I’ve read it twice and I didn’t like it it as much the second time but it is a must read. As to translation, opinions vary . I’ve been perfectly happy with Constance Garnetts old translation but it has its detractors.
You constantly confuse socialism with communism. I doubt it's an accident. For everybody else, they are two completely different animals. Canada and England are socialist. The Soviet Union used to be communist, now it's just fascist which is really what old style communism was. Even communism isn't what it once was in, say, China which is doing remarkably well at the moment under central planning by Xi, so we'll neo-conservative Trump is planning to impose a 100 percent "beautiful" tarrif on everything they make. Don't know about Dusty, but there is a movie version of "The Brothers . . " with William Shatner playing the monk. Just in case someone needs the short version.
