Two Weeks (lemmy.ml)
 

Hey all, just joined this community and I'm hoping to share a couple of my poems here. This one I wrote over a decade ago. Here's the text:

Won’t you understand
Why I bit my lips
When I took your hand
And cherished you in small sips.
I’m distracted by the touch of your hair
Your scent and I rejoice in quick sighs
Here, a moment we could share
Here I’ll breathe in deep gorgeous eyes.
You smile beneath our chosen tree
Eyes lit up in a glimmering shine.
I’ll laugh forever in our awful glee
At last freed by burnt bridges and that ignored sign.
But cold memories and abandoned lives build a mass;
We’re taught to remember all is made of glass.

Family abolition has always been something a core component of the communist revolution. Clearly it's changed over the past few centuries. It's funny to see Marxist-Leninists decry talk about family abolition when Marx and Engels repeatedly state that the family would be abolished and replaced with new, expansive, liberatory kinship structures.

I don't know about your figures about how many families are 'good' or 'bad'. But ultimately I agree with the idea that youth liberation is both necessary for building a revolutionary movement and intrinsic to communism (or anti-market anarchism/socialism)

Mattick, Paul - Marx & Keynes: The Limits of the Mixed Economy (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/188338

Hello fellow readers and friends. I finished formatting the ebook for Paul Mattick Sr's book Marx and Keynes: The Limits of the Mixed Economy. I have below several links to the various formats on Mediafire and on the Marxists Internet Archive

For other books on a similar subject also see bit.ly/CommunistEPUBs and the Marxists Internet Archive.

Image Description:

A book cover featuring a black background. In pink text along the top is "Marx and Keynes: The Limits of the Mixed Economy" and along the bottom is "By Paul Mattick" and "Marxists Internet Archive". In the center are two black and white photos of John Maynard Keynes and Karl Marx arranged in such a way as to have them facing each other.

I'm curious why people decided to downvote.

V. I. Lenin's "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back" (lemmy.ml)
 

A treat for the Lenin fans among us.

Image Description:

It is a black portrait-oriented book cover. In the center there is a photograph of Lenin cropped so it shows only his face. He looks intently into the lens. In pink port lligat slab font at the top it reads 'One Step Forward, Two Steps Back' and right below that slightly smaller it reads 'The Crisis In Our Party.' At the bottom of the image it reads 'V. I. Lenin.'

Anarchist question from a 15 year old in c/anarchism@lemmy.ml
[–] Provinto@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 years ago

I'm an anarchist and I pretty much agree. I think that it's important to try to understand where your parents are coming from and why it is, exactly, they are attempting to forbid you from accessing a computer and what kind of behavior they think they're trying to deter.
