catflame microblogging book reviews 

i read Marx Dead And Alive: Reading Capital In Precarious Times much earlier than i meant to (i’m already reading through three other books (no none of the rest is Capital or about it)) and i liked it

you can tell the author actually reads, like, fiction; they write like a writer

you do not need to have read Capital to be able to follow or appreciate the book

i do not understand why the author thinks Marxism was “forced” on agrarian, pre-capitalist China, while at the same time he very approvingly cites and discusses Lenin, who, famously, took power in pre-capitalist Russia,, but ok, whatever

@compufox proton because it would have an actual positive effect on society, unlike its fork point

@manifold simonandschuster.com/books/Fig has a chapter on disabled workers and at one point it mentions direct action taken to get the law passed and i was a bit surprised it didn’t mention the fact that people kind of hate the law

(she is at least very aware that there is absolutely a long way to go)
