Well, I still need an actual photo of Charli after the fall of the western democracy* and late stage capitalism finally kicks the bucket. How else am I gonna remember that I once was a 365 Party Girl?

Aesthetics were the first thing that won me over to socialism. When I was a kid, I chanced to hear the Soviet national anthem used ironically in youtube video (likely a youtube-poop of which I was and still am fond.) I had never heard anything so beautiful, so powerful. I could not imagine a feeling more triumphant than that expressed in the chorus of a million voices singing out in red square.
I didn’t know anything about the Russian revolution, nor of socialism - all context, I learned in retrospect. But that first encounter stuck with me and served as a bulwark against the barrage of anti-communist propaganda the Florida Education System tried assailing me with.
Now, a decade and a half past that point, I’m a member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. And whenever I get whipped up into my feelings about that moment, I feverishly take to photoshop and try to make some propaganda of my own, hoping that it may stir up similar feelings in another.

😃Naomi Klein is smart AF and explains how our tech lords are tilting the world to fascism. A must read.

During these times that can feel so hopeless and disempowering, Milstein encourages us to collectively dream of the futures we can build together.
So much of what keeps us stuck is a lack of imagination: there is only a two-party system, only a patriarchy, only capitalism. Anything other than what already exists is discredited as utopian at best and dangerous at worst. But what if there was an alternative to our current atomized way of living? What if, instead, we (re)build rich and vibrant communities where we could not only survive but thrive? Try Anarchism for Life helps us to ask those very questions, so we can see where they may lead us.
Another world is possible

I heard this on a instagram reel posted by a friend and I can’t stop listening to this album. It’s beautiful, heavy, and reflective. If you like metal, this is a good one.
