It's helpful to have a grounding in basic Marxist vocabulary and 19th/20th European history in general, especially the various commie uprisings, that's the absolute basic stuff. It's helpful to understand that the text is part of a continental tradition in "dude it's all an illusion lmao" which can be traced to Descartes and which continues with Baudrillard.
