They are a Trot publication but I probably shouldn’t dismiss them outright for that lol

Update 2: It’s coming along quite nicely, I got all the foundational essentials and whatnot. I’m finding it’s not that hard to convert html files to ebooks but it is tedious so maybe I can automate it somehow.

here is a sneak peak!

UPDATE: I am in the process of ripping marxists.org and processing it into a neat file structure.

I remember back when I thought that sounded profound.

Breadtube, DSA, Bernie Sander, AOC. All of there far from proper socialism, but they do a lot of good work radicalizing liberals. I first learned of Mao and Lenin not being the devil at DSA from some of the tankier members. Even if Breadtubers are Libs, surely they are less unsufferable then if they had remained Hillary Clinton fans or whatever.

A little funky calling people just “queers”, that’s a good question. It’s a bit like calling autistic people “autists” or black people “blacks”, it can sound a bit dehumanizing. “Queer people” is better, that would have been a good point to make.

In my experience, most of the queer/LGBT community is fine with either term. In my experience with other queer people, the only people I’ve ever encountered that didn’t like the term queer were older queer folk. I would imagine due to the fact that they lived before the term was reclaimed. This isn’t my idea or anything, in our community queer has very widely been adopted, especially by queer comrades. Obviously I really want people to get used to “queer” and not see it as offensive at all, but I suppose when in doubt us LGBT. But, no, I don’t think if you mention “Queer people” anyone in the queer community would be offended.
