Stalin and Deng are the litmus test for whether you’re a materialist or just a liberal with red aest

The absolute state of the discourse on this board lately is pathetic. It’s almost 2026 and I’m still seeing "socialists" parroting CIA talking points like they’re reading from the Black Book of Communism. It’s time to filter the radlibs and the ultras who care more about moral purity than winning.

If we actually apply historical materialism instead of utopian wish-casting, it becomes obvious that Stalin and Deng aren't just "good" – they are the two greatest practitioners of Marxism in history because they did what Western leftists refuse to do: they prioritized the survival of the revolution over the approval of the bourgeoisie.

1. Stalin: The Shield
Stop crying about "authoritarianism" and read Losurdo. His Critique of a Black Legend completely exposes how the "millions dead" narrative is just recycled Nazi war propaganda that the West adopted during the Cold War. The "Holodomor" wasn't a genocide; it was a combination of kulak sabotage and cyclical drought that the Soviets eventually ended through collectivization. Stalin understood that you don't survive capitalist encirclement with good vibes. He took a country of wooden plows and turned it into a nuclear superpower in a single generation. He purged the fifth columnists because he knew a war of annihilation was coming. Without that "authoritarianism," the Wehrmacht would have wiped the Slavs off the map.

2. Deng: The Sword
The hate for Deng is even more embarrassing. You guys claim to care about the poor but hate the man who oversaw the greatest poverty alleviation program in human history? Deng understood that "poverty is not socialism." He developed the productive forces necessary to compete with the West. And regarding 1989: He saved China from the fate of the USSR. Tiananmen was a textbook color revolution, backed by Western NGOs and intelligence. Deng saw Gorbachev selling out to Pizza Hut and realized that sometimes you have to crush a counter-revolution to preserve the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Because he had the spine to do that, China is now mogging the US economy while Russia spent the 90s getting looted by oligarchs.

TL;DR
Parenti said it best in Blackshirts and Reds: you people want a revolution without a revolution. You want a clean, safe process that never makes mistakes and never exercises power. That doesn't exist. Stalin secured the state; Deng secured the economy. If you reject them, you’re not a revolutionary – you’re just an idealist waiting to lose.

Musk is basically building Marx's utopia faster and better than any revolution ever could.Marx wanted full automation to end wage slavery – we hunt, fish, philosophize all day. Musk? Optimus robots, AI killing jobs, and he pushes UBI hard so everyone lives off abundance. "To each according to need" without the gulags.

Environment: Marx saw capitalism wrecking the planet. Musk's Tesla + solar is ending oil dependency and fixing the metabolic rift through tech.

Space: To beat scarcity for good, we need insane productive forces. SpaceX/Mars = literally expanding the means of production off-Earth. Asteroid mining, multi-planetary life – end of resource wars.

Neuralink: Overcomes alienation by merging us with machines, making everyone super-intelligent and creative. Real "free development of each."

Bureaucracy: We know planned economies turned into party dictatorships. Musk hates regulators, builds decentralized stuff (Starlink, X, crypto). Tech makes the state obsolete naturally.

Historical materialism 101: Communism comes AFTER capitalism maxes out productive forces. Musk is doing exactly that – turbo mode. Past attempts jumped the gun and crashed.Why wait for the proletariat to rise when rockets are landing weekly and robots are coming next year? Marx would be geeking out over reusable boosters if he were alive.Drop the red flags, grab the Tesla logo. The future's happening now.Thoughts? Still think I'm a lib or starting to see it?

How does one overcome misanthropy?

Basically, Capitalism’s degenerate culture has created a creature known as the Normie. A Normie describes an individual, usually a proletariat, with no thought, no culture, no political engagement, no class outlook; a Normie is nothing, NOTHING but corporate propaganda walking around in a human suit. A normie is so opposite a human being that if a hundred million died tomorrow afternoon it would be morally equivalent to the death of three ants. Normies are like a great column of flesh, soulless human shields, that stand in between revolutionaries and communism

So basically, how do I overcome my utter hatred for humanity, since I think the human race as capitalism has deformed it is simply worthy of annihilation, all peoples, countries, and cultures are America now, and America must be destroyed, that’s the entire problem

My mom doesn't like them but she will be nice to them of course. I don't know how she will react if I reveal my asian friend is more than a friend. I'm her little wizard boy so it might be a double blow to her.

