I just finished ‘How 2 take an exam and change the world,’ which was a good baby leftist text if you get past the fact that Bertell Ollman an orthodox (?) Marxist and thinks “of course AES turned out bad, they tried to do socialism without doing capitalism first.” I gave it to a baby leftist friend, who I think will like it. I also finished ‘Revolt of the Angels’ which was pretty good if you can get past the French. The ending was surprising and I will not spoil it here in case anyone takes my positive endorsement (Ty @[email protected] for the recommendation).
I’m currently reading ‘Socialism with chinese characteristics: a guide for foreigners.’ It’s good. I’m glad I learned about dialectics first. I was happy when I read the part Hakim talked about on the deprogram recently before he did. I just started ‘Half Earth Socialism,’ which I’m really exited about. I heard the Bolsheviks or some other old party had a sort of common language through the utopian novel they read rather than Capital as we might think. I think ‘Half Earth Socialism’ should be that book for current organizations. I recommend everyone play https://www.half.earth/ the connected free online game. It’s good propaganda.
Im going to start reading ‘things fall apart,’ and maybe ‘the lion the witch and the wardrobe’ (Spanish version) soon.
To answer the second question I recently got a few books and would like to start them.
I'm glad you liked it!!
