GOODS is a communist clothing co-op. It's from the blurb on the page for their Urb shirt.

Their manifesto is pretty all right, too.

City. Very much looking forward to how much better cities will be with socialist development.

GOODS FOR THE PEOPLE puts it well:

The future belongs to sustainable smart cities.

Ecologically speaking, increasingly concentrated mega cities is the only path toward a future of harmonious integration of humans and nature. Socialist cities of the future, such as the Forrest City being developed in the PRC, can develop and function in much more rational, healthy, and communal ways than random chaotic development under the tyranny of private ownership of land and industry.

I made lemmygrad.ml/c/socialistemblems a while ago and then forgot about it until now, so that's cool, appreciate the reminder

That emptiness is a very common feeling. Learning and doing more absolutely helps with it, though. Look into the concept of revolutionary optimism a little bit if you start reading again.

Been slowly working my way through le Carré's Karla Trilogy, but slowly starting to hate it more bit by bit. I still think spy stories are better if the setting is the Cold War.

I think now I prefer nonfiction and theory books more now, though, as I continue to learn. Should probably focus more on actually getting through them rather than reading snippets or shorter works as they come up, especially since sometimes I feel I'm not getting the full picture as I'm not entirely confident in my foundation of knowledge. Got a lot of stuff I'll probably have to reread at some point.
