Friday night thread

It's friday night and the weekend lies ahead of us.

What is Holla Forums up to tonight? Reading? Or perhaps committing to the preparation of social praxis?

Shitposting on leftypol.

Just read stuff on critique of the gotha programme and am inching ever closer to becoming a leftcom.

The flooding has gone down but roads are shit so I'm gonna drink and read or play vidya. Just finished Eclipse and Reemergence so thinking I'll give some of the invisible comittee a try.

Have a job interview next week. Wasting time otherwise.

I have to write a review/response to Samuel Huntington and i'm not looking forward to that.
Aside from that i'm hoping to start China Meiville's book on the October Revolution.

Just a friendly reminder to not feed bait to faggots like >>2040544. Thanks.

...

Got hurt while working, thankfully not an amerifat so i got 2 weeks paid leave.

I was stressed and anxious while working, now I'm depressed, fuck this, I wish I could be happy every now and then.

I'm pickling jalapenos and agonizing over the absence of a vector file of the board flag. Stumbled upon a copy of Franco's Prisoner today, that was nice.

...

Don't bother. Huntington was the only political scientist of the last 25 years with any real insight into the workings of the world at all. The only correct response is that you agree 100%.

I have to read the rest of this, it's a book on anti-natalism.

after this I'll get to Mututal Aid and Society of the Spectacle. There's so much insight in leftist thought, sometimes I wonder if I'll read every book before I expire.

reading

no one could possibly be that retar

I have a soar throat and can't sleep because of the coughing. I've tried to get some reading done but I'm to tired. I played some CIV VI and managed to get a cultural victory, which is fun i guess.


Btw what do you guys think of negri?

Was studying Bookchin earlier, now I'm reading Farb's work on social evolutionist anthropology.

underrated post

I only skimmed through this book, but I can safely say it's the most dismal thing I've ever read on Holla Forums.


Did his neckbeard become sentient and write this on its own?

Just back from running a local hip hop and rap gig. fuckin sick man.
Now im back looking for something to read. what you @ OP

Just got back from the gym. I'm drinking some protein, and I'm gonna keep reading through the stuff from pic related. I'm on Socialism: Utopian and Scientific now.
Not to make this too much of a diary entry, but I just finished law school orientation, and they had one lecture in which they talked about the law like it was God (devotion should be to the law as opposed to the principles the law should enforce) and another where some people spewed trickle down idpol as if having a few black people in top tier law firms would be more effective than helping the hordes of black people who do nothing besides drink water and be poor all day.It's Halloween 24/7 around here.
I can't wait until I have money to fund left wing death squads to kill myself and my coworkers,

Is it good?

It's definitely worth a read if you know nothing about utopian socialism.I don't understand dialectics very well at this point, but the book/essay makes it clear why dialectics and more specifically dialectical materialism is useful and differentiates that way of thinking from previous philosophy pretty well.
That reading list in general is very well thought out. It gets a little repetitive at times, but the stuff that's repeated is worth repeating.

Making time until I'm tired enough to embark on those blessed 8 hours of oblivion.


Source?

I plan on readint theory from the Utopian Socialists before reading this. Starting with the book here.

Reading "The Revolution Betrayed" and drinking shitty local beer.

I'm a burger so I'm heading into a long weekend due to our knock-off version of May Day. Tonight I am drinking whisky and dicking around with vidya. Just finished McPhee's biography of Robespierre today so I'm trying to decide what to read next. Is Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution any good? Was thinking that might be appropriate given the centennial we're fast approaching.

Reading Capital. It is hard but really rewarding, even if not everything clicks instantly.

Try a corncob pipe with some cheap burley or Virginia tobaccos. It's the healthiest and cheapest way to smoke, and it definitely the most socialist way

READ LENIN
READ STALIN

Haven't smoked a pipe in a while, but I'll give it a shot.


I've already read Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism and Revolution and the State, plus some essays.
My God if he could see the demon that is Neoliberalism.

If I wanted to learn about state capitalism I'd read Mao.

Lmao

Weather's getting cold son, time for some comfy latakia mixtures.

But I have read Lenin and Stalin, neither of them wrote comprehensive histories of the Russian Revolution though.

doing homework


:/

Counting dead people.
