The classic one is probably good for a well rounded revolutionary, but it’s kind of long for a beginner, and there’s also newer theory that’s not included, but is necessary for understanding todays material conditions. It feels weird sending baby leftists a long list of old dense texts. I’ve been sending people Principles of Communism, five essays on Philosophy, Blackshirts and the Reds, and the Red Deal. Is this a good idea? I feel like it’s important to inform modern MLs of socialist history, and also I should probably add some works on imperialism. Any thoughts?
How well does chat gpt work for that kind of prompt? I remember reading stuff that it works well for tailored study suggestions.
GPT can be pretty useful for saving time wordsmithing, but you have to be careful with it because it can just make shit up too. I’d use it to help with producing reading materials and stuff, but I wouldn’t use it as an interactive study guide for example.
I’m unsure. I’ve never used it. I’d say the human element is going to be important, though, because it’s part-propaganda and we can’t leave that to AI unless it’s just to curate the list and then to check it before sharing it.
