Settlers: The Mythology Of The White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern - J. Sakai 
A uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anticolonial movements, Settlers was first published in the 1980s. Written by activists with decades of experience organizing in grassroots anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book established itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements. Always controversial within the establishment left, Settlers uncovers centuries of collaboration between capitalism and white workers and their organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity. As recounted in painful detail by J. Sakai, the United States has been built on the theft of Indigenous lands and of Afrikan labor, on the robbery of the northern third of Mexico, the colonization of Puerto Rico, and the expropriation of the Asian working class, with each of these crimes being accompanied by violence.
The counter-revolution of 1776: slave resistance and the origins of the United States of America - Gerald Horne 
In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne complements his earlier celebrated Negro Comrades of the Crown, by showing that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt. In the prelude to 1776, more and more Africans were joining the British military, and anti-slavery sentiments were deepening throughout Britain. And in the Caribbean, rebellious Africans were chasing Europeans to the mainland. Unlike their counterparts in London, the European colonists overwhelmingly associated enslaved Africans with subversion and hostility to the status quo. For European colonists, the major threat to security in North America was a foreign invasion combined with an insurrection of the enslaved. And as 1776 approached, London-imposed abolition throughout the colonies was a very real and threatening possibility–a possibility the founding fathers feared could bring the slave rebellions of Jamaica and Antigua to the thirteen colonies. To forestall it, they went to war. The so-called Revolutionary War, Horne writes, was in large part a counter-revolution, a conservative movement that the founding fathers fought in order to preserve their liberty to enslave others–and which today takes the form of a racialized conservatism and a persistent racism targeting the descendants of the enslaved. The Counter-Revolution of 1776 drives us to a radical new understanding of the traditional heroic creation myth of the United States.

Big Darby News: eyewitness reports of her doing a big stretch and yawn from her fort and looking like a hermit crab boss in a jrpg. For sure each paw and the head would be different targets and the paws would respawn after a set amount of turns but you need to keep the paws at bay cause one of em heals the head and the other has a charge attack that can party wipe.
I am going to have my first paid vacation in my life in a few months, took me some decades to find a job that provides this.
And since I’ve been doing full time studies with work for the past three years straight, no vacation or break, I figured I should really actually go somewhere and not just sit in the same chair I always sit in spoonless.
Looked at all the insanely expensive hotels and such. Realized I’m really not interested in that stuff, also my pay is pretty shit so can’t afford to do a week of any hotel. But also, nah.
Honestly I just want to see the stars with no light pollution again and listen to the sea and silence. So I found a really cheap retreat type thing on a remote island where you can still see the milky way on a clear night. This is what I will do, I’m so exited.
There is nothing there, no shops or anything. Under 20 people live there out of the summer touristy season. There are more sheep than people! There are ghost stories and old viking ship routes to see. I bet it’s amazing during a storm (be careful what you wish for, lol).
It’s going to be so late in the autumn that I will get to experience real darkness at night again, grew up on an island so I miss it.
And the ship there is public transport so it’s free.
It’s going to be so nice.
I’ve been watching the postering wars between Zionists and activists in my city over the past two years. Basically the good guys have won all over the city as a lot of overall Zionists have shut the fuck up about Israel.
However there is this one corner that is always plastered with the most deranged zionist cope and I do my groceries there. As looking forward to reading what dumb shit they’re posting now to see some comrade scraped every pole free of their bullshit
This thread is such a dumpster fire. I really hate people who downplay Bush. Like how are these people supposed to be leftists?
it is july 6 and stalin saved the world from fascism
Online ads are officially worse than TV ads used to be. At least then you knew itd be 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes which meant you would get up and do other shit for 5 minutes and then come back.
Body wash is one of the biggest scams out there. Even though I’ve done incredibly dumb shit with my money at least I can sleep well knowing I only spend 5 bucks every 2 months on a gallon dish soap to clean my body, hands, dishes, and bathroom
I wish someone would “do something” about the governor of Virginia because i’m kinda pissed off that they’ve been teasing recreational weed sales for OVER FIVE YEARS NOW only to finally pass a law only for the governor to say “no we’re not gonna do that actually”
Library Genesis is still down
Bought a used ebike online, just rode it across town to the service shop that can do an ownership transfer
The pedal assist is sick as hell, my thicc ass can probably get back into shape on this bad boy
The British on March 17th 1939:
The Soviet Union exists!context
On March 17 [1939] the British Government suddenly remembered the existence of the Soviet Union
more context
On March 17 [1939] the British Government suddenly remembered the existence of the Soviet Union and inquired what its attitude would be toward the Hitler threat in Eastern Europe. Moscow replied promptly and proposed an immediate conference between Britain, France, the U.S.S.R., Poland, Rumania and Turkey to consider how to resist German aggression. This was exactly and obviously what was urgently needed. Nothing less than a drawing together of all the threatened states could be of any avail. Rumania was under intense pressure to turn over her economy to Germany and the quickest action was needed.
