What is the strength of Bob Black's writings, if it's not in the way he writes. Abolition of work is quotable as all fuck, and the critiques of Bookchin got wit and humor that you rarely (if ever) see in anything vaguely Marxist. How do people constantly push empty theorizing and tales of how the proletariat will or should rise up, in that dry 19th century science, when there's biting polemic that reveals a ton of leftist to be boring wanna-be managers of work?
Bob Black is a snitch doesn't faze me, Bob Black is a fascist gives me a chuckle, Bob Black is an asshole, sure... but the guy doesn't write well? What?

this comment has been living rent free in my head for hours i dont get this take at all either, when i first read abolition of work i was expecting something dry and boring but surprisingly it was actually well written and thought provoking unlike most theory i have come across that i had to like force myself to read just so i could get what the ideas were.
