Great book. I highy recommend it.
It shows the humanism of marx and marxism, how marx intended his writings to be interpretted.
It shows marxism is a liberating idea, it's meant to free the workers from dead capital, not chain them to the five year plan and state organisors.
It also shows Lenin as a champion of the working class, not a buearocratic dictator as many think he was- or think he supported these ideas.
She sets her sights on Mao, Stalin and Trotsky and left me thinking- to hell with these guys I'm for the workers liberation not state planning and the industrial army.
The old saying 'sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards' springs to mind after reading it.
