He seems to be one of the most hated figures on the online left. From my view, he does have a lot of questionable takes, but also does bring up some good points when it comes to fighting imperialism from a leftist perspective, so I’d like to know what people in this community think about him.
Lol the book has an embarrassing lack of sources for a very large proportion of its claims. At the very least it’s a totally unacceptable way to write a “history book” if you want to be taken seriously.
He also never defines his terms which leads to difficult to follow arguments and nonsensical statements about “slave proletariats”. I really don’t understand why it’s taken so seriously. It is an amateurish work to say the least.
