re: #frankenstein Mary Wollstonecraft was a big part of my feminist awakening. Her indignation really spoke to me. She used the same Enlightenment language as the founding fathers, which we all learned in school but also as a nerdy political teen I paid extra attention in American history class

#frankenstein Wollstonecraft, like other Enlightenment thinkers, still believed in the soul, but counted reason (developed through education) as a moral virtue - one denied to women. if women have souls like men, they have a right to pursue the same virtues, she argued

And why is it no store ever has volume 2 of Capital? Been looking for years...

I'm interested in reading "the Worker's Kapital".
Isn't part of our schism in America the fact that the proletariat is tired of intellectuals telling them what's good for them?

Definitely interested in Frankenstein and Bugonia. I make my popcorn in an old wok that is exclusively for that purpose. It makes a paper grocery bag's worth. 🤤

Thank you for sharing the article.
I received more Marxist theory in the month that lived in the Catholic Worker's house than I have in 25 yrs of union membership.
