Notification for: @vema@lemmygrad.ml
I'm finishing Socialism in Power by Roland Boer, exploring achievements and developments of governance in socialist countries, by example of pre-Khruschev Soviet Union, DPRK, and China. Very much recommended. It really hammers home how democratic those countries were/are.
Finally got around to listening to the audiobook of the Jakarta Method. It seems the moral of the story is... if you want peace, prepare for war, don't go quietly.
"Political power grows from the barrel of a gun." - Mao Zedong.
I'm finishing "My Universities", a short autobiographical novel by Maxim Gorky about his struggle for revolutionary education in late 19th century Russian Empire, and I've also started Losurdo's "Democracy or Bonapartism".
Gorky's "My Childhood" really broke my heart. It's a truly beautiful book. Sheds light onto the life of the average Russian people in Tsarist Russia.
Yes, I'm really liking "My Universities" as well for the same reasons. They're part of his autobiographical trilogy: "My Childhood", "My Apprenticeship", and "My Universities". And it seems I'll be reading them out of order.

Yesterday I started Assata Shakur's autobiography. Powerful read and it's only just begun.
Started The Fort Bragg Cartel. Great research but so far not much that I didn't learn already from Seth's podcast appearances.
