Glory to the martyrs. Rest in peace, Nasrallah.

Mega mega mega THREAD

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, the absolute steaming pile of shit that is the NYT rag.

Some are amazing zingers, the Soviet America vignette is amazing and occupies my thoughts

Death to the entity.

As someone who spent a dozen or so attempts beating New Vegas Permadeath on Very Hard/Hardcore, it’s a dramatically different level of immersion and fun. It entirely changes how you interact with the game and the world. You’re forced to pay attention.

Wait until the sword arrives tho

Same, I have bits of liberalism I am working on purging every day, but looking back a year ago and I’ve come a long way, I think.

Depends on the focus.

Perhaps start with Blackshirts and Reds to start with a fresh slate of anticommunist myth debunking before getting into theory.

If you’re asking what specific works to start with, though, Principles of Communism followed by Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy gives you an alignment in terms and basics, then a thorough overview of Dialectical and Historical Materialism, which is by far the most useful Marxist concept in general and will help the rest of theory learning go smoother.

Haha, you’re good. They eventually just gish-galloped, did the whole bit, then disengaged. There’s another person gish galloping and trying to veer entirely off course in a million different directions, plus an absurd claim that Engels wasn’t a Capitalist, but we will see. I don’t think it’s worth replying even if they go another round.

Haha, I think we may both benefit from less lib exposure. It’s pretty awful with the US Election coming up.
