I don't mean to be scathing to you but that's my review of reading most of it, I've seen it posted before elsewhere. Ultimately nothing in this book had any bearing on the creation of a successful anti-imperialism or a development strategy for the third world or an organizing strategy for workers in the core to make them see their burdens are put on them by the global financial system seated in Washington and NYC. It only serves to sow doubt about the question of the usefulness of Marxism to the working class at all. The effort of expanding the science, understanding the immensely painful experiments of this time period. Really pointing out the flaws of the USSR would have saved millions of lives. We are all suffering for the inarticulation and the lack of communication. Now with the internet we choose to retread the mistakes of the 2nd international. Samir Amin wanted a fifth international. If I die without seeing it I know we will be in a pit beyond what we can imagine even today. There is still further to go. There is deeper to sink. There is a trash world that can ooze on a little longer. I want life in the stars and to be forgotten. I want oblivion. I want everything sprawled out. We are wasting our opportunities. Even now I shouldn't be posting.
