I finished State and Revolution, Blackshirts and Reds, and the Communist Manifesto. Should I next focus on collecting my relevant resources and arguments for debunking anticommunist propaganda or read more theory? My thoughts are that I have a functional (albeit technically basic) understanding of ML theory but I have noticed the main barrier to convincing people in my life are the propaganda surrounding Stalin, Mao, etc. I would love any advice from those more knowledgeable and experienced than I. Thank you in advance
Don’t bother.
Go for more theory, even the stuff that most tankies like myself don’t go for.
For example: I’m trying to focus more on the field of “Marxist psychology,” which many fellow Marxists don’t know about.
Look for things that people don’t focus too much on; you could help your fellow Marxist-Leninists that way.
