Zak’s comments from the Reading with Comrades group.

Hey everyone! I'm Zak. Recently quitting my abysmally paying childcare job has left me with a bit more time to read and so i was thinking how cool it would be to have people to talk to about what I'm reading! I been generally leftist a while but around 2 years ago an anarchist friend insisted I read Emma Goldman's essays and since it's caused a snowball effect of being more and more fascinated with political books and history.

I do some stuff with DSA and other orgs but sometimes find myself a bit socially isolated due to disability. So this group really does seem like such a perfect fit!

I'm very slowly trying to wrap my head around Capital lol

But also stumbled across an antique book from 1860! A biography of John Brown from not long after his death. I think politically there's a decent amount we can learn from that eras abolitionists.
