Comrades: Thank you for helping this samizdat reach 5,000 subscribers! We are still growing 10x year over year.

Since many of you joined over the past month through notes, I have compiled the Top 10 most popular posts in this edition. As a bonus, I have removed paywalls from 2 fan favorites at the bottom - 94% of paid subscribers deemed last week’s fiction debut worthy of your eyes. There are also 2 playlists that pair well with the readings for your ears.

I am open to syndication opportunities, so I have changed the titles of a few posts away from the “How To” format. If you’d like to ask me a question and/or syndicate my writing, please submit it in the comments or e-mail yuribezmenov22 [at] protonmail. I will publish answers next week.

What is your favorite post and why? I will continue to post the spiciest unreported angles from deep inside the bowels of our rotten institutions. If you enjoy my work, I would be grateful for any upgrades from comrade to commissar:

How To Homeschool your Kids - The Yuri Homeschool Curriculum

Comrades: Homeschooling is the future of education. As I detailed on Monday, public schools have devolved into babysitting by groomers. Non-parochial private schools are no better, charging upwards of $50K/year for the same indoctrination. Every day, a Democrat teachers union thug is arrested for grooming a student.

Remembering Pat Tillman: An American Patriot, NFL Player, and Army Ranger whose Friendly Fire Death was Turned into War Propaganda

Comrades: Pat Tillman’s life was as much a white pill and as his death was a black pill. Few people are true heroes and role models. Pat Tillman stands as one of the giants in post-9/11 America. In How To Be a Heroic Hotshot, I honored his fellow Arizonans - the Granite Mountain firefighters who perished saving lives in 2013. Today we honor his story. At…

We laughed, we cried, we ripped on Communists. Hope you can join the fun!

As these individuals have proven to be disruptive and dangerous, it is necessary for us as a society to find a way to remove their legal protections. According to French sociologist Alain Ehrenberg's recent works, neoliberalism has shifted many personal responsibilities to individuals, but the State still has a crucial duty to protect its citizens. Although Thatcher and Reagan partially reverted to pre-New Deal policies, any Western government that neglects its sovereign obligations risks inciting a significant revolt. - Luc

PS: I would suggest reading "The right of all to punish," of the late Robert Nozick's 1974 book, "Arnarchy, State, and Utopia."
