literally feels exhausting to try and start something new since everything isn’t as good as i want and i always end up disappointed. so i’m gonna just start reading rly trashy soap opera style novels. it will be so messy and at least i’ll be having fun ✌️🙂

i kno i just read it for the first time like a little over a week ago but fuck it im rereading 末路灵器师. everything i have read since is so insanely lacking and its bc i keep comparing it to this so instead of reading something disappointing ill just reread it instead.

incredibly informative. rly enjoying it.

rereading How Non-Violence Protects The State. rly changed my perspective on some things the first time. interested to see how i feel about it now 6 months later.

genuinely so surprised by how much i like this. actually so funny. unfortunately the translation isn’t even halfway done and i didn’t realize 😭 so i am gonna try…. TRY to use a dictionary and mtl it. pray for me.

“That is why Kautsky’s “criticism” of the disfranchisement of the bourgeoisie is distinguished by such . . . sweet naïveté, which would be touching in a child but is repulsive in a person who has not yet been officially certified as feeble-minded” 💀

“In actual fact, it is obvious that Kautsky is writing in a country where the police forbid people to laugh “in crowds,” otherwise Kautsky would have been killed by ridicule” pffft ok tear this bitch’s arguments apart and humiliate him at the same time 🤷‍♀️ why not?

lmaooooo lenin is actually so funny. if i was kautsky, after this dropped, i’d have never left my house again. i bet this shit kept him up at night for months.

g-d i’m rly struggling thru this. some parts are really tedious

picking this back up

reading this for book club it’s not bad tbh and it’s fun to talk about

restarting and trying to read this again

i don’t kno if i care for the constant flashbacks. actually i do kno. i hate it. the story is interesting i think im just impatient.

what on earth is this man talking about lmfaoooo

"If the words "seizure of political power" are left out, the party no longer remains a revolutionary party. Although it will remain a revolutionary party in name then it will actually be reduced to a reformist party of the bourgeoisie."
