Problems with this article

[edit]
  • The phrase "labelled by some as communist propaganda" originates in an amateur website ([1]) that only mentions the work in passing, hence probably the weasel words. It does not occur in the National Review article previously also cited for it, which also has only a passing mention of the book, but treats it in a much fairer way as a "Marxist tract" (which it is).

I've indicated these specific problems with inline tags; not a pretty solution, but I'm not prepared to enter an edit war over this. FNAS (talk) 15:32, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's been no reply in 10 days, and we just got a much longer analysis of the book, I've removed the "propaganda" bit. FNAS (talk) 08:34, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

National bias in book

[edit]

If I remember the story correctly, the authors were socialists and picked up examples ridiculizing socialism and third world struggles, claiming they were coming from a Western, imperialist agenda. However, people looked up the original stories, and found that many of the examples actually lacked the references cited in their original versions, and they were added by the local Chilean translators. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 15:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
