Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

They not have to be marxist specifically, but all of mine are. My favorites are: Walter Rodney, Lenin, Anuradha Ghandy and Vijay Prishad. I have been thinking of Red Star Over the Third World again recently, and I may decide to reread it soon.

Lenin is funny and I like him

William Blum is as jaded as me so he good

The Author of Eagle Among Lions

I like Rick Riordan, author of the percy jackson series too. Childish I know, but he's the one author who didn't turn out to be a transphobic or homophobic bastard. They were my comfort reads for a long while.

Lenin is very entertaining. Like in The Right of Nations to Self Determination when he basically calls Trotsky a worm.

I searched William Blum's name to check if he is the author of Killing Hope, and made a very crinkly discovery: William Blum, US Policy Critic Cited by Bin Laden, Dies at 87 | New York Times The New York Times never fails to cause me immense anguish.

Might have to look into some Blum. What would you recommend starting with?

Killing Hope, it is my bible
