    most Americans experience with reading is a bunch of incomprehensible books about centuries-old conflicts

    Maybe we should be putting theory in plain, modern language instead of directing people to read Lenin's dunks on obscure European leftists who've been dead a century.

      Maybe we should be putting theory in plain, modern language instead of directing people to read Lenin’s dunks on obscure European leftists who’ve been dead a century.

      No that can't be it. We should double down and reference to the extreme obscure internet arguments.

      Seriously though if I'm reading theory and it starts trying to roast some random fucking guy no one has ever heard of I just skip it. If I wanted centuries old arguments over nothing I would get more involved in my families arguments
