    It’s what this person does. Check their post history and you will see how often they flog that specific piece of literature.

      I recommend many. Blackshirts is just the most relevant both for understanding fascism and contextualizing AES, as well as being more accessible than Marxist texts. I encourage liberals and left-leaning people to read theory constantly. Heck, here’s an “intro to Marxism reading list” I commented earlier today that another user requested I make.

      Thanks, but I’ll just disengage.

      It’s sad but true that the Right falls in line while the Left waits to fall in love.

        The evidence doesn’t support that claim. Libertarian candidates for President get more votes than leftist candidates, by far. Compare the leftish Democrats coalescing around Biden in 2020, and Harris this year, to the Republican politicians who get “primaried,” and the prevalence of RINO vs. DINO accusations. Look at the votes in the House to select Jeffries vs. Johnson.

          It’s an old political truism.

          Not a presented as a scientific fact.
