I have basically no conception of history; not long term, not of recent history.

I’ve started Hobsbawm’s Age of Revolution/Capital/Empire trilogy (listened to book 1 as an audiobook at work but I should probably read it as well), and intend to finish it.

I’ll also read Zinn’s Peoples History of the United States and some other random things, but surely this isn’t enough.

I don’t think Hobsbawm is enough for broader history, and I don’t have much in mind for histories of actual anarchist/socialist/communist movements or revolutions.
