On the Third of February Two-Thousand-and-Twenty-One (15 Pluviôse CCXXIX), a comrade made a publication, and posted his Blackshirts and Reds Notes up to page thirty-five. It is remarkable in hindsight, the path this comrade went on, which has become the legacy of the Thoughts of a Comrade Netlog Thought he had been a communist of one sort or another for five years prior to 2021, he was admittedly not well-learned in any discipline of study or craft, nor even in his own ideology. This Netlog should change that, for ever.

I. Truth Through Adversity; Revolution Through Facts, 2021

We might, in the retrospective of history, begin this article as the first one ended:

'To end: "stop shaking the tyrant's bloody robe in my face, or I will believe that you wish to put Rome in chains" —Citizen Maximilien Robespierre.

What should happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There should permeate the blackest reaction in all countries, the working class and oppressed folks should be seized by the throat, and communism should be lost" —Comrade J V Stalin'.

How prescient this came to be! For right after the creation of this new publication was discovered by the leadership of particular idealist world-views, as they did not bother looking into it for the longest time, despite a comradely invitation to investigate being immediately extended, said leadership ,,cautioned'' dissuasion. This comrade had the bloody robe of stale dogmatism shook at him, and eventually, though thankfully quite short-lived, had launched at him something of a campaign against Thoughts of a Comrade. In light of this, it is a possibility that the leadership set up its own web-log in a fit of jealous rivalry as a counter-voice to TOAC.

Yet truth is always revealed through adversity, as it were. 'Ante-Socialism' not only proved itself to merely be a propagator of pseudo-Left anti-communism in a pseudo-inquisitive dogmatic wrapper, but proved itself a completely unserious venture. Ante-Socialism closed down after two months, publishing a single article of across three or four posts; this, the organ of the leadership which accused TOAC of 'unserious nonsense'. Our uncomradely competitor could not make it to five months, let alone TOAC's present mile-stone of five years, and counting as we continue the expansion of our study amongst the Red Stars.

Work in Progress, come back later.
