Such a great list, as always! Love those little treats for yourself, and I say, chocolate 🍫 is generally always a good idea haha. Also thanks for sharing that piece about Marxism, intellectual discussions are always appreciated and I find this part particularly illuminating: “if workers understood that they made the shoe together, they’d understand that together they are powerful, and could unite and begin planning how to distribute the booty they earned together democratically. In absence of this consciousness, however, the social arrangement defaults to what it was in its primitive origins: work is organized by capitalists, who minimize the compensation of all workers, and for their organizing efforts get to hoover up all the rest. They are then free to reinvest it, or frivolously dip into it, as they privately — individually, unaccountably, undemocratically — see fit.”
