  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

If someone can't bother to read a single Parenti book, or even just listen to their comrades, I believe the main issue is a lack of motivation and commitment, not accessibility. No one expects you to read das Kapital before getting involved.

Some people aren't readers for reasons other than lack of commitment. This isn't welcoming.

or even just listen to their comrades

But those of us who can read should so we can be as effective as possible.
