  "What Is to Be Done?" by Vladimir Lenin is a seminal work that outlines the revolutionary strategy and organizational principles for the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. Written in 1902, this influential text serves as a cornerstone in the development of Leninist thought.
   Lenin addresses the challenges facing the working class movement, particularly the lack of revolutionary consciousness among the proletariat. He argues for the necessity of a vanguard party composed of professional revolutionaries who possess the political knowledge to guide the working class towards socialist revolution.
   The text delves into Lenin's critique of spontaneity and calls for a disciplined and centralized party that can provide direction and leadership. Lenin emphasizes the importance of theoretical clarity, political education, and a strong organizational structure to achieve the ultimate goal of overthrowing the capitalist system.
  "What Is to Be Done?" has been a subject of extensive debate and interpretation within Marxist circles, and its ideas have had a profound impact on the development of revolutionary movements worldwide. This work remains a key reference for those exploring Leninist theory and the role of the vanguard party in revolutionary change.

  Mothercare - On Obligation Love...

  Brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. 
   
   
   
  Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children—an eleven-year process through which her mother underwent many surgeries and some misdiagnoses, while the family navigated consultations and confrontations with doctors, adjusting to the complexity of her cognitive issues, including memory loss. 
   
   
   
  With her notoriously exquisite writing style and reputation as a "rich noticer of strange things" (Colm Toíbín), Tillman describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and frustrating years of caring for a sick parent. 
   
   
   
  Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.

  Making Money Hand Over Fist -...

  Todays 'free-market' philosophy of one-dollar-one-vote has all but eclipsed the traditional one-person-one-vote values of our grandparents’ generations. Our democratic and humanitarian concepts of 'all for one, one for all' and 'we're all in this together' have all but vanished. It's not my intention to start a political discussion about the rights and wrongs of national or international fiscal policies. I do not wish to delve into the wheeler-dealing of money markets and the distribution of corporate wealth.Nope. That is not what this book is about. Nevertheless, I will challenge the statement that 'Greed is good.' And by so doing, explain how I believe we can all, on a very personal level, benefit from a philosophy that is quite the opposite. Indeed, I am going to show you how generosity expedites wealth creation. But to do that, first we need to understand what generosity is.

  The mother cat had been quite upset when she first saw the blue kitten. She had looked fearfully then toward the river. For, like all cats, she had heard that a blue kitten could learn the river's song. Any kitten has a hard enough time to find a home for himself. For every kitten must find a hearth to fit his song. But a kitten who listens to the river and learns the river's song has the hardest time of all. Not only must the kitten who sings the river's song find a hearth to fit that song, but he must teach the keeper of that hearth to sing the same song. The river's song is very old. And mortals who have ears to hear and hearts to sing are fewer than few. (From The Blue Cat of Castle Town)This project was proof listened by Catharine Eastman, ElleyCat, and Park Chohwa.

  Aliens visiting planet Earth. Watching mankind from afar. Gathering information. What do they want? 
   
  As a species we are the same. We watch lower species and gather information. We test and probe. We do so for our own benefit. Is this why we are being watched? Are we seen as the lower species? 
   
  But what is the truth? Are there other intelligent beings looking up into the night sky asking the same question, somewhere else in this vast universe? And have they visited us? 
   
  Are there Civilizations that have achieved interstellar communication, and have established a network of linked societies throughout our galaxy? 
   
  Governments have denied the existence of UFO’s, yet the number of leaked reports from various agencies indicate that there is a hidden truth. A deeper truth. A dark truth pointing towards a very dark future for mankind.
