  It’s Only Forever - Labyrinth

  In the 40 years since Labyrinth’s release, Jim Henson’s cult classic starring a menagerie of goblin puppets, the conversation about it has only grown louder. Fans are still holding viewing parties and masquerade balls, and creating memes inspired by David Bowie’s sardonic and sexy goblin king, numerous Etsy crafts, and even a Japanese video game. But what makes the film so enduring, beyond its technical mastery and clever script, is how it presents childhood as something dangerous, heroic, and even queer. 
  		 
  It's Only Forever explores Labyrinth as an ’80s time capsule that both reflects and challenges its era, offering its young audience an alternative to conservatism and soulless economics, at a time when U.S. president Ronald Reagan ignored the HIV/AIDS crisis, pushing queerness further into the shadows. As Sarah, played by a teenaged Jennifer Connelly, faces down the king and his destructive whims, she exclaims, “You have no power over me,” and in that moment she is everyone who has ever felt marginalized, who has instead turned to the goblins over social and political toxicity every single time. 
  		 
  From the costuming to the twisting plot, this classic example of 1980s fantasy shows us that the magic and comfort of childhood never need to be discarded as we are forced to enter a world that may very well seek to destroy us. Instead, Labyrinth reveals a universal and beautiful truth: that our strength comes from what we have always known ourselves to be — beastly, loving, and wildly joyful.

  The Communist Manifesto

  "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains".
  The Communist Manifesto lays out the principles of Marxism, analysing the historical development of class struggles and the dynamics of capitalism. Marx and Engels argue that all history is the history of class conflict, and that capitalism, like previous systems, contains the seeds of its own destruction. Written in 1848, The Communist Manifesto remains one of the most influential political documents ever written, presenting a laser-sharp critique of inequality and presenting a vision for a radically different, classless society where "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all."
  
  But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
  Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto and writing Das Kapital. Due to his political writings, he was forced to live in exile in London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings. His ideas have had enormous influence on political and philosophical thought, laid the foundation for modern communism and have influenced political movements worldwide.
  Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was a German philosopher, social scientist, and political theorist best known for his collaboration with Karl Marx. Born in Barmen, Prussia (now Wuppertal, Germany), Engels came from a wealthy textile manufacturing family. His early experiences in the family business exposed him to the harsh realities of industrial capitalism, which shaped his views on class struggle and social justice. Engels was a strong advocate for workers' rights and played a key role in the development of Marxist thought. He died in 1895 in London, leaving a lasting legacy in political theory.
