I actually read Infantile Disorder a few years ago, found it hard to penetrate at the time. Would be interesting to see what I come away with now.

Marxist-Leninists, etc. Each tendency has something to offer, but I believe in the power of the proletariat and proletarian power/decision making above all else. That's not something I genuinely find in non-leftist tendencies, and it's the most important part of communism in my estimation.

That being said, the more I discover about myself and immerse myself in the world around me it's dawned on me that my journey has led me to identifying with more leftist positions within the Marxist/communist spectrum, council communism specifically. That's not to say I'm against anarchists...

She didn't oppose anything. She actively engaged in it and openly said she wouldn't change anything Biden was doing. You don't need to perform mental gymnastics to say you prefer your own comfort at the expense of others, just say you never cared about the genocide and still don't.

He's a piece of shit and so is your shitty rag for publishing this pathetic attempt at rehabilitation.

The purity test stuff is pure nonsense. If someone thinks opposing genocide is a purity test they're a waste of oxygen.

Yeah, I've downloaded a bunch of stuff (you specifically sent me a link for Rühle sometime back) on my ReMarkable and have a system for making my way through it, or I'd be fairly overwhelmed.

I do yeah, but just so happens his section was next on my reader and most his meet the under 25 page rule I have to be considered a pamphlet. I think I have like ten more of his pamphlets before I've read all the council communism pamphlets I currently have and move onto whichever tendency is next.

Or, they still would be because Kamala is just another tool of capitalism, same as Trump. Only difference is in the means and overt nature Trump uses, Dems, like Kamala, do the same things, only you're ok with it because they do it with civility.
