How is it shit prose? The book reads unbelievably smoothly. Is it perfect? No, but her book is all about ideas over just telling a silly story.

I do agree, she is the best of the 20th CE by a long shot in many ways.

Doesn't have to be cultural Marxist propaganda. Can be economic Marxist propaganda.

More seriously, though, Marxism isn't the only alternative to batshit "greed is the only moral good" corporatocracy.
