Communism is trending: if you're a lib/demsoc/socdem , I implore you to throw everything you were taught about communism out the window: it's wrong. Everyone should read these books about it and a bit of its history IMO, then decide for yourself if it is for you:

AND if you're feeling really spicy here's some Stalin:

Foundations of Leninism
Dialectical and Historical Materialism

Stalin is a good writer even if he wasn't groundbreaking in his theory. :3

And then for those who inevitably say, "what do you mean everything I was told was wrong, why shouldn't I believe the media and state education about communism?" I want to recommend Michael Parenti's book: Inventing Reality.

This tweet popped off. I am going through a tough time right now living in a household with abusive parents, who are being very hostile and transphobic day in day out.
I am going to make a post detailing this rather soon, but for now I wanted to post this while I have attention.

I am trying to gather funds to afford to move out and because of the state of the world right now finding work is being very difficult on me. If you could help out by throwing some change my way I would appreciate it very much. Thank You. https://cash.app/$anastasiaSparkii
