Morning Comrades.

Earlier this week we celebrated Alexandra Kollontai’s birthday and admittedly, the more time I spend with her work, both politically and in philosophy the more I find her contributions to our revolution invaluable. Still somewhat unheard of, her work is as important, progressive and humanistic as those giants of secondary Marxist literature and praxis we are all to aware of. Especially in light of the very real possibility that the US’ hubris at the end of their arrogance and empire will throw us all into world war 3, we will go back to one of Kollontai’s most prominent works, “Who Needs The War?”

A few bits and pieces before we get into it - I am taking next week off from writing as I am going on holiday for my birthday. I am certain everyone will do just fine without me for that week but just so that everyone knows.

Also, lest we forget, new tunes, for those that didn’t catch this on Monday.
