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
I’d say go for theory or history.
For deunking stuff it’s good enough to know in broad strokes what’s going on.
Seconded, @Black_Venom@lemmygrad.ml black Jacobins and settlers are some of my favorite Marxist history ones.
