    Have you been reading a lot of theory lately or is this your first dive in? Asking because it gets easier with practice.

    Also, any parts that were particularly difficult for you that you’d like to discuss?

      I can confirm it does become much easier the more you read, not only you get used to reading the topics about politics, economics and sociology (among others), but also everything unclear become cleared and explained more time from more angles, often with adding context, nuances and examples.

      The only theory I have read besides State and Revolution is On Authority and The Communist Manifesto

        Well two approaches you could take:

        • Power through it and reread parts as needed
        • Read something a bit less intense until you are more used to it. I find Stalin to be a much easier author to read so maybe take a look at some of his writings

        Also if anything is particularly confusing or difficult ask the community for help and I’m sure we can help explain it or give the relevant context
