Read Marx, everyone.
Do you have a good starting point? I have a rudimentary understanding of Marxism, but not much in the way of details.
I’d suggest Parenti’s Blackshirts and Reds. Or APeople’s Guide to Capitalism by Hadas Thier.
Thanks for the suggestions. Starting with Blackshirts and reds now.
I read while listening to the audiobook to keep me focused, ‘cause I’m old.
I have a lot of suggestions, but for starters, what do you know so far, and what do you think you're lacking in?
Here's a good study list, but it's specifically about marxism, so some deprogramming from imperial propaganda first might be needed, Blackshirts and Reds (and most other books by Parenti) is good starting book in English
Thanks, that is a lot to sink my teeth into!
