Without any particular order: Lemmy, Mastodon, Bookwyrm.

Just today I finished reading ‘Now’ by El Comité Invisible (The Invisible Committee). Incredible. In parts, better than ‘The Coming Insurrection,’ although I would say the first part of that book is excellent, unsurpassable.

I am loving it. It is written in a very poetic language and really makes you reflect. In my case, it also generates a nihilistic feeling towards society and the possibility of change. It is a call to insurrection; it shows you, in an aesthetic and philosophical way, that there is no other way out but rebellion.

I’m currently reading “The Coming Insurrection” by “The Invisible Committee”

According to the book “Anatomy of an Epidemic” SSRIs (antidepressants) improve patient symptoms slightly in the short term compared to those who are not medicated. However, in the long term:

1. They do not solve the problem of anxiety/depression at the symptomatic level.

2. They hinder the patient’s recovery and turn them into a chronic depressive or anxious individual.

In my experience, since I started taking SSRIs, I have been having more panic attacks, even though initially, about 5 years ago, they seemed to improve my symptoms of social anxiety and sadness.

At the moment, I am still reading “Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party” by Agustín Guillamón. Additionally, I have started “Anatomy of an Epidemic” by Robert Whitaker, which critiques the solutions that current psychiatry proposes in Western societies; it specifically focuses on the United States.

Now I am reading ‘Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party’ by Agustín Guillamón. I recently finished ‘What Is to Be Done?’ by Lenin.

Try “El túnel” by Ernesto Sabato. As far as I remember, it doesn’t have a very complex vocabulary. However, the story it tells has a message that can be analyzed from somewhat more complex perspectives.

I would just like to remind you of the following sentence from Karl Marx: ‘The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution.’

The material conditions of capitalism will evolve towards a state in which the contradictions between classes are reflected with high intensity. The middle classes tend to proletarianization, due to the concentration of capital in the hands of a few bourgeois and to competitiveness. We must create class consciousness so that when the time comes, if we have done a good job, we can reap the fruits and finally establish socialism. This means pointing out the causes and origins of injustices, always proposing a political solution.

Me too. I started smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol until I got sick with schizophrenia; it was then that I had to stop using cannabis. Now I occasionally drink beer; but above all, I consume a lot of caffeine, in my case in the form of energy drinks.
