I just hate when it's applied to books. The most communist thing I can say is to read more books and harder books. The more books I read, the more communist I become. Anti-intellectualism needs to be directed at the things that hold us back from learning in liberating ways. I'll never trust anyone who tells me education is useless or reading books for adults is somehow bad. It's such a reactionary framework to adopt in a society that uses anti-intellectualism to oppress us. We're specifically alienated from those things and the time to learn or enjoy them because they're powerful if we can use them.
