    i finished the angela davis i was reading, so onto MLK for black history month. Good stuff and the libs like him so it's an easy in for ~~ our methods ~~ I think i actually found this book "Where do we go from here" from one of the dope megathreads lol.

    First chapter he starts talking about police being violent to nonviolent protesters and how whites say they want integration but won't actually lift a finger or change their behavior at all to help the negroes. Oh, how litttle has changed.

    currently reading:

    Coup D'etat, A Practical Handbook and State and Revolution.

    Coup D'etat is a really good read, and I'd recommend it if you have any interest in that field.

    Just finished up The Trouble With Being Born by Emil Cioran. Depressing beyond words, really. Ultimate doomer hours, but very poeticly written.
