I'm going to be honest, this book gave me "this is why we can't have nice things" vibes. I expected it to be more of a manifesto. Mostly it is tips and tricks on how to "destroy capitalism" one step at a time. It didn't age well, most of the suggestions are outdated and irrelevant today. Nevertheless, it sheds a light on the mentality of some people in the 70s, which, I feel, often gets left out in history textbooks.

a wildly entertaining read. lots of the references to relief organizations are outmoded, but it's still an impressive compendium.

A lot of the recommendations have been lost in the passage of time. However, the spirit of the book is timeless and exhilarating. To recognize that Americans are living in the heart of the Empire and to respond to all that entails, it's a hard order. Rebel laughter and gorilla costumes make the whole mess a lot easier to bear.
