I hate to be rude to these people, but you start talking about Actually Existing Socialist Countries and all of sudden you feel like you’re talking to a libertarian who hates prisons. And I’m like have you read any of these… and its like nah.
That’s why I often don’t really suggest Naomi Klein and Bullshit Jobs because they are great points of entryism, but they just give permission for westerners to still have no historical understanding of the world around them. Spouting off about Totalitarianism.
what is annoying, that graeber been to global south, so him talking about bullshit jobs and not noticing that people doing marketing work on the best packaging for coffee in the midwest market for 6 months do be kinda dependent on kenya salary level.
