    You don’t have to like or agree with Marx, Engels, Lenin, or Mao to still understand that they were truly Communists. At the same time, it’s absolutely fine to not be a Communist. You might be a Liberal or an Anarchist or even a Conservative, as long as you think deeply about your views and study them as much as you’re able, that’s enough.

        In that case, I suggest studying Marxism and Anarchism. Try reading Marx, Engels, even Lenin for Marxism, and try reading Kropotkin and Goldman for Anarchism.

        Reading Principles of Communism by Engels, How Marxism Works by Chris Harman, and The Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin might be eye-opening for you.
