RE: Looking Backwards!

Before I bite into this, I'd like to make sure we're at least in the same ball-park.

Do you know of a less than 1000 word summary that highlights what you consider "the important highlights" or perhaps a link to a video essay that you consider a "fair summary" that's 30 minutes or less?

What I'm focused on is identifying PRIMARY AXIOMS. And it would seem like a ridiculous waste of time for me to sift through an entire book in order to distill it down to two or three simple sentences, which you may or may not even agree with!

Maybe we could just skip to the part where you explain what you think are the "key points".

Keep working, stop paying.

I was not ready to be a communist.
I had read some of the other works, Proudhon, Kropotkin, Goldman, Berkman, but this book pulled it all together.
I stopped being ancom after reading this.
It's no wonder nobody mentions it.

Here are some axioms that set me to thinking, some years ago.
'Cause nothing that is difficult for another to experience' seems to have been lost on him/them.

Good gods. 58 AXIOMS seems excessive. I'll take some time to condense your Gish Gallop.

Lol, many, many books, so little time, and still we won't know what we don't know, nor that we don't know that we don't know it.

'Cause nothing that is difficult for another to experience' seems to have been lost on him/them.

This is the "sunk-cost" fallacy (a pervasive type of cognitive bias).

Well, exposure to that exact axiom caused me to be less abrasive, if you can imagine.

Please explain.

Before encountering my glaring issues, I was a jerk.
Still kinda am.
Just less abrasive, now.
Mostly.
I blame my upbringing.
