☭ RISE UP YE WRETCHED! ☭

give me your favorite quote by a marxist now its important

"Yes, everyone must be involved in the struggle for the sake of the common salvation. There are no clean hands, no innocent bystanders. We are all in the process of dirtying our hands in the quagmire of our soil and the terrifying void of our minds. Any bystander is a coward or a traitor." - Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.” ― Karl Marx, Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

Theres 100% a growing attitude among leftists that spend all their time logged on that reading theory is either not worth it or is "elitist" and its incredibly bizarre. The left is not some club you join by watching YouTube videos all day, we're a very large group of people who base our beliefs on complex, fact-based understandings of class analysis and economics, theory exists to clarify these things. Anti-intellectualism in the form of talking like theory is just two old dead white guys is both counter-productive and actively stupid

Tiktok is not theory, tumblr is not theory, Twitter threads are not theory. Get some short beginner recommendations and start reading, its easier than you think

Yo i have an incredibly valuable resource for those of us with adhd that would like to commit harder to the good fight and want some theory as guidance! It's called Audible Anarchist, and it's available on Youtube or as a podcast wherever you get podcasts. it has audiobooks of basically the biggest names in the anarchist canon. Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin? yep. Anarchism and Other Essays? yep. Socialism from Below? yep. plus more and more every week!! arm yourself with the knowledge to save our sorry asses folks.!!

Checks out the people who reblog this who can’t be bothered to do one thing every four years and expect us to do everything for them.

people on tumblr will really be like "posting on your blog? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, winning an election" and then not win an election

happy pride month!!

why did i say that

happy pride month

My friend Nader recently became an uncle to his newborn baby niece, Masa. Due to the traumatic stress and malnutrition experienced under genocidal conditions, many mothers cannot produce breast-milk. Masa, like tens of thousands of other babies in Gaza, relies on formula to survive. Today, Nader told me that this little girl is in the hospital now due to a severe chest infection. She is only 8 days old. Please help her.

I woke up today to the tears of my brother's wife, the mother of little Masa, who is suffering from a severe chest infection and is currently in the hospital under medical care. We implore you, friends, to help us get out of this situation and donate to buy milk and other necessary baby supplies for this child so we can leave Gaza. Please don't hesitate to donate.

Nader's fundraising is vetted (gazavetters #4) and supports his large family of nine people, including small children of which little Masa is the youngest. Israel's systematic targeting of children means that the price of formula, diapers, medicine, and other basic supplies are extremely expensive. Please help him raise the funds needed to help innocent Masa survive genocidal conditions.
