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:

MODERATORS
 

After several months of hiatus, the theory discussion group will be moving from Matrix to Lemmygrad, and now you (yes, you!) can suggest texts (yes, texts!) for us to read

Requirements:

  • Must be Marxist theory
  • Must be reasonably short (a somewhat larger text can be divided across several weeks)
  • Must not include any derogatory statements directed at rodents native to South America

The most upvoted comment in this thread suggesting a text that meets these requirements will be used for the first discussion thread (we will be making new posts for every text or text segment). You can participate from any instance that's federated with Lemmygrad.

Reform or Revolution, Rosa Luxemburg A really good introductory text and one I recommend to anyone just getting into left wing thought.

I would be curious to read some marxist feminist texts. I've read Make Way for Winged Eros by Kollontai before by chance and thought it was interesting

can someone make some suggestions? I'm not insisting on them for the reading group necessarily
