What theory I read is heavily influenced by what I can find as an audiobook.

Boring to read, almost intentional opaque language, and I feel like someone should go through and write a bunch of modernized, punchy, clear versions of core theory to make shit more accessible and I’m not saying people aren’t smart enough to get it, more that making people go through a gigantic bramble patch to get to your house, and then making them climb through a second story window instead of clearing the brambles and unlocking the door is obstructionist and means you’re a terrible host.

Cause like, I don’t think a lot of core leftist ideas are as complicated as we make them, like Marx’s explanation of the labor theory of value (and I say this loving the man dearly) is a fucking terrible explanation of a great idea.
