[viscousmemories]

I read The People, No, by Thomas Frank last week and now I really wish there was a resurgence of the late 19th century People's Party. I've been unemployed for a few weeks but even for a few weeks prior to that I had done almost nothing 24x7 besides eat, sleep, and consume political content (two days ago was a whole day of Yanis Varoufakis), so I can safely say I am some undetermined variety of Marxist socialist now. I've always been vaguely anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist but I think I can articulate why now. Anyway it does all seem a bit precious to be getting so deeply into politics and economics at a time when the world is on the precipice of total destruction but so far it seems to be working better for me than binge watching Netflix shows.
