I hate enclosed private gardens so much. Some times I use AI to change pictures of gardens into shared mini-parks to make me feel better
I hate these tiny-ass gardens I see them all the time and theyre almost always terrible. They're at best just a financial burden on the worker who don't have the spare money or time to commit to renovating and maintaining them, and at worst they're a source of distress and misery because no one can comfortably relax in a quiet green space and they are mostly untidy and unkempt.
To make it cheaper on them, usually the owner paves them heavily or covers them in plastic grass so it doesn't require so much maintaining. This just turns them into extremely hot heat traps in the summer, and even worse ecological dead zones than if it were just plain grass and it fucks with the water table as no rain can soak into the ground.
They're just such ugly wastes of space
I wish for times when these fences are knocked down and labour can more efficiently be used to maintain a larger, much higher quality shared space for people to unwind and socialise. And in the long term for islands medium dense housing parted by a sea of green.
Last post I'll make about it; but the Kollontai Collected Works epub I made is now on Marxists.org
Don't need to host it anymore lol
To those who were interested; here is the finished .epub for Alexandra Kollontai's Collected Works
You can download either the master file, or the individual texts.

Enjoy!
If anything is broken or you want any features added let me know and I'll get round to it when I can.
I've been working to convert the entirety of Kollontai's ouvre on Marxists.org into a Collected Works epub to be viewable on ereaders. Don't say I never did anything
I personally hate reading on my phone or monitor so I wanted to get Marxists texts on an ereader but found MIAs epub library very lacking. So I thought "fuck it. I'll do it myself".
I've spent a good amount of time beautifying it, making it look nice. Theres a fully working contents page where you can click on each title and it'll take you the page in the doc. As well as a 'return to contents' link next to each title. Page dividers for footnote sections, formatted tables, etc.
I will release this publicly for anyone interested soon, and get into contact with MIA to see if they're interested in having them to put on their website. I need to figure out a way to share a file publicly without also sharing identifying information. I also want to do some finishing touches before release as for some odd reason the formatting messed up with Red Love, where the first page is blank, and the text begins on the next page.
Don't tell me entryism doesn't work when leftists have hollowed this place out from the inside
I have been guilty of coal posting. But dawg no one is forcing you to make a post on Vltraleft. I think we would all do well to look at the top posts of all time and remind ourselves what made this place good before saying the first shit that comes our heads and clicking 'Post'
I know I'm supposed to hate the bourgeoisie more, but god damn do the petite Bourgeoisie make it difficult to not hate them more
Please work for me for free I need the labour to keep my land
