When I checked out the wiki entry for it, it looks like there was a response written to it. This Gorter dude. http://www.marxists.org/archive/gorter/1920/open-letter/index.htm
Wondering if there are any responses to that that are written, I checked out his work (Open Letter to Comrade Lenin) and it talks a lot about there being different circumstances with peasants/proletariat in Russia than there are in Western Europe, so he seems to come at it from a materialist perspective, but I haven't read a lot of it and wondered what people here thought.

Goodnight.
lmao... great video.
Make Money Fun
Jaiya couldn't engage with money, because it was so unpleasant; instead, she needed to find a way to make it fun.
"I saw an article about how more sex can lead to higher wages, so I was curious whether sex could create an atmosphere of fun around my finances," she says.

During the 90-day challenge, Jaiya had an orgasm every day, and as she climaxed, she thought about opulence to train herself to be comfortable with having wealth.
"I was learning to view money not as evil but as a lover," she said. "Sex feeds me, and money feeds me, too. Literally."

NoFreeWill posted:i read foundation pit and chevengur and a collection of platonov short stories (best imo) and now I'm reading Seeing Like a State by Jamse Scott (cool anarchist historian) which is all about how Socialism is Fail due to High Modernism being bad (even if non-socialists use it too) and the state trying to control it's population through cadastral surveys, forced resettlement, and data collection/statistical modelling/planning. it's nowhere near as good as The Art of Not Being Governed which I read earlier by the same dude and is about how people resist state incorporation and relations between states, people, and ecology/geography in SE Asia.
had to read that for an urban geography class. we started with David Harvey in week 1 and then the field degenerated into a bunch of bourgeois apologists with nothing to say. my response papers became increasingly bitter. anyway James Scott sucks and 'high modernism' is an even less coherent version of totalitarianism
walkinginonit posted:BHPN have you read Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism? I read it a few years ago when I was a liberal and I want to reread it soon now that I'm an apologist for Totalitarianism
I read Eichmann in Jerusalem in college for a philosophy class. It was horrible even when I was a liberal. Our dumbass professor decided to pair it with Nietzsche. And that man has a PhD...
I'm sure it would be amusing to read but I have so many books I actually want to read on backlog I'll never do it. Do an LF report

it reminds me that one day i would like to have a satellite dish so i can blind scan all the tv satellites in my region. you can get all the asian and arab stuff here. it would be fun. ive been playing around with iptv and its cool watching all the international channels. but it would be nice to just pick up proper satellite feeds.
