It is a really good essay, and I think it's a substantial contribution to political education in its particular context. The Black Myths Podcast also interviewed Gabriel Rockhill a couple of weeks ago on the subject of how he sees Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism applying to the question of organizing in the US, and it's the only discussion of its kind that I've heard with a focus on the present-day US. It dovetails seamlessly with the practical applications of Nonviolence is Violence Too's focus on situating non/sacrificially-violent struggle dialectically in its materially violent context.
Everyone involved in that interview struck me as uncommonly focused on the question of "What is to be done," and imo that's been characteristic of their work.
