Don't bother. All socialists intellectuals are nothing but articulate retards.

They make up all these concepts, successfully invoke obscure philosophical questions and ideas, quote each other to the point they have a gigantic body of work that on the surface seems solid; but at the end of the day they say nothing.

"Society is broken", "poverty is bad", "rich people amass more and more money while the working class starve" are basic bitch ideas that any navel-gazing 15-year old can come up with. Socialists have failed to provide or suggest a system that works better (hell, one that works at all) outside of their masturbatory books and pamphlets.

>b-but Marxist critique of capitalism is good!
Any retard can criticize capitalism (case in point, redditors do that 24/7) so if that's the best your authors can do then that's a very bad sign of his intellect.

e readers are great. everyone loves to ask "what if the lights go out and don't come back on" but:
>the battery lasts for weeks
>i have a solar panel
>perserving a large physical library may not be as easy or important as you think it is if you have to flee your home in some SHTF scenario
I love being able to keep a room's worth of books in my pocket and with z-lib i can get all but the most obscure books for free. i can make copies of them endlessly too. the only annoyance comes when you download a book that hasn't been formatted to an e-reader properly. in a well formatted book clicking on the "1" will bring up the annotation in a little pop-up but most of the time it hasn't been well formatted and you could have to hunt down the end note yourself every time.
