End of gynaecological statement!
Yes, it's shit. Dredge. Not even a coherent, based on anything (diamat) “this is how you should think” like Mao’s Red Book. There is little to agree with because there are few arguments. Lots of call to nature though, especially in the sexist chapter on women. An idealistic “image”, if it can even be called that, about “socialist” economics and democracy is mentioned but is not based on anything. He treats much of what he says as “self-evident”, but not self-evident as Mao did, as in “based on my previous arguments and diamat” - just doesn't expound on anything, because you know he can't.
One of the rare times it would be better if the book was written by a ghostwriter.
i have not read it myself, but from what i've heard it's 50% good, 50% unhinged
Holy shit the swiss plans for a commando raid to free prisoners was a fucking laugh riot. Whoever wrote that was having too much fun
Libya has the largest oil reserves in Africa, which I imagine is a contributing factor.
Yeah, lots to critique especially in theoretical underpinning, but also lots of good stuff. Decolonisation, revolutionary movements in modern urban settings, variations on cuban style popular committees.
As others have mentioned it's a very scattered work and idealist, with nuclear takes in some chapters.
