I just started reading this out of curiosity and it really feels like it could be a strong supplement for reading ML theory. Has anyone else given it a read? What are your thoughts?

We had a book club of this book a while ago, but the short response is I like this book. The only thing you have to get used to is the massive amount of annotations. I remember some people in the book club complaining about them, but the annotations are genuinely good.

Yeah it's a little comical how you'll get one sentence then 3 pages of annotation then another sentence with 2 more pages of annotation. The annotations are good though like you said!

Lots of good clarity on terms right in the introduction alone. The glimpses into Ho Chi Minh Thought is also really interesting. It's a good reminder that no socialist revolution will be the same, and that each will be shaped by it's existing material conditions.
