Why the hell is Combat Liberalism on the beginner list??? Sure, it’s easy to read and a quick one at that, but it’s not helpful in the slightest for understanding Marxism (or Leninism for that matter).
Also Jakarta Method as Advanced Theory is strange as hell, since it’s like the most beginner friendly book on that entire list and requires almost no prior knowledge to understand.
Yea, putting Combat Liberalism at the front implies a call to action before reading theory, aka it sets up the reader to go online and debate endlessly without knowing theory. It’s silly, and is totally not exactly what I used to do before taking theory seriously hahahah of course not hahhaha
Truly all the theory teaching I do on my Lemmy.ml account is punishment for years of thinking I knew what Marxism was after reading the Manifesto and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific alone…
Same with Oppose Book Worship, like, at the beginning of a reading list and not at the end, a text focusing on touching grass and really working can be a double-edged sword. The central idea is to do both, read and practice, but with 2 summaries of summaries of the basics under your belt you aren’t at risk of only reading yet, right? Just confusing.
I don’t think so, my claim to fame on the old sub was a proposal so cringe I got roasted non-stop for a week straight. It was so bad i wish i was the poster that coined the “I’m literally an anarcho-tankie!”
I won’t declare what kind of content I made that got me roasted because I’m burying that past name in an unmarked grave.

I don’t know that sounds perfectly in line with the ideology of the online left
Combat liberalism is just yourlogicalfallacyis.com for leftists.
Oh boy that’s an inflammatory assertion right there, I love it
I asked Mao and he said I’m right and he’s very disappointed in you all.
Thank God I’m not a moaist or else I’d actually be upset.
That’s right! Aren’t you the one who posted the legendary “I’m literally an anarcho-tankie” post on the subreddit way back when?

Truly the twelfth type of Liberalism, debating online without reading… So much wasted time…
They should make a website where they do exactly that. Let’s call it something after a geometrical shape and an ursine creature.
