Everyone should read Leslie Feinberg. Ze is so passionate about unity and liberation of all people through collective struggle. As a transmasc Black and Okinawan lesbian, this book speaks to me. Even if you do not hold any marginalized identities, I hope this book speaks to you as an anti-capitalist/imperialist, as a human being, as a lover of humanity.
