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.
