I normally give people https://web.archive.org/web/20250129205319/https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/wiki/index/education/study-guide/ if they seem open to it. It’s fine, but I feel like we should have our own version with our favorite redsails essays no? I also don’t love hitting people with 19th century primary sources as the first things they encounter lol. Is that revisionist? People don’t like big words and they’re gonna bounce after 10 minutes if they get confused…

    This is my short and sweet list:

    • Why Socialism? by Albert Einstein
    • Principles of Communism - Engels
    • Communist Manifesto - Engels & Marx
    • Elementary Principles of Philosophy by Georges Politzer
    • Wage Labour and Capital - Marx
    • Value Price and Profit - Marx
    • Reform or Revolution - Luxemborg
    • The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism - Lenin
    • What Is To Be Done - Lenin
    • State and Rev - Lenin
    • Inventing Reality - Parenti
    • Blackshirts and Reds - Parenti

    I also tend to send people Cowbee’s list as well.

    I have a friend that is working through this one and it seems very well rounded: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQbU3KmoemuCAPO_b4HMaB8uvY9JGPrhH5aMS3Mm8AL8hjr2kT2ewjcfnsNgqJpMEmEe8Jbr6g9uPf0/pub

      You need to add a backslash \ or two spaces at the end of a line
      To make a newline (without it becoming a new paragraph, like when you add an empty line inbetween)
      Your current list is slightly hard to read because it’s missing these.

      Or you could make

      • A list
      • By adding - in front of each line.

          Thanks, but the more I see it the more unsatisfied I am with it, haha. Gonna make a rev 3 down the line, focusing on my own studies first.
