Crosspost: The Freedom to Return
I want to be free like a bird;
Free to stretch my wings and fly,
To come and go as I please,
With nothing holding me back—
But always with a warm nest nearby.
After all, even the free spirit needs its rest,
No matter how far the heart may stray.

Update on My Work and Focus
From Clausewitz to Caracas: What Book Am I Reading Right Now?
What book are you reading right now?
I was supposed to be reading Clausewitz and the People’s War. Instead, I got completely derailed when I discovered Joseph Stalin’s opinion that Clausewitz was outdated—and promptly lost hours investigating that controversial claim.
Reading will have to wait for another day, as I’m too exhausted. My real focus right now is finishing the Venezuela article I started before this detour. I need to get it done fast; before the infamous Kegseth (whose ego needs $2B to stoke) orders the U.S. Military to launch a decapitation strike on the country.
So, while Clausewitz and the People’s War waits on the shelf, the focus is purely on Caracas. Wish me luck in beating Kegseth to the punch. Once that article is finally filed, maybe I’ll finally have the mental space to get back to my reading.
My Core Principles: From Cronkite to Communism
For the record, I am not an anarchist; I simply have a deep love of quotes and like to look up their origins. My research often reveals that favorite sayings are frequently misattributed or heavily paraphrased.

World Kindness Day: Beyond Forgiveness, Towards Understanding
Today is World Kindness Day, and I’ll admit I haven’t felt like a particularly kind person lately. There are times when repeated, intentional hurt from others makes your capacity for kindness feel finite and depleted.

Marxists Write Poetry, Too.
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?

Echoes of History: The Events That Shaped My Memory
What major historical events do you remember?
Applebee’s: Drowning in Ranch and Regret

I tried to order Battered Fish and Chips. They were out. Strike one.
So I pivoted to the Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Sandwich. A mistake. Apparently, Applebee’s missed the memo from the “Don’t Drown Your Food” PSA. The sandwich arrived swimming in Ranch—so much that the chicken breast was actively trying to escape the bun. I had to perform a rescue operation, extracting the slippery protein and eating it solo, like some sad, sauce-slicked survivor.
Strike two.
To round out the evening, I ordered a Sugar Free Red Bull. Because clearly, sleep deprivation needed a wingman. I haven’t had caffeine in years. Maybe I was chasing chaos. Maybe I wanted to see if those Red Bull Wings would lift me out of this culinary disappointment. Spoiler: they didn’t.
Strike three. I’m out.
