To be fair, What is to be Done? is absolutely drenched in terminology and context hyper-specific to the time period it was written. Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is by comparison clearer IMO, but as always reading in a group is the best way to read theory. If you want to read theory, and have a group near you or online, I think that’s an excellent way to go about it!
Fair, lol. That happened to me with Capital volume 2, so now that it’s wrapped up this late I missed volume 3. Gonna focus on more classic works I’ve missed before returning to Capital. Reading takes a lot of energy to keep up with, especially if it’s for study and not for pleasure.
