I should do more research before insulting people

2018-05-07 03:42:48 UTC  

Literally who

2018-05-07 03:42:58 UTC  

one time i made a really cool lego airplane when i was 12

2018-05-07 03:43:11 UTC  

I was wrong about communism

2018-05-07 03:43:15 UTC  

Maybe it does work

2018-05-07 03:43:26 UTC  

it was pretty impressive, i gotta say

2018-05-07 03:43:32 UTC  

Yeah

2018-05-07 03:43:34 UTC  

Hell yeah

2018-05-07 03:43:39 UTC  

That's only the volumes that have been published thus far. There are about 49 more. Marx was prolific af.

I mean how else would the USSR modernize so quickly

2018-05-07 03:43:57 UTC  

There literally no other way

2018-05-07 03:44:02 UTC  

Engels deserves credit as well.

2018-05-07 03:44:10 UTC  

engels is hella underrated

2018-05-07 03:44:17 UTC  

and i'm not even really a marxist

2018-05-07 03:44:40 UTC  

Gotta give him props for his contribution. He was very humble and while admittedly not on the same level as Marx, I will say that he's close. They were a deadly duo for sure.

2018-05-07 03:44:42 UTC  

he's responsible for me understanding dialectics

2018-05-07 03:44:47 UTC  

Yeah

2018-05-07 03:44:59 UTC  

Such bravery to stand up to the 1%

I wish i could live in the USSR instead of capitalist USA

2018-05-07 03:46:14 UTC  

looks like we're gonna have to go through the whole routine, boys

2018-05-07 03:46:16 UTC  

*sigh*

2018-05-07 03:47:08 UTC  

@mcstubbs His book "Anti-Duhring" is phenomenal. It's one of my favorite Marxist books.

2018-05-07 03:47:22 UTC  

it's amazing

2018-05-07 03:48:07 UTC  

I actually have a hardbound copy that was produced in the USSR. Mint condition and with a beautiful book ribbon attached.

2018-05-07 03:48:53 UTC  

i'm jealous

2018-05-07 03:49:16 UTC  

literally all of my intellectual books are paperback penguin classics or barnes and noble classics

2018-05-07 03:49:41 UTC  

my godfather has an original spanish inquisitor's manual, which is neat

2018-05-07 03:50:17 UTC  

@mcstubbs I have quite a few penguin paperbacks and some b&n classics. They're great for taking notes in and what not.

2018-05-07 03:50:50 UTC  

Did you embrace the glory of communism after reading Engels?

2018-05-07 03:50:51 UTC  

yeah, my copies of the prince and republic are marked to hell

2018-05-07 03:50:58 UTC  

Penguin is for plebs

2018-05-07 03:51:04 UTC  

but i've always been jealous of really, really nice books

2018-05-07 03:51:05 UTC  

how good is anti-duhring for toilet paper or fire starter? probably not too good for that, right? because they are dry scratchy nasty ass books

2018-05-07 03:51:23 UTC  

i have a couple of nice military history books

2018-05-07 03:52:36 UTC  

or maybe i could use it for food if it doesn't make me sick?

2018-05-07 03:52:56 UTC  

@mcstubbs Yeah, I'm something of a bibliophile. I love a fanciful hardcover. I have a vintage, pocket-sized abridged version of Das Kapital. So sexy.

2018-05-07 03:53:26 UTC  

@BlepTheFartingCat That would be a waste of a brilliant book.

2018-05-07 03:53:56 UTC  

why would it be a waste? it's communist, so it's not brilliant at all
