I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

It helped that while reading this book, I had Alexei's voice in my head, from deranged apoplexy to soft thoughtfulness. He's humorous, but as with much comedy adapted from standup routines, it's infinitely better hearing it being performed, so I again recommend checking out his radio show 📻🤣

"Here, I'll tell you what I hate - Fascism! I can't stand it, me, I think it's really, really terrible. I do. I think it's bang out of order. That's just me, though. You might like it, you might think it's OK. Indeed, you might be a fan of radical authoritarian nationalism but I think you'd be wrong."
[Said in a loud, thick Scouse accent, softening to a matey tone, one eyebrow raised ?]

"John Maynard Keynes said, "When the facts change, I change my opinion." But when you're in a cult, when the facts change, you change the facts! To the end of her life my mother would never admit that there was anything wrong with the Soviet Union. The most she would admit was, "Mistakes were made." But as she used to say, "You can't make an omelette without murdering forty million people.""

Bookwomble Alexei wrote this in 2017. The linked article is from the same year. Both, sadly, even more relevant now:

I love Alexei Sayle's Imaginary Sandwich Bar radio show. There isn't much Marxist comedy on the BBC (or anywhere else, probably!), so where else am I going to get ideologically sound laughs? ✊🏻🚩😂
Most of all, he's funny, and if you need some dark, absurdist humour in your life, I encourage you to listen to Alexei:
