Even though I agree with him, I really don't see a reason one should read this book apart from being a tankie.

I thought it was pretty boring, it's just the early Soviet Union told as a parable, there's nothing more to it than that. It must have pretty timely in 1945 though.

It's shallow and silly, just like '84, bur for kids and not teenagers.

Since the Cold War they've been spinning it as a parable against "Bad Commie Dictatorship™" in general, never even touching the difference between Trots and Stalinists. Hell, I doubt 90% of burger students would even recognize the name Trotsky.

Most people who read it don't know shit about Orwell and think it's anti-left.

By this logic people like Richard Spencer are exactly like Hitler. Why are poltards so dumb /lit/?

Interesting analogy since Spencer is literally a Trotskyite/Duginite

Read Homage to Catalonia, his essays, and 1984. He hates "communism" because communism at the time was a guise for brutal Russian imperialism. He admires the actual populist revolutionaries. The 'hope is with the proles.'

there's nothing to redpill, its a decent book for teenagers that adequately illustrates the stupidity of M-L beliefs. All the faggot marxists saying otherwise are just revisionists who want to seize power and rayp, murder and pillage. Just like all the pseud rw's on this board are revisionists, cowards and also want to pillage, steal, burn, murder and rayp at will. All of these ideologies are soaked in the blood of millions. Liberalism too, conservatism as well. If you attach to any of them you're a weakling and shouldn't be taken seriously. If you don't believe me go on Necrometrics, Democide sites and look at the sourced information on Hitler and Stalin, Mao and Tito, the Nationalists in China, Imperialist Japan's kill counts. They're staggering numbers. Statism is evil, its something that psychopaths create so they can rayp and steal and murder. Every single time a new form of Statism is created its an excuse to do those 3 things.
