Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

My gf has the correct political vibes so to speak, but no theoretical basis or knowledge of history. However, she is interested in watching documentaries on the subject, so which are the ones you found most valuable? Thanks in advance

Since no one else has suggested it, I'd recommend "The target is your brain" a Soviet documentary from the 80s, that talks about how liberal capitalism will promise nice things, but ultimately offers nothing to the people, every problem the documentary mentions has only gotten worse since, so it can feel even more relevant now than when it was made. Because it is Soviet, you do need to make sure your gf won't just dismiss it out of hand as "propaganda" though, it is propaganda, but one of the most important things to teach a baby leftist is to not just dismiss things because they have been labelled with the scary "P" word but to actually listen to the information and analyse it.

People these days say "propaganda" to just refer to misleading or false information. We need another word for this tbh
