I feel like a site that just took the list of worka from marxist.org, used their own translations/versions, and added some notably missing worka would do well so long as it had a catchy url.

What exactly is a scholar monk? Trots have a selective canon, generally one intended to promote the idea that Trotsky was the co-revolutionary with Lenin and that one should engage primarily with Trotsky's speculative (and historically, a failure revolutionarily) works in exile. They talk about transitional programs so much they forget to engage critically with their failure to produce the revolution that requires transition.

I think there is a parallel in that Trotskyists are often correctly labeled as "academic Marxists", which is really just an insult meaning, "a self-labeled Marxist that is wrong and does no organizing but uses a lot of words and references from Marxist theory". Is that a monk scholar? They catalog and go on at length about hypotheticals but fail to do praxis, e.g. converting the nonbelievers and educating the believers?

Marxists.org is useful in that it makes works available for free and is an easy to remember domain. There are other projects doing similar things but they don't have the luck of owning a domain called marxists.org.

I asked you to define technofeudalism and you just started making things up based on the words "techno" and "feudalism". Surely it is us that are afraid of critical thinking and having an echo chamber, person that ran away and hid from the replies.

If Zohran is smart he'll lock up the NYPD first thing just like Bane.

I thought she was vaguely tied to Socialist Alternative shortly after Virgil left. It's been years since then and I haven't followed her since.

It won't load for me (says Tweet doesn't exist). Was this a recent visit?

COVID is basically the same as it has been. Libs are just committed to normalization.

Racist and xenophobic!

Hongdian inks are made and owned in China. If you need permanent, the three Sailor ones are very high quality.

Yeah they trumped up charges and started harassing them.

Surely DSA will provide security via their hardened AK-wielding cadres.

He probably won't be that bad. But he will still disappoint in various ways.

How long do you think it will be between him assuming office and using the NYPD thugs to his advantage rather than adopting an adversarial approach?
