    A very good essay in terms of the ideas it conveys but unfortunately poorly written, very inaccessible on account of its overly pretentious language. Even most academically educated leftists are going to struggle to read a piece like this. This is the exactly the kind of language that we should not be using if we want to write for a broad audience. It comes across as the author trying to show off how many complex words they know and how many references to history and philosophy they can pack in without explaining any of them. It comes off elitist and off-putting. 9/10 for content, 1/10 for style.
