Wooooohooo I finally finished all four of these damn books!! And this one was like almost twice as long and I fuckin swear to god the type was EVEN SMALLER so it should count as fuckin two books but whatever.

Despite small type was still siiiick and maybe my second favorite. super enlightening chapters on the social world of the working classes in the 1910s-30s and discussion of culture under communism vs. capitalism.

But esp loved the 70’s-91 part cuz that’s all this deterioration really started. And towards the end hes talking about the new millennium and hes like man seems like theres a lot of mass shootings in America, and it seems like the undermining of public sector govt’s unable to deal with true catastrophes, and the ever growing strength of capital is sabotaging nations and their democracies all over the world, and frustrated populations may drift towards demagogues.
I mean fuck you are you kidding me!! We could see all this shit in 1991 and we could barely even begin to THINK ABOUT doing anything about it in 30 years!! F*@&$%%#$#ck!!!!!
