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.
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)
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!
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!
