I mean there's just an incredible amount of insight in these pages, it's unreal. I only give it 4 instead of 5 stars because there are admittedly some long sections where I have no idea what he's on about (something something universalizing the totality of the contradictory phenomenon that is both the limit and the beginning of the particular, which is also the universal) but then when I get back on the tracks it's absolutely amazing. I'd probably skip the Vietnam chapter but definitely read the chapter where he talks about the role of intellectuals.
