Helen Keller was a socialist

This author's portrayal of Buddhism is, surprisingly, mostly correct, although it's a very simplified outlook on the religion for the sake of brevity. He's wrong when he says that Buddhism can be a complete replacement for psychiatric medicine, though--I'll talk about that later on down the line when I review the book

I changed my mind, this isn't essential reading for all leftists and I'll explain why once I finish the book

Love that he profiles Emma Goldman in this book--She's one of my personal heroes. I'm a little worried about the author's portrayal of antipsychotic medicine in this book, but it seems like he goes out of his way to say that he only opposes it to treat Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Surely that isn't the proper use of this medicine so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt

Required reading for all leftists

I have really enjoyed learning about the various anti-authoritarians that this book covered. About half way through, the book surprised me with going on an in depth rant about how psychiatry and the drugs used to treat various things are bs. I felt like it came out of nowhere. I am aware of the various ways that psychiatry has been used as a weapon against people who were acting justly. . .
