Peace, Land, and Notes : Volume 3

Iskra's 2024 notebooks have arrived!

With inspiring revolutionary quotes and well-divided, easily-labeled sections—as well as an easy note-taking layout inspired by the collective decades of Iskra's editorial staff has spent in higher education and organizing—our new Peace, Land, and Notes volumes are a tetralogy of notebooks geared towards the pressing need for dynamic note-taking amid fast-paced and changing times.

Designed for comrades navigating overlapping, multiple lives as organizers, students, educators, and workers, Iskra's Peace, Land, and Notes is designed to help organize the multi-topic and multi-directional notes that inevitably acquire—and collide—over the course of a quarter (or semester) of study, practice, work, and activism.

​

We've created four volumes, each with original cover art, interior design and layout, and each with a different collection of inspiring revolutionary quotes.

And, as we are now able to juxtapose the pandemic's impacts in the United States against those of the socialist states—against the examples provided by China, Vietnam, and others—we are able to see most clearly what has been true all along: that the neoliberal state and the capitalist class care nothing for the lives of the public. Profit and accumulation, rested atop a pile of corpses, are their only motivation. Capitalism has utterly failed public health and well-being. We must fight for socialism.

We bring you issue three of Peace, Land, and Bread in this spirit: in the spirit of writing and research amidst dark times, of radical scholarship in the face of empire, and in the spirit of both pessimism and hope—pessimism that what we now face upon the eve of what might be the most troubling winter in a hundred years is nothing short of historic, and optimism that, as communists and as radicals, we shall persevere as we always have: through community, camaraderie, and connection—and overall with solidarity.
