10 October 2026. 'And who gives the order? You, or the Party!' —A Bureaucrat Rebukes the Leader Prefatory Addendum Our previous article [this one herein] regarding the chairmanship of the American Communist Party was a correct though uncomfortable piece. But why was it, as we say, uncomfortable? Of course, some of the discomfort was of an internal nature. We felt ourselves very close to violating the ghost of Reform, for instance simply by covering the status of a fellow par

25 September 2026. Link to the video being commented upon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFStK8NVJeg Note: we thought about renaming this to a commentary, since it is perhaps a bit more substantial than a few mere 'notes' on this video, but have decided, for the time being, that videos can not qualify as having commentaries to them. Cultural degeneracy begins with a drop of irony or carelessness, to soon drown all that is high and virtuous neath a sludge wave of decrepit st

16 September 2026. A warning: this qualifies as a (curt) typestream, since I did not write any thing down after I watched it, but I did wish to say something, ere I forget it all. My comrade did not watch it with us, so this is my personal view, rather than that of Thoughts of a Comrade. The conclusion is that I thoroughly enjoyed every part with the hideous exception of the end of Day I, and the beginning of Day II. Comrade Khrachvik, Comrade Garrido, Comrade Ozmun, and the

14 September 2026. Comrades, we have a confession of which we may nay further preclude its revelation. The confession has a shameful or publicly disaffecting element to it, at least it will for many Leftists, particularly our fellow 'professional' Leninists. As announced in our previous post, we were for a time till of late made unable to publish any articles. But, whilst this is indeed predominantly true, what if there were to be a deeper failing undisclosed, which needs b

13 August 2026. The short story is that there was recently an accident involving the Netlog's main desktop. As our dear comrades can see, this situation has been rectified (well, as far as Thoughts of a Comrade is concerned, at least). We, of course, apologise for the barren month of July, and can assure comrades that August's publication quota is certainly slated to be fulfilled. The articles written for July will maintain their priority of publication, so expect these to b

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
