Understanding why and how the US Empire is dying and what needs to be done to bring about Socialism is comforting.

Fuck it, shameless plug: check out my "Read Theory, Darn it!" introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list if you don't know where to start but want to begin with theory.

But only if you're doing what needs to be done.

Really good book! A little bit inaccessible in the first two chapters though.

Jokes aside, a good start is to join a socialist org, participate, and start developing yourself politically. I believe cowbee has a good reading list.

Here's the "Read Theory, Darn it!" introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list you mentioned. Also plugged it elsewhere on the thread, lol

I just wanted to say thanks for the curated reading list.

No problem! Made it after the US election, because I thought it would be a good opportunity to help people understand what's going on and what we can actually do proactively. Glad you like it!
