I am a Marxist-Leninist at
Carnegie Military University., working with the Pittsburgh branch of F.I.S.T. (Fight Imperialism - Stand Together.) There is some immediate work that needs to be done to expand F.I.S.T in Pittsburgh. That of course means integrating ourselves with the Thomas Merton Center, reaching out to the Muslim youth and L.G.B.T. community, creating solidarity around community issues and rather than imposing ideology, allow our work to speak for Applied Revolutionary Marxism, the theory and practice of Revolution.
Currently I'm sitting here in my dorm room in Moorewood E. Tower, playing DuneMUD and hacking up an article for DEEK about PGH F.I.S.T (an article which I doubt they will accept.) I think Deek is one of the better things about Pittsburgh, since Pittsburgh is an all most unbearable "city" all ready. (Except for Ritters, mmm, I love Ritters. They don't have twenty four hour diners in Boston.) Sarah is sitting on my bed playing Eternal Lands RPG. I should make myself productive, clean up, watch some Workers World lesson tapes, focus on my article, work on the PGH FIST site, but, I'm so bloody tired. It's been a long week with too many papers and assignments and I feel like chilling this weekend. We have monday off. Maybe I can pick up the tab then.
I am reading a book about marxist applications to psychology. Specifically to the psychology of art - my goal is to create a text book, along the lines of the famous Political Economy textbook by Nitkin, but, instead on
Applied Revolutionary Marxism which would expound the theory and practice of Revolution, include rigorous research into the nature of planned economies and use of the law of value and so on. Not sure how this one will work out, but, it's still a goal. ;)
I think I should get the following accomplished today:
1. F.I.S.T. Deek article.
2. Update F.I.S.T. site.
3. Get on TMC list. New People article.
4. Watch W.W. video tapes. Read. Sigh.
By the way, whenever I write I feel like I'm being extremly arrogant. Maybe because I have nothing to say and I feel obligated to write here. Either way, I'm tired of not recording anything I think.
