If you like what I do and you want to help me keep doing it while I drag myself through college, you can toss a buck my way on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/comradedrew Everything I write stays free. But every donation buys me a few more hours to breathe, read, think, write, and keep this whole thing going.

If the ruling class didn’t fear you, they wouldn’t spend this much money convincing you to fear yourself.

I don’t want left and right to reconcile. I want the exploited to wake up.

Get to go with a college classmate to a Young Democrats of Michigan conference tomorrow in Lansing. Maybe I can convince some of the college kids to join the good fight…off the record, of course. Get to get my lib on 🤭

People say socialism is unrealistic. I say infinite growth on a finite planet is a fairy tale for adults.

Just made this for my . . . interpersonal communication class. I'll update when I receive my grade 👍

Got in trouble for standing up to that Republican candidate from last week. I was told it was poor behavior as someone who represents the organization. I DO NOT represent the college or the paper. I represent myself 100% of the time in accordance with college and organizational guidelines.

At what point do you stop giving someone the benefit of the doubt? youtube.com/post/UgkxVmE...

I'm bored and I have free time in the newsroom. What should I write?

It is good to be a leftist. It is good to be left wing. Please repost and get this out there.

Came in the mail today. First publisher I've seen that has them in English. And they are publishing all 16 volumes. Super exciting as these materials have been out of print for a long long time.

Yesterday, I had to cover a Republican candidate coming to the school to speak with the Republican club. After everyone asks their questions, he looks at me and asks if I have anything to ask and then he asked my political views. I say I’m a Socialist and he responds with a shit-eating grin 1/3

In case you missed it, I started a new series going over the true history of Socialism in America, the history you were never taught. The first article is on Emil Seidel, the legendary Socialist Mayor of Milwaukee. Full article: ⤵️ simplifyingsocialism.substack.com/p/american-s...

Beginning a new series of articles titled "American Socialists," teaching the history of Socialism in the United States that you were (most likely) never taught. First article is on Emil Seidel and will be out Monday morning.

My thoughts on the victory of Zohran Mamdani and what it means for the American left ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/simplify...

Was able to gather my thoughts on Zohran's win. Short article will be live in the morning.

Found this in a book on sentences. This is was written 100 years before the declaration of independence.

Marx really cooked when he wrote a counter to The Philosophy of Poverty and titled it The Poverty of Philosophy.

The yearning to write a classic only to disappear off the face of the Earth where I can continue writing, never publishing, in solitude is real. I'm in my J.D. Salinger era.

I believe people should own their labor. That’s not radical.

Watching for Fateh now 🤞

Can't believe that one of the 9/11 hijackers just won the mayoralty of New York City. What has this country gone to!?!

#CocksOutForZohran!

Dick Cheney, the greatest icon the center left ever had.

Did not expect for the VA Gubernatorial to be that much of a blowout 💀

Hey friends, how's life going?

I don't think people realize how big of a red flag this is. For centuries, men who have gone to war have come home and written about the horror, guilt, and other traumas it has inflicted on them. Anyone who would refer to it as an "excellent experience" is irreparably broken.

Itamar Ben-Gvir calls for the death penalty for those charged with terrorism. Good! Ben-Gvir can be the first sentenced to death as he has been charged with terrorism.
