    Well that is my impression of it which is why I don't plan on prioritizing it.

    Look, I just opened up a pdf of it and it seems more Maoist and less radlib than I expected, which is still not my thing but I feel like I might get something out of it. I might read it eventually, but I'm very lazy for reading so it's not likely I'll get there. This quar I only got through like four books in all the time I've been stuck at home, and none of them were very long or hard. I'm sorry I was a jerk when you were so nice to me, that was uncalled for.

      I mean, okay, you don't have to read it if you don't want, but don't mischaracterize it, especially not to others who should be reading it. I have a tough time getting through theory myself so I don't blame you. But it's worth a look if you want to understand why the US never had an effective class consciousness in its proletariat, and it explains that it's not because of identity politics.
