  • Oliver Stone’s series “Untold History of the United States” really helped to open my eyes to the depravity of the US when I was first learning about socialist politics. It gets a little socdem at parts, but for the most part is just a really solid accounting of the US’s crimes in the 20th century. You should be able to find it streaming online, but pm me if you can’t.
    “My Brothers and Sisters in the North” is a good look at life in the DPRK, and not just in Pyongyang. This one’s on youtube.
    The Act of Killing is a very intense look into the perpetrators of the genocide in Indonesia in the 60s. I haven’t watched the follow-up “The Look of Silence”, but I’ve heard it’s good as well. I think these are on netflix, but pm me if you want.












  • yooooo I love this book! So much so I scanned it as a PDF and uploaded it to libgen hahaha. Having an EPUB is sick too!
    But yeah, this book made me feel so many different emotions, I had to put it down nearly every chapter. So much joy, awe, and inspiration, contrasted with so much anger and sadness that we (the west) destroyed this beautiful project. Strong is such an approachable writer and I appreciate her perspective a lot. This book really opened my eyes.
    One of her other books (although it’s not that long) The Stalin Era is also really good, and interesting as a historical perspective. She wrote it in the aftermath of the Secret Report Speech, and while most of that is debunked now, it’s interesting to see how pro-Soviet and pro-Stalin people dealt with the “revelations” at the time. Hahahah I could go on and on and on, but again, thank you for doing this and spreading the word of this book. It’s absolutely one of my favorites!
