Welcome!
No probs. 9mm did the same for me
Voila. Apply and you should be let in.
I'll ask DNZ.
Remember what I said in the compliments thread? It applies here.
"[13th August 2013 22:56] Comrade Dracula : Seeing it in this state, I - a lurker of a noble bloodline - decided that it, with it's lack of activity, would make for a perfect dwelling place for one such as I. With my entrance, the idyll of this place was restored. There has been a minor drama shortly after I moved in, however, as one by the name of Brutus invaded and desecrated this place once more. However, I fended off this invasion with my (pseudo-) impressive array of (mostly verbal) attacks." Yeah... Sorry about that
Althusser has a number of interesting ideas, in Lenin and Philosophy chiefly, but his structuralism gets the better of him at times (such as the crucial question of the state), and his style is irritatingly French. Mao's On Contradiction is good. I would also recommend Afanasyev, the History of Soviet Philosophy.
The most extensive work on dialectics I have read was by Spirkin (Dialectical Materialism, the whole work is reproduced on the MIA, which is how I found it) - it was a bit schematic, but mostly alright - and several articles by Healy and Slaughter - which are utter rubbish. I learned dialectics, so to speak (the process is far from over!), chiefly by reading works in which the materialist dialectics is applied to some concrete problem - Fok's article in Pod Znamenem Marksizma (I don't know if it's online), discussing the interpretation of quantum mechanics from a dialectical materialist standpoint is something I would particularly recommend if you're familiar with modern physics. Omelyanovsky as well. Vygotsky's work - again, most of it is on the MIA - is also highly dialectical, so to speak, but it can be too subtle at times, at least for me.
By the time we found Stalin, after purging all of his associates and allies, he was cowering in the corner of his dacha, in his own, stale, urine. We blew his dacha up with so much TNT that Lenin came back to life, after having been in a coma. With all of eastern Europe leaderless, the workers finally ran their countries via councils. Upon hearing the news of the purges and Stalin's death Mao shit himself so hard that it provided fertiliser for china for 2 centuries. This changed history by averting China's famine. So, it all worked out for the best
It is done comrade.
