    Liberalism: A Counter history is honestly a pretty cruisy read, I recommend it to any budding hexbears. Much easier than Capital Vol. 1.

      it can be a bit dry but yeah nothing like Capital

      Half the book is just a laundry list of venerated liberal thought leaders’ horrific takes and actions, and much needed historical analysis dividing those genuinely radical elements of early liberal-aligned movements from the ideological liberals who just loved to rationalize slavery and any other form of oppression they found useful
