“What distinguishes fascism from ordinary right-wing patriarchal autocracies is is the way it attempts to cultivate a revolutionary aura”

Sound familiar?

“Is fascism merely a dictatorial force in the service of capitalism? That may not be all it is, but that certainly is an important part of fascism‘s raison d‘être.“

The Cheeto and his minions co-opt nationalist rhetoric and militarism to channel discontent away from economic inequality and toward scapegoated groups. The Cheeto wants workers to remain divided and unable to organize effectively against exploitation.

History teaches us that all ruling elites try to portray themselves as the natural and durable social order, even ones that are in serious crisis, and that threaten to devour their environmental base in order to continually recreate their hierarchical structure of power and privilege.

Third World revolutionaries are branded as the enemies of stability.
“Stability” is a code word for a society in which privileged social
relations are securely entrenched. When popular forces mobilize
against privilege and wealth, this causes “instability,” which is judged
to be undesirable by U.S. policymakers and their faithful flacks in the
U.S. corporate media.

The Communist Manifesto | Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
Mehso-so

It's fine. At this point in history the Communist Manifesto is more of a novelty than anything else. Discovering that about a third of this plus-sized pamphlet is devoted to shit-talking other leftists really drove home that nothing in it was new or scary even at the time. The Communist Manifesto is, upon inspection, revealed as really nothing more than a single piece of a long running, much more widespread conversation.

This is a powerful tale about a boy named Jozef living in a war-torn world. As he struggles with fear and loss, Jozef learns the importance of storytelling as a way to cope with the horrors around him. The book beautifully combines adventure with deep emotions, showing how stories can help heal and give hope even in the darkest times. It's a touching read that encourages kids to find their own voice.

(2/2) Finally read this banger. Chapters 2 & 4 were on the additional course readings list for the CLR James seminar, but I decided to push through the whole thing since it was short enough & such a seminal revolutionary text.
