I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

      Cool story. You’re right, it’s not an exact science, so why are you so sure about your perspective on it either? I think the answer is “identity”.

      As for my reading list, I’ve probably gotten further into Das Capital than you have, and it belongs on the side of electrification that it was written on.

        Apparently not far enough to be able to spell the German title correctly.

          I normally just call it Capital, Das Kapital is a bit “pretentious” for lack of a better word when talking to non-marxists and non-English words scare them, but I’ve never even accidentally called it “Das Capital,” lol

          Oh yeah, K. It has been a few years.

          I swear, I did read a good chunk of the thing. Maybe a third or so. And yes, it did make my eyes bleed.

        Capital is a thesis on economy, why would it help you on politics?

        Surely you’d know what it’s about if you’ve read it.

          Yeah, I do. Usually when an “anti-imperialist” tells you to read more, that’s what they mean. What are you thinking of, then, Settlers?
