A great book, easy to read, though parts (for instance the first section contrasting the German concept of Kultur with the French concept of civilization) were dealing with unfamiliar questions which are perhaps dated. Keep in mind, this was written ...more

This may be a great book, if the reader already knows a lot about Bismarck and 19th century Germany. However, as i picked it up hoping to learn about both -- and also hoping for an enjoyable read -- i was really disappointed. The author glides over e ...more

“The fact is that the system in the metropole reproduces itself through an ongoing offensive against the people’s psyche, not in an openly fascist way, but rather through the market.

Therefore, to write off entire sections of the population as an impediment to anti-imperialist struggle, simply because they don’t fit into Marx’ analysis of capitalism, is as insane and sectarian as it is un-Marxist.”
