read pic related and got the gist of it. I'm rereading it now until i really understand the ins and outs.

But, I'm having a hard time understanding the way he structured this. the first thing he really delves into is a certain oversocialized brand of leftism. but why start right there first? wouldn't it have made more sense to begin with the "sources of social problems" section and then go into leftism?

>46. We attribute the social and psychological problems of modern society to the fact that that society requires people to live
under conditions radically different from those under which the human race evolved and to behave in ways that conflict with
the patterns of behavior that the human race developed while living under the earlier conditions.
to me, this would've been a great lead in to his views on leftism. "conditions radically different from those under which the human race evolved" could segway perfectly to the oversocialized upper middle class.

He mentions leftism a lot, which I guess I'm having a hard time understand why, or Im just confused on the ordering of the manifesto. His spiel towards the end especially. Why is it so important he drives this nail in about leftism specifically instead of just oversocialized people themselves, regardless of politics?
