    There is literally no way anyone has heard of or knows about Kautsky except from Reading State and Rev's dunks on him. To go from reading about him in there and concluding that, actually, the loser moron Kautsky is correct is a helluva take.

      Yeah, go there for authors/journalists, not the editors. For some people it's the only rag that'll let them publish.

      Yeah. Its like a lot of left-leaning media in that it can have pretty good articles analyzing economics and healthcare and shit, and then turn around and put out some extra hot garbage-tier imperialist foreign policy shlock piece.

    Yeah idk it says he was "once" a revolutionary. I know Lenin in some point thought of him very highly. I haven't read any of his stuff so idk how valuable it might be, but the impression I got of him from Lenin as well as other people describing him was that he used to be cool until he got brainworms. So that's maybe what the article is saying. But I can't be bothered to read it.
