's done! https://mirror.comlib.encryptionin.space/marx2mao/
Hell yea!
I'm finding that there are (some weird folders, which comes from there being) a few links in M2M that don't work, I'll edit my mirror to correct them.
Huh, that's interesting. Good work!
I use it for my EPUBs, and I'll make more of course.
Nice, great work! Take all the time you need!
cowbee i remembered that our comrades at ChunkaLutaNetwork had an online archive-library maybe there are some good book pdfs about decolonial stuff
Oh shit, forgot about that! Gotta dig into that, I don't feel right not including decolonial theory in an American-targeted list. I'll give it a dig, thanks!
