Total Propaganda: Basic Marxist Brainwashing for the Angry and the Young
Millennials have it bad. In 2017, they face the problems of underemployment, unaffordable housing and economists who write crap columns telling them that it's their fault for taking an Uber to brunch.
Today, the future's so dark, we need night vision goggles, not a few liberal guys shining a torch on a sandwich. Maybe today, we could use the light of Karl Marx.
Marx may not have had much to say about brunch in the twenty-first century, but he sure had some powerful thoughts about where the system of capitalism would land us. Over time, it would produce a series of crises, he said, before pushing the wealth so decisively up, a top-heavy system would come crashing down with a push.
Pushy old communist Helen Razer offers an introduction to the thought of Marx for Millennials, and anyone else tired of wage stagnation, growing global poverty and economists writing desperate columns saying everything would work better, if only we stopped eating sandwiches.
Brunchers of the world must unite! They have nothing to lose but a life lived for the wealth of a few. Both for themselves and their comrades in the Global South, they have a world to win.

Look. Clearly, this work has not earned five stars. Capital Volume one gets five stars. The Prison Notebooks. Not some Marxist twaddle by me. But, knowing that there will soon be persons offering it a very unfair one star, simply because they have read the name "Stalin" on the internet, I reason it is fair to give this introduction to Marxism (with jokes) an unfair rating.
Look. It's really not that bad. It might even be useful to you as an account of present day world systems. It is not a work intended for learned socialists, by the way. A group that, in fine Marxist tradition, will also probably give it one star due to my ambivalent description of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
Anyhoo. DO your worst, kids. I never intended to profit from a book that seeks to critique capitalism. If there's one thing business can't sell well, it is objects that undermine its very practice.
I really just wanted to write an accessible introduction to a thinker perilously ignored. I do hope you find some use for it, whatever your age or commitment to the "free" market.

There's something terribly thrilling about the word 'comrade' and rabble-rouser Razer peppers this excellent Marxism for Millennials book with it.
Don't let that description put you off. I'm 170 and I still got a lot out of it. For example, now I'm able to slay Marxism naysayers with a couple of hefty blows:
* Marxism is a critique of an economic system, not a prescription for government, gulag-style.
* It's all about who owns the means of production; it's always about who owns the means of production.
While light on 'what to do next' (and honestly, if she'd included tips on what to do next, I think it would have diminished the book somehow — stop looking for saviours and easy answers), this is an excellent book for anyone wondering if there's more to the man than growing one hell of a beard (h/t: The Walking Dead).
But mostly you should read it because it's funny. Really really funny.

May be one of the most enlightening books I’ve read.

The full title of this book (Total Propaganda: Basic Marxist Brainwashing for the Angry and the Young) tells it all, really. But this also might turn certain people off… and my advice is: don’t let it do so!!!
Regardless of your thinking on this matter, you will enjoy Razer’s refreshing, funny writing style. Yes, it is also spiced up with expletives, which are the result of a combination of expressing outrage, frustration, comradeship, etc., but also none of this is malicious — indeed, it should serve as a kind of barrier-breaker that helps the reader to objectify the big issues Razer wants us to think about: stop the squirming, and start smiling.
This is not to say that you will not find some disconcerting matters being raised in various sections of this book. Razer wants you to think about what she is proposing — and that means that sometimes one must acknowledge that maybe, just perhaps, we have not been thinking that deeply about favoured presumptions! Time to do so!
Marx’s warnings about excessive economic ideologies are not new, of course — but we do tend to forget about them, especially when so many modern economic theorists keep on telling us (directly and indirectly) to keep on keeping on consuming, planning, profiteering, believing totally and unquestioningly with the excesses of the modern capitalistic system… how else can we achieve success for our much vaunted individual, personal, moral, and other “values” we so earnestly want? (Are we there yet???).
If you have the sneaky feeling that actually we are not progressing very far in our so-called aims and objectives, then this is the book for stopping our consistent worrying, and all our hyper-activity in running faster and harder but apparently not arriving anywhere — stopping, standing aside from the rat-race, if only for a little time, resting, and meditating on where we are at… Are we going the wrong way?
In other words, this is not so much a propaganda book as a meditation book. Whether or not it achieves anything is really for the reader to decide and act upon. The more cynical among us might argue that nothing will change (and that perhaps history tells us that our endeavours are merely despairing acts of “faith” which will not materialise is anything worthwhile); whether that might be so or not is, in my opinion, irrelevant to Razer’s message: stop, and think. If nothing else, it will provide some respite from the hassle of life in the 21st-c; and with Razer’s delightful, refreshing writing, we can all at least smile at our (the West’s?) human (patriarchal?) general Stupidity, and recognise it for what it is. At least we can rest assured that we have been warned.

