  • Not books per se but authors: I find both Marx and Fanon very tedious to read. Their prose is awkward and I feel like the text is fighting my brain when I try to read them.

    This is not a slight against their ideas, just their writing.

    It should also be noted I’ve read neither in their original language, just translations, so it’s I entirely possible this is just the fault of translators. I don’t think it is for Marx though, because even when I read Engels or Lenin and they block-quote Marx the text automatically gets :wtf-am-i-reading:

    In prison Ocalan became a theory head, and he synthesized a kind of hodge-podge anarcho-feminist revolutionary theory that Rojava is ostensibly based on. I’m not familiar with the specific quote but in context this is likely about challenging the assumed role of men in society to uplift women’s position.
