The disregard for actually existing socialist states by the compatible left is what bothers me the most. They are usually always in western countries and are therefore in favour of the status quo whether directly or indirectly.

just like Harry Potter, nothing changed in the end. The liberal status quo

DPRK has not attacked or invaded other countries. This can’t even be charitably considered a comparison because the U.S Empire has killed millions and induced suffering for centuries now.

Thank you, I agree on the environment having an importance. From this thread, I will start by actively making notes and if possible, try reading it away from electronics. (If I manage to either get the books physically or get a laptop)

A ruler might be a good idea, I have a bunch of books in .pdf formats. Are there any good software that is good for reading these? On a desktop.

That’s a good idea of doing it. I’ll try doing that.

Yes I do… hmm…

What are some good practices when reading? When I read, it takes a while. I’ve had times where I read a page up to 3-4 times before registering it and I don’t know why. I feel like I am not doing something right.
