I'm in the first or second chapter of graeber 's Dawn of Everything, and the unearned arrogance the Europeans display to the indigenous Americans is constantly thrown back in their faces.

"You don't feed the hungry, even when when you have food to spare?"

"The only reason your men obey you is because you compel them with fear of violence?"

He goes on to argue that "enlightenment" ideals of human freedom and equality entered the primitive European brainpan through their experiences with truly free people who actually embraced equality. It's a fun read

Dawn of Everything is the first book I would hand to a lib if I was going to try and turn them into a Marxist. Gotta shake those “west is best” and “muh human nature” brainworms first before you will get anywhere, IMO

I start with “Bullshit jobs”, because it’s an easy and cathartic read/listen.
