his style comes across as tawdry jeremiad, and perhaps its the slugs of hegel i've been drinking but there's no reason in his disavowal, its emotive confessional excoriation; where the fetters of personal reaction to individual events corrode ones ability to comprehend the messy complexity of the capitalism arc in toto. discard emotion, put politics in command
good luck sleeping in your procrustean bed, cope-man

no, unfortunately pro wrestlers are quite bad at writing memoirs
Bret Hart's memoir is actually very good because he's so self-serious that he's convinced he is creating an actual historical document.
But then he turns around and starts lying about how awful it was for him to be constantly cheating on his wife with waitresses

Update: After chewing on this for a couple of months, I think I've gestated some responses to Drumm. I no longer believe that his chapter critiquing Marx succeeds, though the rest of the book is still plenty interesting, and I give points for at least making one of the more unique attacks I've seen.
If anyone else here has read chapter 1, let me know. I'm eager to discuss the specifics, but whereas the audience here is fairly sympathetic to my position from the outset, I'd prefer that folks look it over independently; when I attempt to express the arguments alongside arguing against them, I've found the feedback has been a bit less muscular than I've hoped. It's probably just not a good way to absorb an argument, to see it summarized and then immediately attacked.
put it up and i'll give it a whirl!
