“ChatGPT: write a review of the new Marx books by Leipold and Hartman from the perspective of the sectarian Trotskyists at WSWS.”
If you'd like to read a review of my book where I am accused of holding "petty-bourgeois political sensibilities" (yes you read that correctly)--well, then, do I ever have a review for you!

Two new books on Marx and Marxism
What both books avoid is precisely what Marx insisted upon: that the liberation of humanity requires the political independence of the working class and the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism.
