someone recommended me an alternate search engine called wiby but it doesn't seem to have much in its archive yet. lotsa people're adding their neocities sites from the looks of it if y'all'd like to add some

capital, volume 2 first impressions: a lot of math. volume 1 used a lot of math, yes, but it was much more history and economics focused. volume 2 is now expanding on the grounds established in volume 1, which in my physical copy takes up nearly HALF of the collated book

i might end up making a portion of the site like mental-labour does for proper reflections on leftist media and what i actually get out of it. i don't often write down this stuff. there's always the low-hanging fruit of, "summarize capital," but many people've done that already. there's a difference between a summary and an analysis

Man, kudos to you for even trying. I couldn't get through Capital vol2 because of how DENSE it is with the math. I'm not an economist and hurts my little pea brain XD

yeapyeap; i intend to go through all three volumes, then theories of surplus value (the ussr hypothesized it was the rough draft for capital, volume 4), finish what is to be done? by lenin, and then probably go through the vietnamese guide to dialectical materialism and subsequent historical materialism. not sure where to go from there. maybe some more mao or che. ho chi minh is rather brief w no books afaik

yeah What Is to Be Done is a lot more accessible for me as opposed to Capital. have fun with the reading! It's incredible how relevant it all is over two hundred years later ;w;

had to make some edits from my phone but i think thats the most succint descriptions for capitalism and surplus labour i can give. the purpose of handing someone books is to give them the supporting information and sources, but i dont think its unreasonable to provide easily digestible summaries

I really should start just programming this fully in Libre Office instead of just the text and then manually building the code around it in the Neocities code editor

agitation for the 24 hour work week is going strong with great success. people are fully on board for the model (4 days of 6 hours) with proportional wage increase so that the wages are still higher than they were even before the hours were lowered - more pay, less hours!

this does definitely need to be spread more, i might make a page for it; ive mainly been agitating for this in person within the union while teaching communism but this needs to spread widely enough to place legal pressure to redefine this model as full-time
