    Ask A Red V: The Five-Year Plan

    I am curious what the red panelists think of the current crisis in Brazil. Is it a just a temporary setback for the PT, or a return of neoliberalism?

    What video games have you been playing? 4

    I have been playing Dust: An Elysian Tail, and it has become one of my favorite games. The platforming feel very satisfying and the animations are nice and smooth. The music and art are beautiful. It is a lovely game. The link, if anyone want to check it out.

    I just finished it, and yeah it is difficult to puts in words how amazing these events were. I mean against all odds, the slave armies were able to repelled the Europeans attempts to (re)claim the colony. But it is tragic how L'Overture attempts to avoid further bloodshed via policy of...

    Which book are you reading now? Volume XI

    I am almost done the second chapter. So, I am not that farther in it. But from what I have read so far, it is really good. C.L.R James is doing an excellent job of not only showing the conditions of the slaves had live in, but also articulating the different racial relationships that existed...
