Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that chair over there. Take off your shoes, please. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at #internationale:genzedong.org.

When I was big on learning fascism, my brother bought me a book entitled “Fascism” something something by some former Secretary of State (a woman, I think under Clinton?).

But I’ve always thought about picking it up for the same reason, to get into the mine of a neoliberal ruling class ghoul.
