This is exactly what happened to me with the spanish version of “The State and Revolution”. A turbo lib did the preface and it was full with anticommunism. I wonder why bother doing a preface then.
Simple. These are warnings for libs. In the unlikely event a lib picks up State and Revolution, they’ll be armed in advance with all the usual thought terminating cliches.

Very true!
Lol I started listening to the audible version of the Spanish translation of capital and returned it within about half an hour. I thought the whole thing had been rewritten. Maybe it was only the editor’s intro after all.

I’ve noticed that. It also makes people look at the book and think, nah, that’ll be too heavy for me. When really it’s a short book. Even Capital is a lot shorter if you ignore all the extras (except Marx and Engels’ prefaces and postfaces as they’re quite useful).
