Obama's Secret Record Collection : Rolling Stone
I'm sending him Spiderland, Vampire on Titus, Evol (he needs "Green Light") and Trace. You?

Nando on Kasama: Engagement and Audience « Kasama
This article calls for US Maoists and Trotskyists to look past their doctrinal divergences and join forces for whatever. Imagine, the coalition of hundreds that could emerge from such a hatchet-burial!

The Dialectics of Marx, Althusser & Mao: That Lonely Hour of Last Instance « Kasama
