As an aside, The "Contain" podcast is great. Lots of interviews with lots of unusual intellectual people.
What is the intention of this comment? That Debord is “far right” or a reactionary? That people who read him are? That it’s interesting that a Marxist philosopher is read by reactionaries?
This happens a lot if you read books that aren't bestsellers.
