This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

I want to read/listen to some theory. The only stuff I've read is 'Principles of Communism', 'Wage Labour and Capital', 'Value, Price and Profit' and I'm halfway through 'The State and Revolution'. What else would you recommend I read?
In this order: Imperialism (Lenin), Wretched of the Earth (Fanon), Neo-colonialism (Nkruma). If you prefer audiobook with context, all three of those are featured in the Marx Madness podcast as well and all are great reads.
Seconding listening to Marx Madness even if you are going to read the stuff yourself, especially if you don't have a reading group of your own. They were the inspiration for the book club in the r/TheDeprogram server and we have now read over 16 different books (not counting the fact we read Blackshirts and Reds twice!)
I would recommend On Practice and On contradiction by Mao.
Professor Richard Wolff has some great lectures on his YouTube channel about Marxian economics
In addition to what others said "Socialism scientific and utopian" and "On historical materialism" by Engels. Both very short but very informative.
