Agreed! Redsails has so many good articles that are low buy-in length and difficulty collected just for this. The "tankies" one is also an all time classic. The one by Nia about transformation, relating her being trans to being a tankie, is also powerful

Also this quote from the linked text was a real click for me: "On my view, the core Marxist insight is the following: Feudal lords were the masters of feudalism. Capitalists, however, aren’t the masters of capitalism. They are merely the high priests of capitalism. The master of capitalism is Capital itself."
