Hey guys.

I’ve spent most of my life as a moderate lib, until about 6 months ago when I became full-on leftist. However, I know very little Marxist theory.

Assuming I know nothing, what books would recommend to some like me? Obviously Marx, but what else? And in what order? Would anyone be willing to curate a list of books that would give me the basics on Marxist theory and history from the perspective of Marxism? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

I actually found Kropotkin more inspiring and visionary, and struggled with State and Rev, but found Lenin more pragmatic and I think I agree more with his worldview now.

reading is only half of the homework, engage with your community, that’s the second half
