Apparently, there is anime about Karl Marx now (from China)

Oh, well, not watched it (I prefer TEXT) but interesting development none the less .... (I recall at least some early anime fans in USA become anime fans because they wanted SERIOUS cartoons /other/outside view on some issues .... today anime watching is not sign of you being actively forward looking, I'm afraid ... but may be it can be made so again)

("Unofficial English description: A story about Karl Marx and his controversial love for Jenny, his almost-missed friendship with Engels, the evolution of his philosophy, his world-changing thoughts about political economy and his contribution for working class revolution.")

Also read yesterday
"A fresh look at Lenin - Andy Brown" - probably written when USSR still was the thing, BUT STILL RELEVANT, imho. (because single party IS single point of failure, cybernetically-speaking)

"1871: The Paris Commune" - short historical reminder ... I don't know if modern city can be run like this (more communication/IT, but also much more complex infrastructure), and end was bloody ... But worth looking at and reasking those questions.

"On the Forty-Fifth Anniversary of the Founding of the CWO" - very interesting and telling political nonfiction ...I'm a bit too pessimistic about Global Revoluttion (working when it comes to actual improvements in living conditions for now and future, with some safeguards about slipping back), but more ppl think about it - more it become constructive dream, and not just dream, IMO.
