Oh, I completely agree!

Libs think it’s Communism 101 when it’s really a distillation of a vast amount of knowledge and experience—and it’s a specific call to action for those already deeply involved in the movement—then when they don’t immediately understand it they call it unrealistic. The fault is with the perceiver, not the perceived. The Manifesto is great if you understand all the background and context behind it. If they just wander off the street after a lifetime of only reading Harry Potter, then it’s no surprise they don’t understand it. So, I never recommend it to anyone. Anyone who I think should read it would’ve already read it by that point.

That being said, Calculus is Satanic black magic and a hoax.

Russia is Mordor though. Maybe DPRK is Isengard?

Nice, good luck with the refresh!

You know, I’ve never even read Foundations of Leninism. I’m going to put that on my own list. Thanks!

Not trying to diss the Manifesto but I never recommend it to people to read first. Everyone who I’ve met who isn’t a Comrade and only read the Manifesto always walk away saying the same shit about how it’s “a great idea but not realistic and there’s no real plan” blah blah or they just straight up say it’s dumb because it isn’t serious.

I think Principles of Communism is great as a real beginner FAQ and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific to dispel most of the “unrealistic” attacks. Stalin’s Dialectical and Historical Materialism is even better if they already read analytical works generally.

You have a lot more experience actually creating reading lists and guides though, just sharing what I’ve noticed.

He wasn’t a Nazi, he was just fighting the Soviet Union!

He’s just an innocent soldier fighting for the freedom of his Fath— I mean, Homeland!

It’s all good! I think there are spoilers like that too? That sounds familiar.

Anyway, I’m using a new app so I thought I did it wrong as it was so I appreciate you saying this because it helped me get verification I did it right!

At least revolutionaries like Cassian existed.

It’s so difficult to explain this to some people in the global south too. I’ve had people think I was crazy or just making shit up, they just straight up don’t believe it.

Oh, Jesus. That’s terrifying to read.

What’s Post Finasteride Syndrome?? Just curious.

Yeah, okay, but none of that is actually real. At least the books are good about addressing actual social issues, like POC representation with such fleshed out characters as Cho Chang and Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Can I get in on these rituals, please?

Are you implying that Communists who insult or otherwise alienate liberals are fed saboteurs?

Why even stop at earth? You know there’s some alien pedo species out there.

Sounds Anglo, to be fair.

Okay, I’ll bite, what do you think is missing or how could this information be made to be accurate?

Yeah, and one guy deported millions of innocent people and separated families!

The other guy is still Stalin though.

Okay, maybe that was propaganda, but this time Xi really is a Communist dictator and China is an authoritarianism! Trust me, bro.
