learn about dialectical and historical materialism
about me
i like posting about things i like; especially film, art, music, and figure skating- some of my favorite figure skaters are evgenia medvedeva, denis ten, javier fernandez.
i'm a marxist-leninist. as we enter a more multi-polar world over the course of this century, i believe the most important thing we can do is oppose western imperialism on all fronts. we must oppose us and nato military and financial involvement in any and all conflicts, we must stand against the united states' new cold war against china, and we must work to promote understanding of anti-imperialist revolutionary forces across the globe.
i reject liberal feminists' lack of critical analysis regarding the sexual exploitation of women, and i reject the gender essentialist rhetoric espoused by many radical feminists. i'm aligned with marxist feminism, but find its existing historical theory to be limited in scope. our feminist theory must be further refined. the development of patriarchy precedes the development of class-based society and private property. eradicating capitalism does not resolve all issues of patriarchy. a more radical and transfeminist theory must be developed.
i've done some acting and i was a dancer for five years. right now i work in senior caregiving.
some my favorite artists lately are hiperson, sky ferreira, faye wong, the sundays, tinashe, jun togawa, the last poets, fiona apple, and daisy chainsaw. and i'm always exploring new artists so if you want any music recs or have any to share then lmk.
i like manga and i grew up on series like skip beat, chihayafuru, fullmetal alchemist, naruto, peach girl, and death note. some more recent works i like include skip and loafer, apothecary diaries, 7th time loop, witch hat atelier, ramparts of ice, and the works of tatsuki fujimoto. for games i'm mostly into rpgs; elder scrolls, fire emblem, etc.
some of my favorite films are raw, swing girls, swallowtail butterfly, network, red sorghum, bicycle thieves, turtles are surprisingly fast swimmers, your name, keep cool, 10 things i hate about you, and fish tank. and i write reviews for everything i watch, so if you want my letterboxd, ask!
my favorite novels are probably don quixote, speak, wuthering heights, and the works of george rr martin. outside of fiction i'd especially recommend exploring walter rodney, vladimir lenin, and frantz fanon.
my style is mostly like turtlenecks, maxi skirts, and corduroys? also i enjoy studying topics like linguistics, art history, food history, and other things in the realm of humanities.
also i'm an enantiomorphic gradation of self and my own cassandrist parabolic antenna and i see the tradition of all dead generations weighing like a nightmare upon the brains of the living :)
