    Its author was a paid propagandist and a snitch who reported queers, jews, and other minorities as well as communists to the British state. It belongs to the right and is a caricature politics at best. This should be obvious from the way far right governments like the US make kids read it.

        Zeroth of all, this is Lemmy, not Mastodon; followers aren’t a thing here. And first of all, follower-shaming is cringe.
