Everyone should read this book in order to understand the thought process giving rise to geopolitical collectivism. It is extremely interesting that historical information presented to support the need for communism is misrepresented, either accidentally (by mistake) or on purpose (a lie). For example, the authors state that the Industrial Revolution caused widespread destitution and wage-slave misery by removing European / UK workers from their agrarian lives in the country. The reality is that literal starvation and death from disease were often widespread before the Industrial Revolution.
