I visited the commie bookstore in town today and I picked up a copy of Manufacturing Consent because it seemed appropriate for the current times. I also got a copy of Motorcycle Diaries.
On the way home I also passed a Falun Gong stand. They were doing some dance.
What are you reading?
It's an account of USSR by an American journalist back in 1930s. It's just really full of optimism, and she does a great job showing how Soviet democracy worked.
Dang, now I want to read that! Although it will probably break my heart
I originally found out about it on here incidentally https://lemmygrad.ml/post/2909935
And yeah, it's equal parts incredibly inspiring and depressing to read because you get to see what was lost.
