In terms of theory, I don’t consider myself well read. Theory is often really tough for me to read. Even with very easy-to-read writers like Michael Parenti, it’s dense with mindblowing info. And things like the book Will to Change by Bell Hooks hits me in really raw feelings so I stopped at the first chapter. I need the easiest authors and their easiest-to-read works, or else I’m just not reading.
-Micahel Parenti: What’s a Slum? Urban Poverty and Marginality in America
-“I Have a Dream, a Blurred Vision” by Michael Parenti"
-Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth
No idea how I got through “Friendly Feudalism.” I read these all about 3.5 years ago before I lost the bandwidth to go further.
Edit: I tend to watch things more so I guess you can add video links after everything else too.
Combat Liberalism is so short and impactful I think it’s a must read. It will take you 5 minutes
Today I learned I am a liberal
Combat Liberalism fits in a Reddit comment. Use that as you will.
honestly this one is for people who already are bought into socialism tbh, not great for beginners or liberals. It makes a lot of assumptions and has axioms that would seem like a leap for a liberal who doesn’t already subscribe to our tenets
All it really says is “stand up for your ideology and don’t let things slide for the sake of keeping the peace”. I read it as good advice for having impact in any aspect of life. Stick to your guns and stand up for them.
