Yet another busy week but things have started to settle down, got back to reading properly yesterday and have reached the point where we get some interesting reveals. Very excited about where it goes from here.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm going to start reading "Endnotes 1: Preliminary Materials for a Balance Sheet of the 20th Century".

Today the first four volumes of the Endnotes collective arrived at my home and I'm eager to read them. To refresh my memory, I'm going to reread the first one.

The first volume, as its title suggests, reviews what happened in the twentieth century from the perspective of communization theory, which is understood as the expression of the communist movement in the current cycle of struggles. It contrasts two positions: that of Théorie Communiste, which is more determinist and argues that communism was impossible to achieve in that context, and that of Gilles Dauvé, who claims that communism was achievable but that mistakes were made by the people in that historical context.
