So, Max is a Boot that thinks it's a Salt

The "Black Book of Communism"  Is a pack of anti-semitic lies.  Most of the victims of communism were nazis.  All glory to the Soviet Union and all other socialist projects.  Imperialists in the Global North who want to criticize real revolutions can get fucked.

it's a world view in which some people are bad and some are good. and we are the good guys. no reflection on their role in destroying the lives of others.

criticizing the neocon imperial project isnt the only issue the supposed left in this country needs to set itself straight on. the more ground we surrender to the right, the more we lose out to them with the working class, the greater the danger

We talk Amber's new piece arguing the need to get behind Bernie. We also fantasize about what we'd do if WE were getting divorced from Jeff Bezos and end with another dark trip to Carcosa.
