it's funny how many committed leftists have the cultural tastes of, like, a 19th century minor aristocrat or bourgeois. they love reading balzac and trollope, read the financial press, listen to orchestral music and operas.

That’s me except for the opera. And Marx, Lenin, and Adorno too. As Bob Fitch said, the bourgeoisie takes poor care of its culture so it’s up to the Marxists.

I don’t read Trollope, though
@lfeatherz does. I’m more of an Americanist - reading Melville’s Confidence-Man now.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
Trollope is good, very readable, entertaining, incisive on social divisions.
