19 June 2026. I am unsure whether I will publish this article, which will be a repetition of themes bemused so many other times upon in this Netlog. Howbeit, I feel that I must speak what I will. The Culture Question, that which I care deepest about, weighs heavily gainst my mind. It is my thought that high culture, the high cultural outlook, or that collective system of a noble, pains-takingly time-shapen form of repute which the Deutsch intelligentsia and I refer to simply

10 June 2026. The tributary article for the death of our gross and fearless comrade Michael Parenti has been delayed for far too long. It is time that Thoughts of a Comrade kneel before the sarcophagus of this hero of the whole proletarian Workfolk. For whilst the banks are made of marble with brass trimmings and stucco ornaments, the plain concrete of Comrade Parenti's sarcophagus is lavishly adorned with memories and learnings, the ornament in memoriam of those he inspired

21 May 2026. My dear comrades, there has been yet another cause for celebration of late. For on the twenty-seventh of April, comrades of many parties, a plural width, gathered together in this new body of the true International. This is a wondrous event in the history of the Left, in Thoughts of a Comrade's estimation. The so-called ,,Socialist International'' has failed to maintain even a reputation so akin to the Second International's at its end. That is how depraved mode

13 May 2026. Comrades— party, movement, independent —front-line fighters, rigourous theorists, responsible bureaucrats, cultural curator-developers, friends; to-day is the eighty-fifth anniversary commemorating the glorious and bitter victory over fascism in the Great Patriotic War Against Fascism. There is not much to say which has not already been said in a much better manner. We remember in wondersheen recollection the inestimable struggle for the universal proletariat's

3 May 2026. Another happy May Day comrades. Apologies for the delay in publishing this address. Illness has finally sufficiently receded to return to standard procedure. It must be said that the lack of May Day greetings, particularly in light of the recently announced programmes of the Two Nevers, is a cause for concern, if it is not patently disturbing to witness. That some comrades feel a simple acknowledgement of 'you too, comrade' in response to a 'happy May Day' is be

30 April 2026. Comrades, as is well-known, US liberalism is entering a profound mode of unresolving crisis. One of the clearest examples of this crisis-driven emergency, as Peter Turchin has correctly pointed to, is the rise of the cancellation-purge and the gruesome willingness of both the counter-elites (in our case, party and organisation leadership) and the credentialed activists (our cadres and independent comrades) to engage in campaigns of denunciation and total socia

11 March 2026. Comrades, chronicling the history of Thoughts of a Comrade for its five-year anniversary, along with reading the timeless wisdom of Comrade Mao and Comrade Kalinin, has given me the inspiration to compose another musings article. These ones require a certain state of mind to write, I have found. The topics will be four: gemeanship, dogmatism, political education, and the Three Toos, each topic being somewhat connected to the next. What sets us, as a politica

22 February 2026. Notice: this article will be a curt selected and reworked rendering of the contents in the article 'Observations on the Dangers of Vanguardism, Liberalism (Anti-Culture), and Anti-Philosophicalism Which the Four Nosts and Stroikas Seek to Rectify'. If one wishes to find a deeper explanation of any point, please visit and read the respective section in that article ( here ). There is a table of contents near the beginning of that article, after the three int

9 February 2026. Preface This article itself was somewhat experimental in nature. In the stead of a propagandical call to arms or denunciation of empire, which may be found authored by any Marxist (outside the odd exception of Chris Cutrone), TOAC decided to explore a new theoretical manner of speaking. Why ought we to surrender the clinic and psychology to mistopian liberal imperialists, who care little for society's general collective health? If Left-Wing communism is mere

22 January 2026. Comrades, we have arrived at the first year's completion in the project of Reform. In this article, I will deliver some of the lessons learned: which objectives were met successfully, which remain unmet, and what potential problems may have caused it to be so, how and where these impeded us. The article may not be the longest or the most lively, but it is only Year One, and therefore matters are not yet structured as they ought soon to be. Finally, do note t
