It’s great, he tries to carry over the most literal translation of the original Greek possible, while still leaving the strange, almost amateurish style of the writing intact
It’s called communist because some of what Christ says sounds pretty blatantly communist when it isn’t softened through translation-by-committee
As a non-communist I still highly recommend it, it’s a very interesting read
