Neo-liberalism is based,

As per introduction to volume one :)

Pings were not enough to keep me on the track it seems, so I only noticed the post itself in my feed now and went omfg about missing out on that. Gotta go fast.

Thanks for making this reading group!

I don't have the capacity to join, but still wanted to say that I think this is a cool idea and that I wish you all the best regarding it!

Also I find the interaction/integration with Hexbear regarding this kinda wholesome ~w~

[–] A_cook_not_a_chef@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'm in. I attempted this on my own a year or two ago and did not make it all the way through. It will be nice to have folks to discuss with.

Somehow I never saw this manuscript before. I already am respectively skeptical of a few statements, totally must read!

I think now that Im reading the introductions again (at least the "20years after") after having read all of section A, I understand many more references and things are kind of clearer😅

Those intros had kinda slowed me down back when I had started reading it

Tomorrow's Sunday and a perfect day for reading! (Too hot to do anything else anyway)

[–] xiwi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Scrap that, I've been reading it during work so i can get paid for it lmao.

Not much to say about the intro, nice introduction, likewise for the first part. I like them hammering on the fact that these social theorists didn't really invent the ideas, they put the discussions that were held by people in to writing, ironically if we focus too much on the writers and theorists (without discredeting them!), we can fall in the same "great man theory" style thinking.

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah and lets you know that theres a community behind keep it alive, not a handful of "expert authorities"

Flying to Sweden tomorrow, the epub is so ready on my (de-amazoned) Kindle! Thanks, @irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

If there's any problems with it, let me know!
I had to edit it a bit manually because the script i used for it was pretty crap.
