"You Stalinists for whom the masses are no longer anything but sacrificial carcasses which you offer at the altar of an alliance with the democratic imperialists…you forget that these same masses carried through the October Revolution and the victorious civil war…The revolutionary capacities of the proletariat are a factor which you have come to hate and fear, for they threaten your privileges." — Jan 26, 2026 08:50AM

“I've realised that I know myself by heart - I know myself to the point of recognising people who don't exist and yet complement me. I know myself like a path that leads home, like a doorless corridor, like endless guardrails. I know myself like a decade-long involuntary commitment. To end and be done with it. I sense a change in my body-it is unsexed, majestic and magnificently afflicted, like a tower riddled with sorrow. And I can feel the whole crush of humanity inside me, concentrated in a place that is absolutely personal.”
