This is a graphic of two hands toasting with a book and a beer with a book quote above. The quote says "“A lot of it was just sheer grinding shitwork. You think making a revolution is all agony and ecstasy? It's not, it's mostly drudgery. Hard, disciplined, repetitive work that's boring and necessary. But what keeps you going is that twenty times a week something would happen—out there in that lousy capitalist world or inside among your comrades—and you'd remember. You'd remember why you were here, and what you were doing it all for, and it was like a shot of adrenalin coursing through your veins.” The Romance of American Communism by Vivian Gornick

Join us for Socialist Books & Brews TOMORROW @ 6PM at the Independent Beer Bar in Everett, WA. We are currently reading The Romance of American Communism by Vivian Gornick.
