By appearances alone, this is the scariest book I own.
I've read the introduction and the first chapter. Concise and informative.

Good discussion of the inherited historical layers of antisemitism and the biological layer that came out of so-called race science, in addition to the history of "Aryan" in late aristocratic French circles; Social Darwinism and eugenics; among others. May do notes to resurrect Substack.

reading an ebook from my library, so don’t have page numbers (tezt size is modifiable, so any page numbering would be arbitrary for my copy)

Short bits to round out the night

I am at a point in this one where I only have Engels’ Condition of the Working Class in England, Marx’s short translation of Peuchet, a fragment of Fourier, and a few short articles by Engels.

On to the Condition of the Working-Class in England

God they’re funny

The Holy Family is hilarious

Peak. The whole chapter on the Labor Charter is 10/10.

Since this one doesn’t have page numbers here on GR, I’ll use the % option.

St. Thomas? Check. Stewardship concept of property? Check. Guild system? Check. Class peace? Check. A moral problem with laissez-faire that seeks to cause that class peace and overcome the bad of capitalism but somehow maintain its relations? Check. Saint-Simon, Fourier, Blanc, and Proudhon? Check, check, check, and check.
I may have found an indisputable gem.

I’ve never read Bukharin’s book on imperialism before. It’s so good.
