considering restarting Capital so I can start writing down notes for it but stressed because it'd set me back several days of reading in combined hours

maybe I should order a physical copy so I can focus better while reading as—while Marxists Internet Archive is a godsend—its not great for maintaining focus like a physical book can, and audiobooks have the issue of being unable to easily backtrack to find a reference

not sure where I'd even order it from though. if I were to do so I'd want to do it through a Communist press and the only one I know of is Iskra, whom I don't know if they produce copies of Capital (especially what with the sheer volume making it expensive to produce)

it's amazing how substantially your site has changed since i first followed. Heoism is such a thoughtful philosophy and i rlly love that you take into account the diversity of leftist thought <3

its really nice to hear that, especially from you, what with your site being one of the first I'd found when I came onto neocities; writing down my thoughts, however juvenile they might initially be, and opening them to public critique (and furthermore allowing me to re-read what I've written) and cross-referencing them with new theory I learn and changes in material conditions help me to more rapidly develop Heoism

in real life much of my ability to organize is extremely restricted, and about the most ive been able to do is convert people to Marxist-Leninist Syndicalists (the best way I can describe it; essentially trade unionism with rudimentary understanding of how general unions would function - I'm still working out how to explain theory)

much of what ive seen in socialist spaces is bickering between anarchists and marxist-leninists because we keep looking at post-capitalism through the imperialist lens of ideological dominance, rather than a globalist lens of a cooperative federation, and when i came to that conclusion i realized that exact latter bit *is* the solution: unite as a single vanguard, obliterate capitalism, and then forge

Just a new web banner is all; it's visually emulating the RCA's banner (I've since learned they're a Trotskyist organization but don't know enough about Trotsky to weigh in) but I think I need to make it a lot wider and by proxy reduce the amount of height it consumes
