Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism by V.I. Lenin, and

An Introduction To Marxist Economic Theory by Ernest Mandel.

Although I’ve read lots of excerpts and essays in ML literature, it happens that I never touched some of the most basic and influential works, especially in economics and political economy. I find Ernest Mandel’s introduction to be quite accessible and comprehensible. My goal is to take on Das Kapital eventually.

It is still considered complicity in violating humanitarian law.

If he’s wealthy then he has a lot of assets which can serve as a guarantee for the creditor.

I’ve read Mason & Dixon in the past, and I am currently in the midst of reading Gravity’s Rainbow. The most consistent theme in GR has been paranoia and schizoid tendency, present with many characters. There’s also a lot of mention of Theys and Thems.

I have a friend who uses it religiously, and I found out they would sometimes sneak pictures of people around them, including me. Totally uncool behavior!

I’m sure that Gorillas are by nature chill and peaceful, but put in a life or death situation may require them to defend themselves, no? They do have the mass.

Do you think they would be able to defeat it with their bare fists?

You thought Lemmy’s co-founder and main developer is a bot? Lmao

Azazeel by Youssef Ziedan. It’s a tale set in 5th-century Egypt and the Levant, following a coptic monk’s journey amidst the theological controversies of the early Christian curch. Apart from the protagonist (and his devilish visitor) I think all the characters are historically real as well as for the events. It’s a very interesting period during which Christians, Jews and Atheists coexisted, although perturbently.

I am reading Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. Progress isn’t as smooth as with M&D but there is enough time for me to get used to the style and prose.

For all its often noted defects and problems, the American university—and mine, Columbia, in particular—is still one of the few remaining places in the United States where reflection and study can take place in an almost-utopian fashion.

This is what Edward Said wrote in the 70’s. Aged like milk

The admins are principled Marxists so they wouldn’t sell out or concede without a fight.

Oh, didn’t know that. Thanks.

This reads like a joke with an unhinged punchline. Totally insane behaviour.

That’s a .world issue I feel.

Oh no! No downloads, just recommendations.

It was working right before I linked it!!

It’s a host issue, we gotta wait until it’s resolved. But I do recommend visiting it, it’s better than anything AI can offer. Anyways, enjoy your read.

Edit: it should be working now.

Now that you mention it, I don’t recall reading any horror books by Arab authors. Perhaps it is not as preponderant as a genre there (or maybe I just don’t read enough modern works). I notice that the most common genre is historical fiction (incidentally my favourite). Have you checked goodreads listopias?

Edit: I remembered about this site someone linked to on lemmy before, called kotobli. Maybe this helps.

There used to be a linux repo for installing teams but they recently removed it. Now you’re forced to use the shitty excuse of a PWA.

It is important not to estrange the people, no matter how deluded they are. This is a product of the hegemonic order.
