Oh, BTW, leaving your book on a 100$ paywall is probably not helping the diffusion of their "not terrible Marxist book". Sure, it's the editor's fault, but as it turns out, they are not following those terrible Marxists who put their own books on libgen themselves, apparently, since it's not there (nor enywhere else). And yes, I am convinced an academic salary in Zurich is already enough of a compensation, at least for a Marxist thinker that thinks her work is indispensable for the cause.
