After a long discussion with my dad about the invasion of Ukraine, what led up to it, leftism, anti-imperialism, life in the USSR, Stalin, stalinism, and so much more, he has told me he'd like to read the books I've read.

He's brought this request up twice more already and he's been very keen on my perspective when we recently had a talk about leftist perspectives on the concept of nations and states.

Now here's the issue, I don't really read books. I read articles, essays and other shorter texts as well as video lectures (I love you yellow parenti). He is very much a Book Reader. The type of dad to have more than one book about historical naval battles.

He's a good guy, but he can get very defensive and set in his ways, and he's sort of stuck in the basic NATO EU-leftlib mindset.

I plan on giving him Dominico Losurdos "Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend" as a christmas present alongside a list recommending him other books.

• Blackshirts and Reds
• This Soviet World (Though I've only read excerpts of this one sadly)
  And which other books should I recommend him? I've been looking for a nice approachable Lenin one, I'm thinking State and the Revolution?
  I was also considering Marx' "The 18th Brumaire", but I've also only read excerpts from that one, so I don't know.
  Also are there any essays you'd recommend for him, despite him not being a short form enjoyer? I'm considering Engels' On Authority.

I'd like some recommendations for good books. I'm especially interested in stuff that can turn him towards a more third-worldist perspective. I've never read any Fanon @ReadFanon@hexbear.net (sorry) so I don't feel comfortable just throwing a book at him from there, but would it make sense? Likewise I'd like to get more modern stuff.

i was actually reading theory

I hope you can help me, my friends. I am carrying a child in my womb who needs proper care and healthy nutrition. Please do not forget to support me and my family. https://gofund.me/1222af19

Friends, my family and I are facing a really tough winter. We spend most of our time outside the tent, and it’s extremely cold. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough warm clothes or blankets to stay warm.

I sincerely ask for any support you can offer. Even a small contribution to buy warm clothes and blankets would make a huge difference for my family. Every little help means warmth and safety for us this winter. Thank you in advance for any share or donation. 🙏❤️

You row to go forward but instead of water it's wheel

Fun fact: Every year about 10 randomly chosen white middle aged dads in the west are afflicted with rowbike madness and start trying to revolutionize this as the next best thing. They pull of frankly impressive engineering feats to produce the most contraption bicycle yet devised, here's an early 2020s example

And hang out in Epstein’s plane, with Bill, because that motherfucker is always there?

Like, they are all implicated apparently. Anyone you can think of…Chomsky, Mick Jagger, Barney, Elmo, Big Bird. Maybe Marx was just wrong about dialectical materialism, should have been dialectical pedophilia wtf

Thank you all. Its an honor to be back on vacation. Ive created a metric fuckton of shareholder value this year, and I couldnt be more proud.
