    Sure, I appreciate the man immensely. Just find stuff by people who would describe themselves as anarchists (Emma Goldman for example) more compelling than things written by people who would identify as Marxists. Maybe I’m confused about the Marxists I’ve met, I’m concerned with class struggle as well as anti-racism and anti fascism. A lot of the self identified Marxists I’ve met seem to think class is the only thing worth talking about in leftists circles.

    I also haven’t read much from Marx besides the manifesto and German ideology. Capitol looks cool, but I’m way too ADHD for a tome like that. If you ve read and finished capitol, major props to you.

    I believe in big tent shit. We as leftists need to come together as it is to push back against this current wave of right-wing reactionaries

      In the sense that all struggles need to fold into class struggle, yes. No other struggle is going to produce socialism, only class struggle is going to produce it. The other struggles need to be built in a way that they lead to folding into class struggle.
