Read with my mutual aid group's book club. The collectively written style was highly engaging. The aspect of the book that struck me the most was how willing to be completely and utterly honest the writers were, how much effort was put into critically thinking about which bourgeois and petit bourgeois ideas they had been indoctrinated with, and how ruthlessly, and thoroughly they all worked together as a group to counter and remove them. A depressing aspect of reading it, almost 50 years later, is how much of the book could be written now. A great book for discussion, and an excellent model for how organizations can hold themselves accountable by intense, honest introspection.
