Or do bookstores only stock right wing books? The most "left" book I can find at this Books A Million is the latest from Bernie Sanders ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Depends on the brand. For example PewDiePie has a video format about books. Also I know local fascists in France had a thing with reading a lot of books. Reading makes one look smart. The catch is, that conservative literature is super digestible, with a required reading level never above high school.

We need books like this. Like Second Thought but in book form

to be fair it took me quite a lot of context and talking to leftists and other stuff to be able to understand das kapital, and we are talking about a book that is a foundational introduction to the damn thing. we need easy books.
