Not even kidding.

There is actually a lot of good advice in this book, self criticism and personal struggle sessions have helped me a lot in tempering my views and actions and view things from different perspectives. I gained a lot more self awareness after reading it and I now have far better relationships with others around me.

I'm not a Maoist as well, read it just because its one of the most popular books on earth.

It's weird how they've largely vanished off the face of the earth after every 60s radical owned one and the black panthers used to sell them.

I've never seen a single copy in a used book store or thrift store.

Even the radical library that's run by the Maoists in my area doesn't have any copies.

Marxism of both stripes is now dead, so there is no longer political capital to be gained by proclaiming your allegiance to one or the other school thereof.

Deng was a Marxist, brah. Albeit the shitty orthodox kind, but a Marxist nonetheless.

Gonzalo was right about making war on the left, If reactionaries are paper tigers, social democrats and anarkids really are the enemies of the working class.

If Marxism is alive and well for Rightists, but every Leftist sees themselves as the one true apostle.

isn't that kill the left though?

Any minor disagreement leads to absolute hostility among them.

Nrx, NatSocs, Conservatives, Christians, Monarchists, Nationalists-a-dozen certainly criticize each other, but damned if they don't work together.
