Picked up some David Glantz, Domenico Losurdo but would like some recommendations
Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.
Rules for /c/communism
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
- No non-marxists
This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.
There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn’t here to convert naysayers to marxism.
If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.
- No oppressive language
Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.
Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.
We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.
TERF is not a slur.
- No low quality or off-topic posts
Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.
This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.
This includes memes and circlejerking.
This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.
We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.
- No basic questions about marxism
Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.
Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.
- No sectarianism
Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.
Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.
If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.
The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.
Check out ProleWiki for a communist wikipedia.
Any specific topics you’re interested in?
Hey com. Not particularly just anything related to communism, anti imperialism working class history etc
I’ll throw in my suggestion of Imperialism in the Twenty First Century by John Smith. It is a bit dense and a bit heavy on the data side but it is an illuminating read.
Okay, first of all, I haven’t read any of this, this is just what I would like to read right now from my to read list, and I don’t know if all of them are strictly marxist/communist texts, but I do think they will help anyone trying to build a wide thought regarding commons and horizontality or something like that.

Thanks com
Also, the last title has an insult it’s not my fault, and sorry if my recommendations don’t work.
Also, if you want like really hard marxist history or something like that I would read Thomas Sankara, Nestor Makhno, Che Guevara, Lenin, that kind of stuff, I just didn’t want to recommend so obvious readings.
I guess you want communist stuff, but if maybe you could be a little more specific I could recommend more stuff. I have to check my list, though.
Communist stuff, history of the workers movement…must read books on revolutions etc. I do not mind
Dreams of Freedom by Ricardo Flores Magon, How Nonviolence Protects the State by Peter Gelderloos, Bread Book(Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin).
Thanks com
