comprehensive to a fault, despite its brevity. obviously his refutations meant more at the time of their writing, but a hundred-plus years on they feel like petty sniping. sort of a bogus criticism (hindsight 20/20, etc.), but if Lenin could see where the ideologies of thinkers like Kautsy and Proudhon (lmao, who??) ended up even thirty years after the writing of this literally revolutionary ‘pamphlet’ (lmao, what??), he would have felt more than a little silly. that being said: remarkable, stirring, galvanizing work here. hard to overstate how essential these hundred-some pages are to the twentieth century. harder still to imagine that we will ever get someone like him again.
