Today I will start "New Achilles" by Christian Cameron. I have high hopes as he never let me down so far. He is I think my favourite historical fiction novelist after the greats such as Waltarinand Graves.

Earlier I finished a non-fiction book called Producing Desire by Dror Zevi; it was about the evolution of gender relations and sexual life in the Ottoman Empire. Sounds niche but I recommend it.

Which parts of MLism do you find lacking or outdated in the 21st century? in c/leftistinfighting@lemmygrad.ml

Lafargue's "the right to be lazy" enlarges on this. I read it long time ago so don't remember his suggestion but the whole book is about your questions. Lafargue was Marx's son in law btw.

Many of the modern anticapitalists and marxists in the western world are aging out. Parenti is currently suffering from Dementia and Wolff is in his eighties and can't go on forever. Who comes next? in c/communism@lemmygrad.ml

Hi comrade, is something wrong with bad empanada? I watched a few of his and thought it was pretty neat. I am asking because you mention him together with vaush.
