Why is class conciousness in the USA so low? Why has it not progressed in so many years? Will be in a forever "We are not ready for a revolution due to lack of class conciousness" stage? (lemmygrad.ml)

Your local library most likely, it’s a fairly common book.

If you meant online, there are free pdfs available.

Here is an HTML version with a clickable table of contents.

I highly doubt most local libraries carry a copy of Settlers. Where are you seeing this?

At home in Belarus, and my time traveling and living in the Northeast and West Coast of the United States. I spend a lot of time in the political science part of libraries and I see it pretty commonly. Maybe not all small local libraries will carry it, but starting from a medium sized library, to large ones, its pretty common.

I have also never not seen Settlers in a university library, which are open to the public where I have been.

I just checked my city's library and my alma mater's and neither have it, though at least my alma mater recognizes that it exists. But it also says there are no libraries nearby from which to request it.

That sucks. Most of the university libraries I’ve been to have been pretty good at collecting a bunch of the more unheard of pamphlets and socialist works.

Granted, I was in the more left leaning areas of the United States.