The Palestine movement failed miserably to stop the genocide because the movement is largely one of SYMBOLIC politics, not one of instrumental politics. It’s not about the Palestinian people but about angry western youth letting off steam. This exact BDS movement has become about self-righteous zoomers showing off how “virtuous” they are by boycotting Starbucks and Coke, never mind that boycotts are supposed to be a militant tactic and weapon to attack an enemy head-on. The campus protests from 2024 were also aimless and did nothing except get a bunch of students and professional activists arrested. Makes sense that NYU banned criticism of Zionism right afterwards.

Let this be known for the next time the world is thrown into a state of crisis.

The mass grooming of young men into nazism on the sharty and imageboards

Imageboards have of course been filled with nazis for a fuck ton of time from even the start, but most people agree it mainly started when moot added /news/ then all the chudcels flooded the rest of the site, then created /pol/ and the rest is history.

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).

And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.

They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

Addressing the end of various leftist holdout conflicts and their aftermath

The 2010s marked the effective end of most remaining communist insurgencies. Although many had been in decline for years, it was during that decade that they finally collapsed. The Naxal movement, communist insurgencies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the last remnants of the IRA either fizzled out or ended with arrests after failed attacks and raids. In 2023, the Zapatistas dissolved their Autonomous Municipalities. The conflicts that leftist magazines and academics once wrote papers about and sometimes even traveled to for the occasional photoshoot are now over, so what is to done?

A few questions

I've been on this site long enough to get a superficial understanding of Marxist politics, but I've officially passed the Dunning-Krueger peak, where I've realized how superficial that knowledge is. So in an attempt to deepen my understanding of the subject, I have a few questions.

People say that gradual reforms won't work, with the cited reason being that, so long as the bourgeois element is allowed to exist in any significant capacity, it will burrow its way into government and reassert control. But doesn't China disprove that? Their entire plan is to gradually reform their market economy into "full" socialism.

On that note, from what I understand, "capitalism has inherent contradictions that will lead to its downfall" is really just a fancy way of saying that the relationship between the bourgeois and proletariat is an antagonistic one, and eventually the proletariat will get fed up with it and assert control. But is this actually a given? I could easily see a scenario where technology allows the bourgeois to assert permanent control, using robots to replace the proletariat and surveillance and weapons to quell any opposition. I could also see the opposite happening, where capitalism keeps rewinding itself to earlier states indefinitely, creating a situation where life is "good enough" that people don't feel the need to rebel.

Dialectics in general confuse me. Every time I think I have a grasp on them, I'll have someone else loudly proclaim that I'm wrong. If I ask for correction, the explanation provided is so long-winded and convoluted that I end up with more questions than answers. Can someone please give me a basic, working definition of what dialectics are in the context of Marxism? They seem so fundamental to Marxist analysis, and without understanding them, I don't feel like I can actually properly understand any of what I'm looking at.

Finally, I frequently hear people say that we're going to be entering a China lead multipolar world order. That sounds like like a (logical) contradiction to me. Doesn't the term "multipolar" imply multiple leaders?

Note that I don't ask these questions with any ideology in mind. I find much of what I read here incredibly confusing, and my ignorance has been punished enough that I figured it's high-time I do something about it.

>inb4 read a book

I plan to do that as well. I just thought I'd come to you guys so I have a starting point. Actually, it would be good if you guys recommended books to me.

Here's how China may actually still lose

Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.

Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.

China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.

China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.

This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.

Meanwhile, the global bourgeoisie has shown extreme amounts of solidarity amongst themselves, to great effectiveness. They are very unified, especially compared to the 1910s, unlike us.

I'm not even a Leninist nor do I find Lenin's pamphlet particularly enlightening, but how the fuck do the majority of self-described Leninists misunderstand imperialism as an action that a state takes, instead of it being an economic system, like this is still basic Leninism. It's legitimately baffling, how do these pseuds think the division of the world among capitalist powers being complete is a policy. How the fuck is that even a coherent sentence in the context of a policy, Lenin is so obviously talking about a stage of global capitalist development and not a fucking action.

Can someone give me non-bullshit explanation of how exactly Western PROLETARIAT benefits from imperialism?

The West exported their investments and know-how and helped in the industrialization of the third world. Not just China, but also SEA, Asian tigers, India, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia etc. This resulted in the exact opposite of what happened in colonialism. The Western industries were hollowed out this time, and outsourced to the third world. Now sure, the Western bourgie benefited from this, but the money didnt trickle down much. That's why in the 1970s you could support a family and live a decent life doing a simple blue collar job and now you cant. So where exactly did the Western PROLETARIAT benefit from this imperialism?

