I wanna like Hasan but he needs to read theory and he explicitly says he doesn't read
so he's kind of fucking hopeless I guess

I've been Black all my life
I was only black for two weeks back in college
it sure was glorious for those few weeks when the astoturf machine was bewildered and didn't have marchine orders
no more laugh measures walter
finding out Ian Miles Cheong wasn't actually going to be executed by the state of Malaysia was one of the biggest disappointments of my life
Ludwig: Marxism denies that the individual plays an outstanding role in history. Do you not see a contradiction between the materialist conception of history and the fact that, after all, you admit the outstanding role played by historical personages?
"You say that people don't fall out of coconut trees, but I have definitely heard of this happening."
Stalin: No, there is no contradiction here. Marxism does not at all deny the role played by outstanding individuals, nor the fact that history is made by people. In Marx’s The Poverty of Philosophy and in other works of his you will find it stated that it is people who make history. But of course, people do not make history according to their own fancy or the promptings of their imagination. Every new generation encounters definite conditions already existing, ready-made, when that generation was born. And great people are worth anything at all only to the extent that they are able correctly to understand these conditions, to understand how to change them. If they fail to understand these conditions and try to alter them according to the promptings of their imagination, they will land themselves in the situation of Don Quixote. Thus it is precisely Marx’s view that people must not be counterposed to conditions. It is people who make history, but they do so only to the extent that they correctly understand the conditions that they have found ready-made, and only to the extent that they understand how to change those conditions. That, at least, is how we Russian Bolsheviks understand Marx. And we have been studying Marx for a good many years.
"People fall out of coconut trees if being up in a coconut tree is the context that they exist in and all that is around them."
