    How familiar are you with leftist theory? I’m openly a Marxist-Leninist, I have an introductory reading list targeting general inquirers, but I don’t know what specific questions you have so I can’t give targeted recommendations.

    Do you want the general list, do you have any questions about Marxism, or do you have specific interests in specific questions about theory? I’ll do my best to help.

    With no other information, my go-to is Blackshirts and Reds. It helps us understand what fascism is, who it serves, where it comes from, and how to banish it forever. It also explains how Communism and Fascism are mortal enemies.

      Thanks. I’m passingly familiar with Lenin and the New Economic Policy but I’d like to better understand the key differences to Marx’s Communist theory that it had/s. Also, without wanting to be controversial, a good piece about China. Is it Marxist / Communist or not - or is it more complicated than that?