Post left-wing redneck music.

Rednecks used to be based, I used to call hogs Rednecks before I learned of the origin of the term “Redneck.” During the Battle of Blair Mountain which was the biggest labor uprising in American history the striking West Virginian coal miners wore red paisley patterned bandannas around their necks so the cops and national guard members called them “Rednecks.” So we must Make Rednecks Based Again by posting their music from before they became chuds.

What even is the point of Third Worldism anymore

What even is the point of this shit anymore? The great turdworld cope that China, Russia, India and maybe Turkey and Brazil is gonna team up into an anti imperialist avenger and destroy the Epsteinian McWorld AmeriKKKa imposed upon us has been shattered to pieces, none of these guys do anything to defend Iran when the Iranians were bombed by the "Israelis", Russia is playing footsy with the US and India and China are more focused with exploiting their neighbours than confronting blatant American overreach under Trump. Any response that does exist is mostly scattered and reactive (i.e buying gold to protect from Fed interest rates) rather than proactive (i.e doing currency swaps and bond liquidation to harm the greenback).
In absence of any hope in changing the global world order i have seen third worldists now retreating and openly defending national bourgeoisie in the name of anti imperialism (such as Korotaev defending Ukrainian oligarchs as barrier against US investments, etc) and it's like …. We are against imperialism not just because we hate the US. We are against the US because American imperialism encouraged corruption and extractivism in the Third World, while American backed Bourgeois organizations crack down on labour rights world wide. Playing defense for corrupt and extractivist oligarchs in the third world in the name of building productive forces, that just undercut the reason why so many people became anti imperialist in the first place.
And as global crises started to ramp up, with metabolic drift and climate change ruining shit, the old rhetorics of building productive capability and bourgeois nationalism is just not gonna be relevant for long. This whole thing is a dead end politically.

hey everyone :3
who are all of your favourite lgbt musicians??

right now mines Lex Walton, who you can find at https://youthagainstsatan.bandcamp.com I think she's one of the best songwriters currently doing it and her music is v heavily about being trans and gay. i think her latest album "I WANT YOU TO KILL ME" is probably her best but it might be easier to get into her through "Our Desire Lacks Knowing Music" or some of her EPs like "GIRLFRIENDS" or "ALEX WALTON BY ALEX WALTON FROM THE ALBUM ALEX WALTON"

Being into femboys doesn‘t make a man gay or bisexual. This may sound like a cope to avoid admitting to being either, but think about it.

Men who are into femboys are usually men who are also into women. And what they are into in femboys is a heteronormative presentation of femininity. Such men are usually not into men who look like men. One could then argue this is a preference, but a preference would mean that they are still into men but merely prefer this type of man. This isn‘t the case for men who into femboys though. Of all the people who are male they aren‘t turned on by any of them except femboys. So it‘s not a preference, it‘s exclusivity. Finally, men who are into femboys are generally not interested in sucking dick or being fucked in the ass.

We either conclude that 1) this is bisexuality but a very, very limited form of it with peculiarities that make it distinct from ordinary bisexuals who are attracted to average men, or 2) it is heterosexuality, but a redefined version whose basis isn‘t biology but certain signifiers and presentation, or 3) these men are standard heterosexuals but given enough female elements the gullible human brain mistakes it for a woman and lights up the horny center of the male brain. Evolution did not foresee cute, horny femboys and therefore didn‘t exclude it as a pointless mating option.

transpecism

hello i’m transpecies elf, dragon, and werewolf and overall an alterhuman in general. i also want to be a shapeshifter sometime in the future too or something like a squid. i wonder if transpecies would be considered just as valid and acceptable as transhumanism in the future or would it even be possible to be “fully” transpecies (changing from one animal to another physically and perhaps biologically as well in the sense it’s similar to transitioning)

Ive also dated trans folks but i never dated anyone JUST for their gender or gender identity, it seems like meaningless peacokcing behavior to me. I like who i like, regardless of what their identify is or anything else. What i dont understand is the hate toward the term, apart from the normal hate you get from being openly queer. Im a closeted pan sexual and i only really talk about this stuff with my partners, who also are almost always pan.

Chomsky-Epstein connection

Can we talk about the new revelations about Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein?