This book was the best!!! It explains some of Marx's work in a way that's actually understandable (unlike even some other intro to Marx texts). Basically knowing about Marx has changed my life (much like learning about feminism at 20 did). It's like you can't unsee the world through a Marxist lens once you know about the base and the superstructure and materialism etc.
Also the idea that employers pay us as little as they can while ALWAYS extracting more from us than they pay us BLEW MY MIND. I am not anti work I guess but fuck spending our waking hours in this way, in the service of someone else's profit.
And and and the explanation of how capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction.
Tldr read this book comrades

Who doesn’t love a book about Marx? Don’t be a dill - read this brillant and very funny book. Join your fellow Millennial comrades and help us overthrow capitalism so that we might have stable accommodation AND all the smashed av we could ever wish for.

While I have slightly more experience with Marx and critiques of capitalism than the exact target audience of this book, I'm still a crazy and scared Australian millennial looking for a way to get people to listen to me without having them read thousands of pages worth of political essays.
This book is the perfect replacement for my 1 am drunken rambles at birthday parties, even if the jokes may date it a bit in the future. It's an excellent primer and I'm glad to have bought it on a whim.
Hopefully I can remember to go read more of Razer's work now, as a millennial I never really grew up reading traditional print media that weren't novels or textbooks, but if anywhere is a place to start it would be reading her columns.

At the airport, I temporarily dithered between buying this or three Terrible Magazines for ten bucks. Obviously no regrets. I am not the target audience (Millennial) nor in need of convincing about why we need Marx or that capitalism sucks. Which probably partly explains why I enjoyed this a lot. Other explanations: Helen Razer is funny, her long form writing here is better than her columns (always worth reading but nevertheless beholden to the genre) and she always has a fresh spin, even on her own rehashed jokes. Plus, Marx.

I don’t know what to make of this book. I’ve read it twice now and I keep coming away with very mixed feelings. I start off enthusiastic - I’m sympathetic to the ideals - but I end with a very wary feeling. And that leaves me unable to even say anything. So I get to the point of trying to write a review and not quite knowing what to say.
As I said, I am sympathetic - and increasingly so - to the view points. I can feel the walls that capitalism has constructed around me. But I am also very aware that I am almost completely privileged compared to even most people in Australia let alone the rest of the world. Razor builds an argument that while discrimination of all sorts is painful and important, class is more important. And she keeps losing me while making this argument. The most egregious example is her support for the class anxiety theory of Trump’s victory as opposed to racism. This is a point of view I am never going to agree with and it undermines my ability to be convinced by the back third of her book.
So, first two thirds, great. Last third … your milage may vary.

Actually the book fulfills the promise given in the title.
It is total propaganda and it is brainwashing or at least an attempt of it.
My low rating I justify with my expectation, that reading this book I will learn something about Marx's proposition for this troubled world.
After some 40 pages I lost any hope.
I acknowledge a good knowledge of Das Kapital and last US election and probably many other issues.
Disclaimer - I am not a Millennial.

