They don’t know about TC69 thought

I’m so fucking tired of these egocentric smarmy pricks
Literacy and healthcare are the cornerstones of the socialist project. Our longest running group that meets regularly is our book club, which predates the existence of the site. Our most active members tend to be at least decently well-read in terms of communist theory. Even more if you expand to nerdy fiction.
I’ll bite.
I’m currently reading Inventing Reality by Michael Parenti. It’s an analysis of how, in capitalist societies, media companies consist of many stakeholders and natural social filters which influence the news to converge on simplified narrative versions of the truth which is biased in favor of capital. This process doesn’t need to happen through direct centralized conspiracy, but rather through interest convergence and socioeconomic in-group preference. It’s similar to Noam Chomsky’s work on the topic, but I prefer Parenti’s prose and structure.
I used to think this until I realized how many hours I spent reading and replying to long threads like this. This format is much more conducive to spreading falsehood than people recommending books.
There were people on r/t_d giving you book recommendations? I shudder at the thought.
The moment someone starts to recommend Julius Evola to you, that’s when you reach for your gun
I’ve given a couple fascist texts a go just for shits and giggles and they’re always incoherent nonsense. The idea of esoteric fascism has always struck me as redundant.
Funnily enough, the only people i’ve seen reference fascist theory were well read communists. I did the same thing and took a dive into some of their theory to kind of make sense of what they think, but even stuff like strasserism seems absolutely absurd in how its supposed to work.
A hallmark or fascist prose is extremely bad prose, they just lack the ability to produce anything enjoyable to read

Look, ScrewdriverFactory’s can be so hard to put together from scratch and there’s several different ways to do it depending on your use case, so we needed a central location to formalize that institutional knowledge.
