    Bourgeois historians criticize the book that proven them to be either at the level of 1st year student or actively engaging in obfuscating history for the benefit of ruling class? No wai!

      As I said ive seen the criticism levied here before too. I doubt most of the people criticising him for citing newspaper articles or his dreams or whatever the complaint is are doing so to undermine the left.

        It’s just that the main points of that book were never even about Caesar or Rome, those were just illustration to:

        1. Historians are not using dialectical materialism enough.
        2. Academia is knowingly or not serving the ruling class, which is really cold take since even the “Father of History” Herodotus straight up took Athenian money to smear Persia but they still don’t like to have it pointed out.
