The endless desire to start new projects before finishing the one you're on, I know it well

They're still great epubs! Not sure how many downloads you get, but I check ComLib first when looking for an epub of a book I intend on reading (though I basically know what's on ComLib at this point). Take your time, comrade!

I think @Edie@hexbear.net with her work on ComLib is a great example of someone fulfilling that role, digging into older important texts and keeping them accessible and available, in modern, epub format, only not a Trot. Shoutout!

I hope so, lol

Mega mega mega THREAD

Beat me to it! Jones' critique is excellent, really shows just how chauvanistic the messaging of Orwell is.

Yep! Seems like a common story and a good sign of increasing shifts. The quantitative buildup will result in a qualitative leap!

Thanks a bunch! Looks like for now, starting as a volunteer and feeling it out is best, hopefully it will grow from there in time. I appreciate it! And yea, I'd probably be a part of the "Alienated Too Online Communist to Touch Grass pipeline" too, haha.

Hey everyone, it's time to come discuss Capital again!

For anyone in PSL, what's the onboarding process like? I'm terrified of organizing from the social aspect, but I don't want that to be an excuse to not commit to making the world a better place. I have a few questions:

1. What's the onboarding process generally like? I know it depends on local chapters, but is it super in-person, more online, etc?
2. What works are generally in the training list? Are there tests, etc?
3. What's the weekly expected commitment in terms of hours? I'm at a very busy time in my life, I may just end up as a volunteer rather than a cadre, but I'd love to be a committed member of a good org if I can.

Any thoughts? I know I can't expect answers for everything, but just a general idea would be nice.

Congrats, comrade!!!

Thanks!

Ayy let's go!!!

1 year on the bear site!

I enjoyed this. I don't quite agree with Hudson:s persistent focus on monetary Imperialism, nor with his conclusions about the Soviet economy, the drive towards World War II, and other conclusions that come from his over-emphasis, but this was absolutely a valuable method for looking into one factor of the modern US Empire and how it functions. I think one of the issues I ran into was the financial jargon, I was able to follow for the most part but Hudson lost me here or there along the way.

Thanks for hosting this! As for suggestions, I don't have any specific for the Middle East, but would love to read about it to help follow the current situation much bettee. It's clearly a gap in my knowledge.

Maybe slow it down? 10 pages a day, adjusted to what works for you?

Amazing, I'll need to post it more then
