Thank you so much for the links. Will definitely read them, especially about the ICP. It’s difficult to glean the truth from biased reporting. I wish I had started this reading journey in my 20’s. Are there any left comm, anarchist or internationalist left communities on Lemmy that you could recommend?
Edit: That ICP site is a goldmine. The Lions theses is dense. Thanks.
You're welcome. I run an "unofficial" (not affiliated with the ICP or any other party) Left-Communist oriented instance, but it's small with 50-60 subs and only contributed by me right now. Marxism101 is for learning and questions so you're free to post there.
As for your reading journey, the correct answer can usually be found somewhere in Marx and Engels. I recommend keeping a narrow focus and sticking to mainly them rather than trying to read everything with a socialist label on it. There is just too much out there and the vast majority of it is bunk.
Me too. I didn’t understand all the references because I don’t know the history. I read it twice, and still didn’t know who CLR James was, now I do. Sometimes it feels like I could read for months, and still not have a grasp of it all.
They didn't answer my question of, do you have a mental illness or did you just never go to school to understand who humans are? Any group of humans larger than 100 people can not function in the manner they suggest.
