I hate to be rude to these people, but you start talking about Actually Existing Socialist Countries and all of sudden you feel like you’re talking to a libertarian who hates prisons. And I’m like have you read any of these… and its like nah.
That’s why I often don’t really suggest Naomi Klein and Bullshit Jobs because they are great points of entryism, but they just give permission for westerners to still have no historical understanding of the world around them. Spouting off about Totalitarianism.
Ah ok. That makes more sense. Once you get Klein’s perspective, there’s not much more to be gleaned from subsequent works. I would hate to think I’d based my opinion of Graeber solely on Bullshit Jobs and wrote off Debt though which I found worth the effort even if it’s entryism.
Admittedly have not read debt.
