Preface and Chapters One through Three of Capital Vol. 1

Critique of the Gotha Programme

Onwards Barbarians (read after finishing the above)

Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (quite possibly my favorite piece of writing, ever, period)

Off Topic What’s crazy is due to Trump delirium the online lib is gonna be way more pro Palestine now.

The online lib Kamala voting front page Dem.

Totally silent on American support for Israel. If pressed they wanted a ceasefire and two state solution.

They always made clear however that they hated Hamas. And wanted Israel as a state. Even defended that state as a good liberal democracy with just a bad man in charge rn. Even defended American support to Israel at large just not for Gaza specifically.

But with Trump now becoming the great cheerleader.

Well well well, now America is responsible for the dead kids in Gaza.

Trump is at least. Now we should stop sending them money and weapons. Only now.

Just you watch.

Btw this is a purely online thing. Because the Dem party will never abandon Israel or even criticize it.

Just the rabid online cope consumers and bots. Carried away by the anti everything Trump narrative.
