nerds & non-nerds alike should know about and read this one too
Lenin blows my mind with just how broad his considerations are & how razor sharp his wit is, all the while keeping the main point focused on real-life practicality & economy & utility within the writing
yes, Lenin dunks on Lassalle without using the n-w*rd
imo it proves something more fundamental about how Western thought is bound up historically & made useless by thinking the past is naturally obscure or impenetrable
but the point being made as I see it is that philosophy should be a tool to help us notice iniquities & change the world, and not merely idly interpret these things. & I think even Heraclitus communicates that point where all these fancy lads since the Enlightenment can't understand it at all
