you know haha funny 5 person book club, selling papers, marxists.org
but if we are in the “dark age” of leftism currently are they the equivalent of Irish monks copying ancient Marxist texts for safekeeping?
maybe those 5 person book clubs are monastic circles with complex scholarly initiation rites
those papers, well somebody has got to retain the skills to publish physical media
and marxists.org is basically the marxism library of alexandria
Medieval life hack for self sufficiency: all you need is a simple robe, a vegetable garden, a modest lifestyle, discipline and community, a constant stream of large sums of money for taking in third born sons of aristocrats, high taxes paid to you, being a landlord over large areas of fertil land and of course literally owning the poor peasants who live there and do backbreaking labor for you. Actually, scratch the modest lifestyle.
