Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory, try marxists.org, Anna's Archive, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
I could have sworn that several weeks ago I found a book on libgen or Google Books explicitly describing itself with something like ‘While not denying Soviet brutality, the author concludes that that the Red Army did a good job protecting Jews’ (maybe specifically in Moldovia or Bessarabia or something—I can’t remember). I think that the cover featured a monochrome photo over a red background.
Man, was I bonehead, because I glossed over that book when I spotted it and now I can’t find it anywhere! My thought process must have been, ‘Well, I’m sure that anticommunists will deny/trivialize/ignore the positive findings anyway, so there’s no point in reading.’ So I didn’t make note of it. ~~Feck, now I’ll probably never find it again.~~
ETA: here it is!
how did you find it?
I think that originally I found it while I was doing research on Romanian fascism. When I tried to recover it I looked on Research Gate and spotted this article, which looked similar, then I looked through the citations section and that’s how I recovered the book.
the fk is this?
I simply don’t get why Xi would entertain talking with Kissinger. He is the most evil man alive and yet they had a red carpet welcome to such human (compared to other US officials)
the era of fascism is already upon us. this is in response to amazon shutting down a customers smart home. this is really funny.
How do you explain to people that consumerism =/= materialism?
"Words can have multiple definitions, and 'materialism' had a definition long before capitalism existed"
what do you think of this website? https://www.peoplesworld.org/
based on the articles on the front page, it's clearly pro-electoralism; even worse, it seems to advocate for working within the Democratic Party
i found this from the list of left websites in that tankies research paper. 🤣
they also included Foreign Policy, so they likely have no clue what they're talking about
The Grad ate my comment. I made a nice, almost long comment, with links and all, but after I clicked "post", it just disappeared. And didn't show up after refreshing the page. Anyone have the same issue?
it happens consistently when I do something like upvote a comment while writing, but I don't think it's disappeared after posting 🪦
a workaround is to save long comments to the clipboard, or just copy it from another text editor
