Total Propaganda: Basic Marxist Brainwashing for the Angry and the Young by Helen Razer

5.0

A very enjoyable, thought-provoking read for anyone who has a beef with capitalism (this really should be almost everyone). I'm a good 10+ years post arts degree, and needed a bit of a sharpen up on all of the concepts discussed, there really wasn't one dud chapter in this whole book, and many times when I passed it over to my partner with an urgent, "Start here, read this, it's what we were sort of talking about the other day but, like, well said." Read it, read it soon. If your bookclub loved "The Wife Drought" then next time it's time to do a non-fiction read, step it up with this book, you won't be disappointed.

PS Do not try to read any decluttering/minimalism/budgeting books for a good few months after this, they will cause you to seethe - Really capitalism? You'd like me to do more with less? You think I'm alienated from/by my stuff because I'm just not organised enough...
