Reading socially is just so much better than reading alone.
There was no appetite for bread when I asked, so I welcome other suggestions. Highly-upvoted comments in the thread will be bookclubbed. Some suggestions that’re on my radar:
-
David Graeber – Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology (100 pages)
-
Cockshott – Towards A New Socialism (199 pages)
-
Hannah Arendt – The Origins of Totalitarianism
-
Amílcar Cabral, Resistance and Decolonisation (205 pages)
-
Fanon – The Wretched of the Earth (251 pages)
-
Bread Is the Devil: Win the Weight Loss Battle by Taking Control of Your Diet Demons by Heather Bauer and Kathy Matthews
Bread Is the Devil: Win the Weight Loss Battle by Taking Control of Your Diet Demons by Heather Bauer and Kathy Matthews
So this is the “bread book” anarchists keep telling me to read
I would love to re-read fanon, and I think it’s very relevant to the situation in west Africa being what it is right now
No, this is the Marxist-Leninst response to it (as far as I understand)
Hannah Arendt – The Origins of Totalitarianism
My recs are:
Walter Rodney - Decolonial Marxism
Domenico Losurdo - Liberalism: A Counter-History
The new double issue of Monthly Review on degrowth
Andreas Malm - Corona, Climate and Constant Emergency: War Communism in the 21st Century
David Hilliard - The Black Panther Party Service to the People Programs
George Jackson - Blood in my EyeI would also be interested in rereading Wretched of the Earth

Kwame Nkrumah, Neo-Colonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism (300 pages)
(vote this comment to pick it)
dont waste your time with hannah arendt. she never justifies how Stalin and Hitler are similar in her eyes she just says it.
