Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Lenin was relatively progressive on the matter of LGBT folk. Stalin? Not so much. (infosec.pub)

Really it's more of a conversation about Trotsky vs Stalin not Lenin.

But I'm looking at the USA right now and your theory about guns seems lacking.

I'm actually annoyed that those in the 2A club are no where to be seen right now

Hey, I'm at least as annoyed as you. I think the biggest thing between the US and gas chambers at the moment is a combination of MAGA incompetence and cowardice versus an armed populace, but the more this drags on, the more the "armed populace" part thoughts seem self-serving.

Personally, I've had 11+ years to get over caring about gun rights in whatever country I might move to, and boy howdey, you better believe I'm over it.
