    It's from 1991 so that would be something like £35 today, pretty sure it's from a charity shop, the person who got it for me is fairly apolitical(but votes labour and has class consciousness) but probably just saw it and was like No_Values is always rating about that commie stuff, he'll like it, without look into it's veracity too much lol

      I bought a communist friend a Chomsky book back when I was still a radlib. Is there any hope for redemption?

        I'm an anarchist myself comrade, but :chompsky: and his whole 'justified hierarchies' muddied the waters quite a bit, get them some Bookchin or Kropotkin( Ursula K. Le Guin for something non-theory)

      That is understandable, I don't think many people are aware of the intricacies concerning the USSR anyways.
      And when it comes to presents I always try to have an attitude of "It is the thought that counts", and this sounds like at least that is the case here.

        Definitely, there was a decent level of thought behind it, I really appreciated it, even if the content within is dogshit
