"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Tru. But tbh I got meds for the first time in my life for ADHD recently and it feels like fucking magic, but I can read sooooo much better than previously. I'm blowing through 'Black Bolshevik' right now. Never been able to read like this without having to reread pages over and over.

Nice! I'm glad you found smth that works for you. But like that still required you to get off ur ass and do smth about ur ADHD knowing it was impeding ur ability to read (and even then, you were diligent enough to read beforehand).

Imo, if more people tried reading in the first place, they'd uncover things like neurodivergence or learning disabilities and get the help they need to read more. But they don't, and it really is cuz they're lazy. We have physical copies at bookstores and libraries, pdfs, audiobooks, and lectures and explainers on youtube. There's even ML children's books. Atp, if you consider yourself left wing and don't engage with the material, it's on you for not finding a format that's best for you to engage with.