Challenging and fun. I've been challenging my economic based ideologies for some time now and this book appeared in my timeline on twitter around the same time I thought 'I need to read more about socialism and Marxism'. I think my phone has hacked my brain. I would give a copy of this to every 17y.o. It's important to challenge entrenched systems which oppress and reduce human life to dollar signs. Bring on the revolution!

I am completely surprised by how brilliant I found this!
It is for sure aimed at a younger audience than myself, but as someone totally new to Marxism it hit the right notes. It was engaging, informative and actually very funny. I liked how it contextualised some of the ideology against current politics and simplified the ideas without me as a reader feeling completely thick.
*I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Good, funny and easy to read. One of the most easy/entertaining Marxism texts I’ve read but I would definitely warn that Razer sometimes sounds like my mum explaining a meme that went viral 5 years ago (she referenced I can haz cheeseburger as if it’s at all relevant these days).
Also she emphasises ‘thinking’ as political activism as opposed to actually doing stuff which I’m not entirely on board with. Regardless it’s good and I learnt a reasonable amount whilst having a jolly time. What more can I ask for

Despite being a nicely-renumerated cog in the capitalist machine, I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Solid and accessible primer/refresher on Marxism, with some great discussion of the ideas in the context of the US election/centrism/etc.
January 12, 2019
An excellent introduction to Marxism for younger players. Worth a re-read too which makes me wonder if there’ll be a follow up book...? There should be!
September 14, 2019
I would have given this 5 stars, but I found the style gimmicky and distracting. To my knowledge, my fellow Millennials and I understand plain English and do actually use it. This technique was very cringey. But I got the point, eventually. I’ll do the further recommended reading.

Hilarious and astute political observations and an excellent introduction to Marxist theory for anyone who wants to change the world.

An excellent (funny) introduction to Marx for ley worker who doent like squinting her eyes and brain to grasp what can be a super complicated theory of economic.

September 27, 2017an accessible intro to some marxist concepts with options for further reading. mostly succeeds in its attempts at humour, although - being largely reliant on understanding memes - they will likely be completely unintelligible in ten years. much of the book is similarly bound to present events, but this is a strength: making direct links between an obtuse literature and What It Means Right Now is super useful.

Meh. El libro simplemente no logró conectar conmigo. Aunque mis inclinaciones políticas abarcan un amplio espectro, incluyendo elementos de ideologías de izquierda como el socialismo, el marxismo e incluso ciertos aspectos del comunismo, no encontré lo que buscaba en este libro. Tampoco aprendí nada nuevo, y el estilo de escritura y el tono aplicado a este tema no fueron de mi agrado. No cabe duda de que la autora tiene un toque de humor que me gustó, pero a pesar de ello no pude continuar y tuve que dejarlo en el quinto capítulo.
Tal vez retome la lectura más adelante. Por ahora este libro no es para mí.

A very enjoyable, thought-provoking read for anyone who has a beef with capitalism (this really should be almost everyone). I'm a good 10+ years post arts degree, and needed a bit of a sharpen up on all of the concepts discussed, there really wasn't one dud chapter in this whole book, and many times when I passed it over to my partner with an urgent, "Start here, read this, it's what we were sort of talking about the other day but, like, well said." Read it, read it soon. If your bookclub loved "The Wife Drought" then next time it's time to do a non-fiction read, step it up with this book, you won't be disappointed.
PS Do not try to read any decluttering/minimalism/budgeting books for a good few months after this, they will cause you to seethe - Really capitalism? You'd like me to do more with less? You think I'm alienated from/by my stuff because I'm just not organised enough...

Comrade ! It's a good time pass !
Witty & amusing. Liberal use of F-words. Great revision of Marxist concepts in plain F-english. I hope that Helen didn't want any of the readers to take this book as a serious pre-cursor to any revolutionary thought. I see this book as a funny discourse on a serious topic.
What I loved most about this book was Helen's expression and how she discussed 'historical materialism' and 'alienation' in a language which could be easily understood.
What I didn't like about this book was an attempt to drive authority from Marx as an individual. Felt like blatant person worship.
For such a controversial topic driving authority from Marx as an individual is never going to work ( Yes, blatant generalisation).
Nevertheless, it's an awesome read.

