      Typical Hexbear answer but I'm just reading Lenin. I first encountered Lenin when I was an idealistic anarcho-kiddo and didn't appreciate his wisdom like I can now. Half way through Imperialism now, then State and Revolution is up next.

      And I started Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy. Watched Blue and White so far, tonight will finish up with Red. Absolutely beautiful films! White had a nice, maybe unintentional, critique of Poland's experience of post-USSR shock therapy when you contrast it to Kieslowski's Communist-era Decalogue.
