Blackshirts and Reds. It covers some very important history, illustrates how capitalism decays into fascism and is destroying us and the planet (and has done so in the past), introduces some baby steps into Marx at the end of the book, and debunks many anticommunist talking points. Also it’s more modern writing so the lib can actually understand it without a dictionary in the other hand, is quite funny at points, and hits them with the emotional punches they need. I cry every time I read it.
Plus 1 to this. I’m currently reading it. I think I’m still a lib but I haven’t finished yet so 🤷♂️
Dang I wish my library had it on audiobook or I would listen for my drive tomorrow
There’s a youtube playlist for an audiobook, produced by the same guy who made the lemmy software we’re currently using right now! There’s a magnet link in the description, I assume to download MP3s. I haven’t used it myself.
