informative
As someone who didn't know a lot about Marxist theory this was a good starting point to his writings especially his unpublished stuff. However from a general activist standpoint I think the concepts proposed here could've been explored a bit more in depth. A lot of the book spends time explaining why capitalism = bad, which personally I didn't really need - I picked up the book because I'm already anti-capitalist. But I guess it's just a book written for a more introductory standpoint to this way of thinking. Read it for book club so it did bring up some good conversation though
