Food for thought! Our advice to comrades is: other forms of media can be great for introducing you to a subject or helping you get a quick insight, but they are not what you need for true development of your understanding. Try taking some time to read from a book every day. And when you do, use a pencil to help you concentrate and underline the parts that you feel are important or want to come back to. If you are listening to/watching a speech or presentation online, try sitting with a notebook and pen as if you were at a meeting. Give it your full attention, take notes on what is being said, look up references to back up important facts that are cited. In general, give up on 'keeping up' with the infinite informationshphere. Take in less, but take it in more deeply. Your life will become more interesting and your ability to contribute meaningfully to solving humanity's problems will grow.

Bit of light reading on a Saturday evening.

Stall up today outside the Bombed out church in Liverpool.

"It is the individualistic intellectuals who fear discipline and organization, and they would indeed remain outsude the ranks of the Party. But that was all to the good, for the party would be spared that influx of unstable elements, class, which had become particularly marked at that time, when the bourgeois democratic revolution was on the upgrade." - History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

The Morning Of The Eviction - A Closer Look. By Ren.

The correct communist position on the question of the liberation of Palestine has always been the one state solution. A democratic republic with equal rights for all and one law governing all. The right of return for the dispossessed Palestinian population must be part of its foundation. The Jewish population who wish to stay should be free to do so just they would be doing so as equal citizens in a republic with no claim to religious or ethno superiority and no ability to steal land. Some may stay, remember there have always been some Jews in Palestine, most won't. All those with a European or US passport would be on the first flight out of there if they were forced to give up their settler colonial privileges. So it's not a matter of deportations, denied the right to steal land, rape and kill at will a huge number will just quit and run home anyway. The ground for this is already being prepared in some ways by the bourgeois Zionists who are preparing escape routes for themselves in Cyprus and Argentina. They know that the one state solution will come soon.

'House & Factories' By Trevor Grimshaw 1971.

Britians largest food parcel provider reports over 2 million people using their service. That is just one charity! If the state truly cared about the health and wellbeing of workers it would not leave it to charities to feed those workers suffering food vulnerability. That's why we need a national network of British stolovayas. https://classconsciousnessproject.blog/2025/09/02/why-we-need-a-national-network-of-british-stolovayas/
