Poor choice. Would not recommend. Almost all the references are going over my head, and I really don't feel like chasing them down. Maybe I'll pick it back up after studying the 1905 revolution or if I really get into German social democrat history or whatever. I'll finish it I guess, but I expect to retain nothing and learn very little.
If you get a decent version with good footnotes to explain the weirdly specific references it helps ground it in concrete conditions which is kind of the whole point of Marxism ino
