really loved his compassion and rage when he talked about the situation in his 'Palestine on Fire' episode. it is worth every penny of mine being a patreon.

I'm not scientifically justifying my suicide. I'm not going to die. I just tried to analyze suicide and why its a contradiction. Why the capitalist superstructure forces us to think in individual terms, instead of a collective family. And as a result of that, we cannot see any other solution. Not that a solution doesn't exist. The solution is to think in material terms. Think of the actual reality that forces us to think idealistically. But at that specific moment, the suicidal person is forced to think of suicide as the only solution, not by any fault of theirs.

I'm not going to kill myself. I can't. I am physically going to keep fighting until the end. Whatever end may come. By saying "long live the revolution", I meant the actual, socialist revolution, and not my own self proclaimed revolution of suicide. I've been dealing with mental illness and depression for more than 3 years, and Marxism has made me understand that in terms of collective struggle. This was just a vent, of me saying, for a while, I'll go back to thinking individualistically, because the primary contradiction now lies in me fighting my suicidal ideations by giving some time for myself.

Again, to clarify, I am not going to do anything. I apologize that it comes across as that. This is not even related to me. I write to fight my depression because it helps keep things at bay. I've stopped writing as a means to let out my emotions, but instead to write how I understand the emotions and why the larger economic structure plays a role in it.

The Soviets fighting the Nazis is not black and white, it must be taken in its historical context. Although the Nazis fight with a racist, deep hatred for Jews, on the other hand, the Soviets are communists.

liberal "centrists" most of the year- FREE PALESTINE.

liberal "centrists" when Palestine fights back tremendously for liberation and right for independence- I strongly support the right of Israel to exist. This is nothing more than a terrorist attack.

If you truly say you are for the proletariat you have to ground yourself to materialist analysis. If you think your theory has more potential that speaks for the people better, then its better that you cooperate with the party that understood the dialectics and led the revolution instead of useless chantings that the one party isn't the way. There's a reason their revolution was successful. Do material analysis first and realize why, than focusing on ideological thinking that "there are always differences". if there are differences then there are ways to solve those differences within the party.

we all should make an Onion explicitly from a Marxist perspective

hey! everybody has to start somewhere, and there is no definite introductory book that will suit every person, but to be broad, you can divide Marxism into its philosophy, and its economics. To start with Marxist philosophy of historical materialism and dialectical materialism, few introductory topics might be

• Socialism: Utopian and Scientific- Engels
• The German Ideology- Marx
• Critique of Gotha- Marx
• Dialectical and Historical Materialism- Stalin

for introduction to Marxist economics, the first volume of Kapital will usually cover everything, but to start things off, you can read the shorter (20-30 pagesish) works by Marx, Wage/Labour/Capital, and Value/Prices/Profit. Both of these lay the foundations of Kapital and the mode of production as found in capitalism

David Harvey has an introductory course which consists of solely understanding kapital, which can be found here- https://davidharvey.org/

Foundations of Leninism- Stalin; What is To Be Done (Lenin); State and Revolution (Lenin) for basic socialist theory in Marxism-Leninism

history has to be understood in its context, and to understand the history of communism, you'll have to understand communist revolutions throughout the world, now that depends on whether you want to study the July-26 movement in Cuba, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Chinese revolution, etc. I'd say focus on the particular history of each country after the basics of philosophy is understood!! Have fun and good luck :)

Edit- didn't see the 30 year thing, may I know your reasoning behind it?

why?

As anti-imperialists, the focus is on organizing vanguard parties who will take advantage of the internal contradictions within imperialism that lead to imperialist wars. the people's war will ultimately be the deciding conflict, and as you said, with the imperialist powers being weakened, too busy fighting with each other, the people's war will ultimately prevail.

what about revolutionary communists?

you're not alone, I chuckled for more than 5 minutes when I first saw this lmao

iskra and foreignlanguagepress are my go-to trusted publishers, they both also have free pdfs of all the books they publish. iskra has other radical bookstores in their about page that you can check out

they know only one book and it rhymes with krine lamph

is it really a coincidence after the number one allegorical tv show about capitalism was a few years ago titled "Squid Game"??? confirmed that the show was a psyop by South Korean Chinese Russian commies who are destroying the perfect system

Ok libtard, lets see you make your own Kapital and manifesto, and independent theory from your own ideas that DO NOT in anyway share ANY similarities with any of the above people/countries. name the school of "socialist" thought by your own name-ism, and lets see you form your party that only follows this school. we'll be waiting.

I go through revolutionary pessimism too, from time to time. China and Cuba who have maintained their status as heading towards socialism for this long despite sanctions and pressures from US show that it is not impossible. The leftist movement is getting class consciousness and growing. It is not just about the so called actually existing socialist states, or about the few African military juntas leading the country towards the path of Thomas Sankara, its about the contradictions within imperialism that make it more and more unstable for it to maintain itself. Imperialist contradictions will, sooner or later, be taken advantage of by the proletariat to guide the revolution. now the question of whether it can be transitioned to communism cannot be answered because of imperial oppression that has fought back against every attempt. I won't let that affect my spirit. Lenin was depressed in February-ish of 1917, thinking of whether he can actually bring about a change. In October, the second revolution of the year happened. He famously said, "there are decades where nothing happens, there are weeks where decades happen". its not a matter of if it will happen, its a matter of when.
