Have a great week, everyone! Stay on top of your habits, keep up with what you need to.
As always, communism will win.
I’m starting your beginners reading list this week :)
Thank you so much! I’m actually about to put out a much smaller guide too, as a sort-of absolute basics guide, so if that sounds more up your alley then I’ll be sure to ping you when it drops!
Hey if it’s too much of a hassle I’d like to get pinged once you’re done also! By what you wrote in that comment lower this approach of two courses sounds better for my frayed ability to concentrate :D
Will do! Still trying to trim it and finalize the list, but will ping you once I’m done!
🙏
Me too please and thanks! Have a wonderful week and happy real New Year, everyone!
Of course!
Thank you!
Sure ping me. Though I’m starting at Section 0 anyways, so I guess there’s gonna be quite some overlap.
Some, but my goal is instead to condense the first several sections into one month-long course, not just an expansion of section 0. I notice that a lot of people seem to drop off the later in the guide they go, so I want to have 2 guides, one barebones and one comprehensive. The current guide will be restructured so as to be more thorough, and the new will be stripped down as much as possible without losing clarity.
Would love a ping as well! I just recently got seven of my friends and I to begin developing a community run Introduction to Marxism-Leninism class using your list. We’re only using Section 0 - 4 for the intro class and if all goes well, we’ll be creating more classes with the later sections.
We just started Week 3 of our prep work. We read and take notes independently then get together in person once a week to synthesize an ‘official’ summary to use for the class once all the material is prepared.
Thank you very much for the list, it’s been very good and has been a great resource for collaborating with my local comrades.
Thank you so much, that’s incredibly humbling to hear! The fact that a guide I made has actually had real-world benefits and utility is what makes continuing to maintain it worth it. Will definitely ping you!
