"not to be a misandrist but the reason this book has been slow going is I'm finding it difficult to invest myself in this man. He needs to go and take a fucken shower. Maybe I would be more sympathetic if I imagined him in my bed instead of the one my brain has created for it. I'm really liking the bits where he retells Fenian stories though, fantastically beautiful and unusual prose." — Jan 15, 2023 05:31PM

"very good but a bit of a mixed bag tbh. lots of really vital analysis/interpretation of Marx, some interesting conclusions and some very dubious conclusions. some analysis which is very dated and now seems very short sighted - especially the section on how there "is no longer any need to preach against the 'work ethic'". if only!" — Jul 04, 2020 09:19AM

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.

[These words are also inscribed upon his grave]”
― Eleven Theses on Feuerbach
“The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.”
