I think with sufficient investigation and theory-studying, I could come up with a decent Marxist analysis of White Evangelical Christianity in the US. I think I’ve identified the principal contradiction in it. I think I’m seeing how it can barely be considered a “religion” and instead it exists to reinforce settler colonialism, white supremacy, and reaction. Just need to put it all together.

And I fully admit none of this really gets us closer to revolution. This analysis would be less valuable than more effective on-the-ground organizing. But this is a topic that I think about a lot and have an interest in, and applying Marxism to it help me work through my own issues with White Evangelical Christianity.

Nope, just the rack (part of why it was free). There’s actually a lot you can do with just a rack, pull-ups and similar exercises for example.

Meh. Wrote an overrated book about central planning (thesis is that central planning is possible because Walmart and Amazon do it - of course central planning is possible but not for that reason, Phillips kinda misses the point) that spends a chapter devoted to shitting on Stalin.
