If I’m Crazy by Amigo the Devil (lyrics)

“[…] we are in love. He tenderly / gouges out my eyes.”

Kim Fu, ‘Lifecycle of the Mole-Woman’, from How Festive the Ambulance (via)

Jean-Paul Sartre, from No Exit: And Three Other Plays; “No Exit” (via)

(they had made love in every possible way, or so they believed, and they theorized about new ways but came up only with death)

Roberto Bolaño, from ‘2666’, tr. Natasha Wimmer (via)

Strike me down. You’ve won. I’ve lived my whole wretched life at your mercy, yours alone, and God knows I deserve to die at your hand. You are my only friend. I am undone without you.

Tamsyn Muir, The Locked Tomb: Gideon the Ninth (via)

Honestly if your response to “I dont have many skills that would be useful in a post-capitalist society” is “so I guess I’ll just be pursuing my intellectual hobbies as my contribution to my community” instead of “so I guess I’ll be doing dishes in the cafeteria/janitorial work/manual labor” you should really reconsider how you come at the very concept of work and society as a leftist. Is socialism no longer appealing if you have to do the work you previously took for granted? Is the liberation of the proletariat not worth it if you have to contribute something besides your dream job in academia or leading support groups? Are you really “too good” for “that type” of work, even if it is for a world where no one starves?

we will still have hobbies/run d&d/learn other languages under socialism - in fact, we would likely have far more time to pursue them than under capitalism - but when we think of our future labor, we ought to consider the “menial” tasks that keep society running; loading boxes onto trucks, cooking in a factory kitchen, packaging medical supplies for distribution, building new homes as a worker and not an architect. these jobs will never disappear, and to assume that someone else will do them while you lead workshops or go to school to become a trained professional is to announce your continuing loyalty to petite bourgeois ethics. The dream of socialism is not a fantasy where you continue to do the exact same thing you want to do under capitalism, but now with a clear conscience about it. It’s to build a better world as one global movement, to lift up the most oppressed and downtrodden from the muck; a task which requires, above all else, heavy and thankless work that we must be prepared and happy to undertake if we ever hope to succeed.
