>Implying Leftists don't read Nietzsche.
Every respectable Marxist should read Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals at least once. It's essentially a historical-materialist look at how the concept of virtue arose as a response to specific social circumstances, and changes in material, and social conditions have led to virtuist systems of ethics developing a class component.

Is My Life by Trotsky worth reading?

>>9978184
Haven't read it, so can't say definitively, however I can say that Trotsky has been proven to lie about events when it's politically convenient for him to do so, so if you do read his version of events, do so with a very skeptical eye.
You can watch this for more info about Trotsky getting caught out lying about shit:

how come no one ever posts about this book on /lit/? it was a bestseller and pretty edgy in it's day, i'm sure all you babies who are mad about having to grow up and get a job would dig it

>>9978047
Not a real thing?

>>9980337
oh wait because even though it criticizes corporate capitalism the author's remedy is not a stalinist state bureaucracy making the workers into industrial serfs like in asiatic countries, but a return to the rugged individualism that made america great

>inb4 the irony of a dude writing in the 50s longing for past days of american greatness

it’s funny how negative critique of the shock doctrine is usually unsubstantial. Sure, the book could better tie together the psychological shocks inflicted on humans to the economic shocks and find out if there really is a connection.

The connection between the economic shock in the UK and the attack on the Falklands is also not very well explained.

The details about reforms in each of the mentioned countries are also missing.

Nonetheless, the book is onto something. Friedman’s ideas of economic liberty no matter the cost are well analysed. But, I think some things just happened without any real planning, unlike what the author implies - that there was some kind of masterplan for everything.

How does it feel knowing that in 10-20 years you're going to be extremely moderate compare to now and the revolution isn't going to be closer at all?
