This is very common. Lenin is really easy to read and he's very sharp and succinct. I think I called myself an anarchist for awhile and then I actually read some theory, starting with Conquest of the Bread and I got kind of annoyed at the really saccharine, preachy tone. Then I read S&R and Lenin just laid it all out and it sounded really practical so I was like alright, damn I'm an ML. But then I read some more anarchist theory and actually read Marx and then I read a bunch of post-modern bullshit, had a Nick Land phase, and then I listened to La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura by Luigi Nono on acid. And now I'm just a pretentious asshole with anarcho-deleuzian-cottage-core-posadist tendencies.
