Really confused by the existence of a person who apparently hates "Marxist apologia", but has read Blackshirts and Reds.
Has read and recommends Blackshirts and Reds, no less. "Well, this one piece of Marxist analysis I read was thoughtful, thorough, and worth reading (despite being Marxist). But obviously the rest of it must still be terrible"
Copying and pasting my other comment:
Based on what they told me yesterday, they have started reading it, maybe a chapter or two in. Throughout my interactions with them over the last year or so, I have steadily gotten them to read Elementary Principles of Philosophy, "Tankies," and now finally they have started Blackshirts and Reds.
Overall, they are your typical anti-communist "progressive liberal," but in the last month or so have been pushing back against anti-Communism. This is genuinely a massive step for them IMO.
amazing work, before i read this I was even prepared to just say "shit, I'll take it" but the fact that it's actually progress from concerted effort is truly awesome and you deserve all the praise
Thank you so much!![emoji heart-sickle heart-sickle](https://hexbear.net/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F14c2707b-51cb-44ed-be2f-f262d088e219.png)