I have (tried to) read quite a few Marxist texts and this is probably the first that has actually been interesting and relatively easy to read without dumbing down the concepts too much. Plus it contains a decent sprinkling of Razer’s usual hilarity.
July 6, 2018
Having studied computer science and worked in the entertainment industry, I've had to learn history, economics and politics via ad-hoc and extracurricular means. I'm catching up, but gaping holes remain, and one of those holes was Marx-shaped. So when I saw that Helen Razer had written an accessible book about his thought, I dropped everything and immediately started waiting for the self-narrated audiobook, of which this is a review.
I have faint but fond teenage memories of Razer's hilarious exasperated rants on triplej, and have recently been enjoying her tweets, and the first couple of paragraphs in her Crikey articles above the paywall... wait a sec - I just checked her Wikipedia page and realised that she is turning 50 as I write these very words. Happy birthday Helen!! (balloon emoji)
This book delivered on my expectations for both distilled theory and ranty exasperation. As a not-quite-millennial my growing awareness of economic precariousness came less at the entering-the-workforce phase and more at the worrying-about-my-kids phase. As such at some points in this book I was feeling almost sick at the state of the world as described therein. It's quite a comedown after reading Pinker's excellent, if rose-tinted, Enlightenment Now recently.
I'm not now a convert, but this book gave me much better impression of Marx, I think in particular because Razer focuses more on his economic and social theory and how it relates to capitalism as it manifests in the modern world. She refers to capitalism's coming decline and the inevitable need for state smashing but doesn't go into detail about how exactly that's supposed to happen. So, not a lot of history nor blueprints for revolution, but it's not a big book and it's pretty up front about this.
I found myself at the end with a lot of nagging questions. Why can't capitalists keep growing their profits with ever more efficient robots? I didn't quite understand why human labour is key to profit growth, or is it that you need at least some solvent employed humans to consume the products? This is a technicality I guess, clearly something is unsustainable about growing automation and the need to keep everyone employed for their survival.
Something about capitalism - or free markets - has been very successful, and not just for the elite. I'd rather live now than before the industrial revolution. But I'm not sure exactly what it is. There's a baby there among the disposable capitalistic bathwater. I guess what I'm wondering is how collective ownership of the means of production would practically work on a global scale. I'm sure other authors have covered this, but if Razer is considering a sequel, this would make an interesting discussion, though necessarily much more speculative. This book does come with a generous list of further reading recommendations though.
There's a lot more to this book to make it worth the read, including fresh tangents into the Trump phenomenon and feminism. It's also disarmingly personal, bleak, sweary and funny.
If like me you find it comforting to try to understand what on earth is going on right now by reading a wide variety of perspectives, add this Marxist one to your list.

This is great. Though I can't be described as young any more, I am definitely angry, and am relishing the thought of lots of actually-young people getting Marxed up and developing the ability to identify the structural causes for their generalised sense of frustration and rage.
I of course have a few small quibbles, such as the insistence that "true communism cannot be declared a disaster, because it has never been tried" (an awful lot of people have really seriously intended to try it, and if they didn't manage to actually do it then I don't see how we're going to fare any better), BUT this is not the place to air them. Down the pub over a worker-owned ethically-brewed beverage would be a much better option. The aim of the book is to encourage critical thinking, the asking of questions and the having of economically-informed arguments, and I am sure it will do plenty of that. Bravo.

Fan-fucking-tastic. A great entry point into Marxism and why Capitalism and Neo-Liberalism are trash ideas for trash people. If you've tried to get into Marxist theory before but found texts written by Marx to be... long. Give this a shot instead. Great stuff.
