    Honestly, I was really shocked just how relevant stuff from Marx and Lenin was today when I started reading it. So many political debates we’re having in the west today are mirrored there, and it’s really too bad that so much of this stuff was effectively forgotten. Glad to see posting this stuff helps.

      Sometimes, it feels like a longer winded version of the saying: history repeats itself

        Kind of, the good news here is that we have lots of historical record and political theory we can study to understand the moment we’re living in now. We could save a lot of debates on how to move forward if we can get more people to read this stuff.
