i finished Black Marxism by Cedric Robinson recently, and really enjoyed it. it's a pretty good follow up to Settlers if you're interested in the reactions to the dynamics described there that various black radicals had, especially in terms of how they related to the mainstream (aka settler-oriented) Marxist left. Robinson isn't particularly sympathetic to the USSR but he's fairly direct about how the Soviet policy towards black liberation was definitely better before khrushchev.

Conic Goat i want to see the USSR poems because literally every contemporary poet from the United States is the son of Jeanette Goswick, third-generation paintress and inventor of the brain whip, and the daughter of Totino Scucello Rossi, Lombard real estate marquis. Rossi is thrice-time coxswain for DDV Peligro and previously co-founded Yachty-Copter with Hollywood white slaver Femshep Orbo.[4][5]

In the fall of 2010 at Westside Middle School in Memphis, Tennessee, the policy on handling sagging pants is for students to pull them up or get "Urkeled", a reference to the character Steve Urkel of the 1990s television show Family Matters. In this practice, teachers would pull their pants up and attach them there using zip ties. Students would also have their photo taken and posted on a board in the hallway, for all of their classmates to see. In an interview with WMC-TV, Principal Bobby White stated that the general idea is to fight pop culture with pop culture. One teacher at the school claimed to have "Urkeled" up to 80 students per week, although after five weeks students got the message, and the number dropped to 18.

the ideology is detestable and typical writerly booj "change yourself thru psychedelics" + Terrence McKenna nonsense. but that isn't to say "don't read it", it has a lot of entertainment value

I think even a phone camera might produce good enough results for OCR, or at least for other people to help you transcribe. I could even do the Russian for you!

thank you for the offer. i will probably continue transcribing myself this one, but there are some other things here i will take shit cameraphone photos of. for example i have more vietnamese communist writings and "A New Britannia" by Humphrey McQueen which is basically an australian Settlers (but not quite as comprehensive). all these things deserve to be online and free eventually...

O.Ü.: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think what you say is China still enjoys a sort of sovereignty thanks to the legacy of Mao era. So, how do you evaluate the role of foreign direct investments (FDIs) in today’s China? Because FDIs have long been considered as an important driving force of China’s rapid GDP growth in post-Mao era.

F.E.: I think this view is really far-fetched. I mean, the reality is far from that. FDIs really play some role in China, but I think many scholars just overplay that. What China actually does is stealing technology. Pirating is the biggest advantage of China. The reason that China develops much faster than other Third World countries is when you have a sovereign economic base, military sovereignty and political sovereignty, copying is much faster than innovating. So you can do a leap forward; you can take the shortcut. Instead of starting with the landlines, you can go straight to mobile. Instead of starting with the VCRs, you can go straight to VCD or DVD recorders. Even Chinese film industry totally depends on pirating Hollywood movies today.

Let me clarify my point with examples: McDonald’s, for example, came in. Chinese learned from that. Today, Chinese fast-food industry kicks the ass of McDonald’s. Or FedEx came in. Now, it has already been beaten by Chinese express delivery companies. The examples can be multiplied. But the thing is, what makes these possible is that you have a sovereign control over the key sectors in your country.

“Welcome to the world of strategic analysis,” Ivan Selin used to tell his team during the Sixties, “where we program weapons that don’t work to meet threats that don’t exist.” Selin, who would spend the following decades as a powerful behind-the-scenes player in the Washington mandarinate, was then the director of the Strategic Forces Division in the Pentagon’s Office of Systems Analysis....

“OK,” wrote Jeffrey Carr, the CEO of cybersecurity firm Taia Global, in a derisive blog post on the case. “Raise your hand if you think that a GRU or FSB officer would add Iron Felix’s name to the metadata of a stolen document before he released it to the world while pretending to be a Romanian hacker.” As Carr, a rare skeptic regarding the official line on the hacks, explained to me, “They’re basically saying that the Russian intelligence services are completely inept. That one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing, that they have no concern about using a free Russian email account or a Russian server that has already been known to be affiliated with cybercrime. This makes them sound like the Keystone Cops. Then, in the same breath, they’ll say how sophisticated Russia’s cyberwarfare capabilities are.”
