This book is quite good so far, but I am taking a break from it to read some other stuff first!

Just found out that Mosley's fascists at Cable Street whined and cried for their "free speech" too. Lmao.

The book is decent so far. Interesting and inspiring (and really fucking sad and infuriating) history that makes you want to go straight out and bash the fash. However, I'm left a little cold by inadequte/off the mark definitions of fascism. But that's par for the course I guess.

the main body of text in this book is actually 340 pages, so i'm really 40 pages from the end.

Book is impeccable so far. My impression is that I would def recommend reading this before the Gelderloos book.

this book has 247 pages. i don't know why Goodreads says it has 200.

"...a machine is a turd of the mind with wheels."

this book is melting the face off my skull.

"The Vampyre" was whatever. "Carmilla" was great! I ordered Le Fanu's "In a Glass Darkly" collection as a result of reading it. Now, onto "Dracula"...

this book is awful. i can't believe some people make a career out of producing drivel like this. i'm hoping to find the time and energy to write a full review when i'm done. the tl;dr version: don't fucking bother with this one. read ANY of his source materials before you throw moments of your life away on this journalistic, middle class liberal, tech apologist pap.

this shreds. history nerds and civilization haters, hark!