>The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November by US lawmakers.


>Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges – went deeper than the occasional political and academic discussions the former had previously claimed to have with the latter.


>Chomsky, 96, had also reportedly acknowledged receiving about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein while sorting the disbursement of common funds relating to the first of his two marriages, though the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has insisted not “one penny” came directly from the infamous financier.


>The emails disclosed on 12 November by the Republican members of the US House oversight committee generally detailed the correspondence Epstein had with political, academic and business luminaries, including the Bill Clinton White House’s treasury secretary Larry Summers and Steve Bannon, the longtime ally of Donald Trump. Further, they reveal Epstein and Chomsky were close enough to discuss musical interests and even potential vacations.


>Perhaps the most telling of the Chomsky-related documents in question was a letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky with the salutation “to whom it may concern”. It is not dated, but it contains a typed signature with Chomsky’s name and citing his position as a University of Arizona laureate professor, a role he began in 2017, as first reported by the Massachusetts news outlet WBUR.


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/noam-chomsky-jeffrey-epstein-ties-emails

A couple of things:

1. How could any principled anarchist be friends with a billionaire?

2. I get that Chomsky radicalized a lot of American Gen Xers and Millennials. Anarchists in the 90s and 2000s looked up to him as a god-man of sorts. He wrote many books that have become classics among the Gen X and Millennial American left. But how will this stain his reputation? Will he be cancelled? His books burned or thrown in the trash?

3. Is this a case of "live long enough to be the villain" or was Chomsky always sus?

4. How do you think Michael Parenti and Slavoj Zizek are taking this news?

Myanmar goes to the polls amid civil war and humanitarian crisis
The ruling junta has previously suppressed information about a severe food crisis gripping the country by pressuring researchers not to collect data about hunger and aid workers not to publish it, Reuters has reported, besides cracking down on journalists since the coup. Myanmar is one of the world's most under-funded aid operations, with only 12% of required funds received, the United Nations says. U.S. cuts to humanitarian aid are having a crushing impact on people, the U.N. special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar has said.

Is Market-Socialism the future of the socialist movement or only temporary?

Ever since the retirement of Fidel Castro in 2006 ever self-described communist country (all five of them) has been a market-socialist economy. China and Vietnam seem to have taken a liking to it, North Korea seems to be indifferent, I don’t know anything about Laos, and Cuba seems to be reluctant to it. Is only supposed to be temporary for until the communist movement gets back on its feet or are we stuck with Labubus and billboards forever?

Homer was actually 100% right in A Star in Burns and I will die on this hill. Man Getting Hit by Football was a charming hat tip to silent physical comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Pukeahontas was weepy, self-pitying crap from a man too lazy to actually change.

There will never be a revolution

There will never be a global communist revolution, there will never be an anarchist revolution, there will never be a revolution, there will never be an end of capitalism without the end of this planet and its inhabitants.

I am sure of this, because I am bored and its true and if you want to prove me wrong then go and try it. Do it.

Maoist, Juche, Kampuchean economics

Hello!

I want to preface this by saying I subscribe to Sorelian and Corporate statist thought. I'm really interested in political economy, however, and so out of curiosity, what are the political economics and labor organization theorized by Maoism, Kampuchean and Juche?

I figured it'd be best to ask it here, since it wouldn't be fair to not give you guys a chance. Thanks in advance and forgive the shitty drawing, I'm posting from an xbox

Alternative history thread

I think we live in a timeline where Palestine was lost from the very beginning.
What needed to happen in the past, to prevent the Zionist entity from coming into being?

I came up with a few theories:
1. Forced assimilation of Jews of in eastern Europe by the Soviets.
2. Alternative Jewish homeland in Crimea.

Option 1 is the preferable option because option 2 still creates a potentially ethnic strife with the native ethnic Crimeans.


Share your alternative history theories where Zionism is prevented.

