As someone who has read those 5 books, and the next 5, and the next 5 and so on, those people never go away. There’s always 5 more books. I still recommend those books but in my experience they’re almost always in-group signalling and not coming up with a new synthesis of the material as understood through their own unique experiences as a worker. Actually those people will be the first to tell you that experience doesn’t matter its actually their experience reading books that matters. If you haven’t read them and agree, then that’s fine; if you have read them and disagree then you haven’t read them good enough, or read these other books for the appropriate context.
“The traditions of dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the minds of the living.” is as true for the left as it is any other tradition.
