Hey comrades, I’ve been dropping little nuggets for a few months now to my dear friends about Marxism and communism, and they’ve grown to really fond of me digesting the current nightmarish situation in the west with dialectic materialism and would like to learn more for themselves.
The thing is, my good friends are all rather dyslexic, and I worry that the older works might be a bit too much for them, I was wondering if anybody had good recommendations I could point them to. My friends are not stupid, and I am sure they will want to read Marx, Lenin, Mao and beyond eventually, they are quite enthusiastic people, but I want to give them the best chance and start them off light. Hope you all are having a lovely day <3
you should start a reading circle.
the easiest is to meet up together and take turns reading aloud, discussing as you go. reading is a skill, and you'll all get better as you go.
as to what to read, there are many classic intro texts, but something you personally found instructive or insightful or applicable to your situation will probably be particularly meaningful for your friends. you can let questions that arise from there guide your next picks.
if you're meeting for an hour, something that's 15 minutes long is probably the right length to get started.
omg that actually might be such a great idea, I might think on that! Thank you <3
