maybe if you spent less time reading all this theory and more time chasing that bag you wouldn't need communism to save you

You literally posted this yesterday.

And you didn’t even take off the dumb shit like Bloch, Benjamin, Lefebvre, and Tronti.

If you are going to just keep reposting the same shit, could you at least explain to us why a couple of these are actually important to read. What exactly does ilyenkov and Bonefeld bring to the table? Surely if you are recommending them you actually know why.

Backhaus has like one article translated to English and it's dense and totally unnecessary to read. Postone is also missing and his book is far more substantial
