Not a judgment or indictment on anyone, I understand some people don’t have time, others have trouble focusing and those are valid reasons to take your time with theory, but that being said, I was wondering how well we as a community are doing with reading the core tenants of Marxism. I’m just getting into it and I’ve not finished many works, but I’ve read many of them if that makes sense lol, I can’t seem to make decisions and stand by them, I always pick a book and switch to another one when I’m interested in that but the result is a series of unfinished books with more and more mounting up. What is the leftist reading experience like for you? And that’s not even to mention apolitical reading that seems lightyears away by now. Edit: just as a suggestion, I highly suggest Critique of the Gotha Programme. Also Mao’s Little Red Book 📕
I’ve never delved into any of the big stuff, besides origins of family, property, and the state (audiobook, not finished yet). I’ve listened to interviews and small excerpts/ books? like The Tasks of the Proletariat in Our Revolutiona, Marxism vs Liberalism, and I think I listened to What is to be Done?
I’d similar give myself a 6. I also tend to jump from book to book to excerpt to book, hehe.
