Durable Inequality

Rejoice Comrades!

I have been reading the most magnificent book Durable Inequality by Charles Tilly. It is an exploration of the reasons why inequalities persist over time between categories. Why am I reading it you ask? Well, the Revolutionary Council has started a book club, and our Council leader had suggested that this would be a good place to start... He also mentioned something about it being good research into how to cause new inequalities to keep the Feds down after the Revolution...

At any rate Comrades, I would say that this read is a good example of an extension of Karl Marx's Social Conflict Theories; however, it doesn't explain why there shouldn't be a Revolution. This is a serious lack in his argument.

Rejoice Comrades! Soon after the Revolution, you will be reading this book too!
