Hi, I just joined lemmygrad! I’ve been lurking here for a while. About me uhhhh… I really like music, anime, and talking to people in general.

Also, the big reason I wanted to make an account today is because I wanted to recommend some books by Suniti Kumar Ghosh that I’ve been reading and really enjoying recently. I highly recommend “Naxalbari: Before and After” and “The Tragic Partition of Bengal”, where you can learn things like how Gandhi was actually fascist and Gandhi’s “non-violence” movement was actually a tool used by the British imperialists (and India’s comprador bourgeoisie) to quell the rising anti-imperialist forces. (Suspiciously, Gandhi always seemed to be fine with violence whenever it was the imperialists doing it…)

One of my favorite parts about Ghosh is that they use so many quotes by members of the ruling class where the ruling class admits to their plans. It’s literally evil villain reveals evil plan so it’s basically irrefutable. Like Ghosh includes a quote by A. O. Hume literally explaining that the founding of the Indian National Congress was designed to “inoculate them [“the great lower middle classes”] with a mild and harmless form of political fever”… and there’s so many quotes like this in the book from British officials and their puppets that make it blatantly clear how Indian “independence” in 1947 didn’t liberate India at all.)

Anyways, my fangirling about Ghosh’s works aside, I’m excited to be here and to get to know you all!! :)

    HAH You caught the bait lol. I left it purposefully cut off so you would notice and correct me when I was trying to trick you and – (rambles on for 500 years until the Socialist Confederacy of America becomes a thing).

                well I live in America, so it is pretty bad up here; even besides that, I am not sure how much more my father will pressure me into getting a job (the one place he recommends is Publix… and it has some relations to Israel, even if I do not know if they directly deal with Israel, so I would rather not deal with that).

                  Yeah, I also live in America it’s really bad… and thinking about all of the complicity of working in any American company is really rough. I’m curious, are there other kinds of companies you’d be fine working at? Personally my plan is to continue with a research/academic route, so that’s also an option (although within academics there’s a lot of suspicious ties with defense and Israel and stuff so it’s rough to even find something fulfilling in academia)

                    Neh I have nothing (college was too much for my mental health), though I would like to work in a factory (it is simple, though it requires hard work) in an assembly line or something… maybe I am ignorant but I really cannot imagine trying to go to college again. Maybe some local place (which would not have Israel’s reach due to cost to enter that market) would be good.
