Nothing Gold Can Stay (Redux)
Theory Isn’t the Only Tool
Karl Marx wrote poetry. So did Joseph Stalin. Mao Zedong as well. Their creative work came before their political and philosophical output. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a pattern. And yet, most Marxist discourse today treats art as secondary, decorative, or indulgent. Why?

One Nation Under Elitists’ Rule
After contemplating my own experiences and the power of personal growth, I finally decided to write a short story that reflects themes of resilience and self-discovery. While ‘Reclaiming Maria: A Reunion of Self’ draws inspiration from my own journey, it is a work of fiction, crafted to explore the complexities of facing the past and embracing who we’ve become. I hope you enjoy this tale of transformation and empowerment.

Cithrus, however, was different. He was curious about the parts of Wonderland others feared or ignored—the uncharted lands where time had no meaning, the forests where trees whispered riddles, and the skies where stars swapped places on a whim. His unrelenting curiosity often brought trouble, as he frequently bent the rules of their order, pushing Wonderland to the brink of chaos with his experiments.

Banished from the Moonlit Council for his recklessness, Cithrus roamed Wonderland as an outsider. Rather than despair, he embraced his new existence, relishing in the freedom and absurdity of his world. Over time, his wit, riddles, and sly demeanor made him a guide of sorts to those who wandered into Wonderland. Some said he loved unraveling people’s minds with his cryptic wisdom; others believed he simply enjoyed the company, as strange and fleeting as it was.

I was recommended Khaled Hosseini’s book, “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by someone I’ve been conversing with on Goodreads. While it’s fiction, it appears that this person takes it how Muslims really are. From the critical reviews that I’ve read, so far, my immediate takeaway is that the book is Anti-Communist (the Soviets didn’t invade Afghanistan) and Islamophobic. Others have said that it’s racist and makes the case for ‘humanitarian intervention’ aka invasion based on women’s rights or children’s rights.
On Monday morning, author Elizabeth Gilbert posted a video to her social media accounts announcing that she was pulling her newest book, The Snow Forest, from the publishing calendar. The historical novel, which centers around a family in the 1930s that finds refuge from the Soviet government in the woods of Siberia, received backlash online from Ukrainian readers who criticized her for publishing a book set in Russia amid the Russian war in Ukraine.
