Oh, thanks! You're a good poster too, and I remembered you from the Revolutionary leftism book group group for beginners, which is why I thought about you when we were having a reading group for Capital. I'm sending along a friend request any minute

RevLeft is such a distraction, Ive found it on nigh on impossible to work at home since I discovered the site.

Not too bad, just returned to school today, cannot wait for these last few weeks to go, I finish school at the end of may. Hows things with you?

Yeah, I'm in high school.

Low opinion. I'm moving more towards partyism, and a one-party system should be fine so long as said party is a movement. The one-party system has the advantage of being more efficient and centralized; but if it is construed as a party-movement, then it also has the advantage of retaining a democratic structure like councils.

In the October Revolution, the councils were too inefficient to really do much, maybe that might be different now but I don't think that is necessarily the case when you have atomized units operating in isolation.

I read part one of the German Ideology yesterday. It was very interesting. It makes me feel better I'm not the only one who hasn't started Capital yet. I think most of the others have started.

As am I. It should be fun. Have you started reading it?

Comrade, I haven't forgotten about our 'The German ideology' discussion, but maybe it'd be best to postpone it in light of the upcoming discussion of Capital in the Roosterism group?
