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…
Yep, will probably have to add Anti-Dühring and Materialism and Empirio-Criticism, then split the guide into “Basic” and “Advanced.” I’m unsatisfied with the level of philosophy in the current guide, but just dropping those in when the guide itself is already ballooned means it’s no intro guide.
Better to have a true intro section that covers the basics as simply and quickly as possible, and a true advanced section where I can put everything I want.
Sounds great.

Have you read the translated Vietnamese text books on Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism from the folks at Non-Compete? I’m working through the Historical Materialism book now, and I find them both to be great resources.
Have em on my shelf, unfortunately I intend on reading all of the major works of Marx and Engels I haven’t read yet first but I do intend on getting there!
