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.
When I visit my parent’s place I will look to see if I can find it again and give it a real read this time
Go for it! It’s a great intro and really helps contextualize philosophy for other theory. When Marx or Lenin talk about other philosophers, you aren’t grasping in the dark like some intros to just Dialectical Materialism can do.