Once the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution begins

In the future Global USSR, all Women will be given 60 days to get their Hair Cut/Chopped/Shaved off, either at home or at a People’s Barbershop by Female International Red Guards, and once the 60 day window passes, Female (Mostly Lesbian) International Red Guards will patrol the streets looking for Women with Reactionary Bourgeois Patriarchal Hair styles (anything longer then a Pixie Cut), and if/when they find one, they will Shave her head, have her walk through the streets wearing a Dunce Cap, attend a Struggle Session wearing a placard that says Revisionist/Bourgeois/Reactionary/Patriarchal, and send her to a Re-Education Camp to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, so She can become a Liberated Socialist Woman and begin traveling the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

How exactly do we successfully fight against and reverse Gen Alpha brainrot?

https://youtube.com/shorts/h2i3cGyzNKo

This stuff is becoming alarming. When I was a little kid in the 90s I would watch stuff that had actual substance to it (think: Disney renaissance, Don Bluth films, TV shows like Arthur). Plus our parents made an effort to read to us and get us looking at science books and history books for kids. When I babysit my neighbours’ kids who are eight and six (both boys) I’m horrified by how stupid they are. They can’t read at all. They can’t play musical instruments. They don’t do arts and crafts. They have the vocabularies of preschool-aged kids. They can’t do math and the eight-year old asks me to do his math homework for him. Both of them are either glued to their iPads or glued to watching YouTube on TV. It’s sad as hell. What do?

It's surprising, and kind of disappointing, how many self-proclaimed "Marxists" say that Marx and his followers were economic determinists, when they were very clear that the development of the means of production, which is to say, the technology used for productive labor, was itself determine of economic development.

If anything, Marx and friends were technological determinists, but even then, it's a very undialectical way of thinking. Technology and economics in reality lead eachother in more or less equal parts, and are additionally affected by and affect other forces such as science and politics. But either way, the claim that Marx was an economic determinist is flatly false.

AI was the last Hail Mary of the Pax Americana

Human behaviour subconsciously operates on the path of least resistance, that people will generally take the action - or inaction - which is the easiest and simplest to do: Unless it is more problematic to not act than to act, most people will continue to do nothing. Hence, until AI gets to the point where most people literally cannot afford food and potable water (which, is definitely a possibility, albeit remote in the near future) most people will be indifferent to big tech essentially looting everything of value from western society.

I think a more realistic possibility is the scheme just collapsing and bringing down the system with it in a way that makes the 2008 financial crisis look like a joke. Maybe next time don't sell off all your industry and human capital to enemy nations. Just to go on a tangent, we can trace almost every terrible decision and the decline of the standard of living in Western nations to their mutual decisions to pivot from manufacturing and industry to service economies, and fully embracing globalism (in an economic sense, to clarify) - which has had the side effect of making EVERYONE disposable, with it only being a matter of time. It started with outsourcing manufacturing to third world countries, continuing to outsourcing services, and the hope being that "AGI" will be able to completely remove the human element from the economy. Hence, why 'the system' is pursuing it with such fervor and desperation; if this doesn't work, they've essentially spent trillions of dollars that could have gone into industry on fancy autocomplete.

All my friends will die in the near future

all will take their own lives, all will lie to me, they will say that they enjoy my company but will be secretly rotting inside because they think, they know that I cannot save them.

And so to keep living is to watch every possibility on your life burn out, to try to enjoy the last minutes of a fire lit in the middle of a snowstorm.
I've tried relentlessly to be self sufficient. I've done my very best to become strong, to be able to fail and not collapse, to learn from every aspect, to never succumb to despair, to solitude, or to hope; to never need a shoulder to cry on, or a hand to help me.

To try and know how to console others, to fix all of their problems, to know the root of all of them… Treating people as systems to be observed, as pattern following entities, to try and know so much about everyone and about humans in general that no trouble, no nuance and no unspoken word would get past me… only to get woken up, at 4 am in the morning, because she cut her arms open and she's now in the hospital. Only to know that, again, another night, he's on the train tracks waiting for his life to end.

Sometimes, I wished I was immortal, so that the deaths of my beloved would blend into the past, so that suffering would temper my soul, so that I could endure anything…

Some day, we will walk along the endless strides of tulips we planted all those years ago, with the blinding sun shining on them and on us, obscuring the horizon; and we will get lost in the flowers.

/MENA/#1

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

Help a brother out

I feel like shit constantly, I broke up with my gf a year ago and since then all i've done since then is be miserable and dont even bother with other girls
I struggle keeping jobs, I'm broke and can't even afford to go the gym without having to restrain myself from some daily meals
I would never consider kms because I always have hope for the future, but the present is honestly raping me rn

Recommend me some leftist motivational books bros, if there's anything I still like doing is reading, and since most of the shit books ive tried are only "Get up and go get money" slop I struggled since to find something that aligns with my ideals while also telling me to get the fuck up.

Thanks beforehand!
