      They aren’t making fun of you for having read The Conquest of Bread.

      They are making fun of you for thinking that was enough.

          Currently I am reading the island of the day before by Umberto Eco.

          Its pretty good, but not his best.

            What did you think after reading The Conquest of Bread?

              I’m not sure I thought just 1 thing about it when I finished it. Can you be more specific in your question?

              Go easy on me now, I haven’t read it in probably 14 years. You would probably get more of asking me about “Red Victory!”, and its portion on the early months of famine.

                I don’t know of Red Victory. Just wondering if you identified with the anarchist aspects of the book? Or, would you recommend The Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn instead?

                  In general I find democratic socialism to work better than anarchism, and I think the majority of people will never accept anarchism of any form, though I think rural areas are much more capable of experimentation over cities.

                  But to get back to the original point, theory is where it stops for a lot of people. They have no true ability to practice leftism in any meaningful context, and I think they hold it against the rest of us who have found ways to accomplish that within the system.

                    Maybe lift your head from the book and take a look outside. Your accomplishments within the system are failing. Maybe try reading Social Reform or Revolution? by Luxemburg. It’s not a long read.

      You got downvoted for defending education. We truly live in “interesting” times.
