Working through Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti, and holy fuck is it a great book.
Tried to find Lenin in a bookstore, they did not have Lenin. But they had an old ass copy of “Lenin for beginners” which I devoured in a day, holy shit such a good intro to Leninism for an ADHD riddled dumbass like me.

OOC: I started Parable of the Sower.
How is it?! I have heard Alyson from Red Menace recommend it so that piqued my interest.
Good so far, but in a depressing way. The book starts in 2024 after a multi-decade series of economic and ecological disasters has left the US a hellscape of horrifically violent poverty surrounding a few walled neighborhoods. Real uplifting stuff.
