Not sure if your wanting more article length sources or books but the podcast Proles pod did around 10 episodes on Stalin and in their show notes they list lots of books that the read for those episodes. you can look that up if you want lots of book sources. Also the podcast episodes themselves are very good and give a lot of details.

I’ve also heard Gerda Lerners The Creation of the Patriarchy is good and builds on Engels Origins of the Family. I haven’t read it yet though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Creation_of_Patriarchy

I’m slowly making my way through the Anti-imperialist project podcasts history of civilization series which is from around 1500 until now. you can find it on your podcast app. https://podur.org/the-civilizations-series/

It really depends on the people who are interested but for the more borderline I’ve seen suggested Angela Davis’s Gender Race and Class or Michael Parenti’s Blackshirts and Reds and then Engels The principles of communism.

The new deal was not a victory it was a failure. It was a policy passed to placate and divide white settlers from the global working class. And BIPOC folks in the states didn’t benefit and that was intentional. Reform is not a win it is a loss. It further prevented any revolutionary action. Next you’ll be claiming the US’s work around making it easier for white workers to own homes is a win.

Reading USUs articles on organizing was a real eye-opener for me. It completely shifted my perspective and made me reconsider wanting to join CPCanada (among other reasons I learned later not to join) and instead focus my energy on starting a study group in my local area. If you’re interested in organizing outside a party I highly recommend reading this guide by USU. Guide to organizing

This guide to organizing to build a party is the closest I’ve seen by USU https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Category:Guide_to_organizing (prolewiki hosts it but USU made this guide)

what do you mean by “biased”? Is what they are saying true or not? And if it isn’t true what exactly isn’t true about it. Have you ever written out anything to tell them what is incorrect about their position and correct about yours?

sorry just saw this. yes I was

If you look at the Palestinian resistance reading guide in our library there are no Marxists authors in those recommended books (although I’m not sure about Illan Pappe) which I am in the process of uploading to the library. ML is preferred but in the future (I’m the library maintainer for PW) I’m wanting a lot more study guides in our library and some of those sources will come from historian’s who may not be ML but who have written really informative books about X like Illan Pappe on Zionist Entity or John Mearshiemer’s book on Israel Lobby. Using that as an example of when non ML sources can still be helpful.

oof! the flatpack of FluffyChat is really not great. Can’t make an account in it and when I tried to join rooms it wouldn’t work. Element worked for all these things.

hmm weird it won’t let me make an account on matrix.org either just shows sign in options. Something on my end then. I’m a newb to this I’ll see if another client does the same thing

hmmm, I’m using the flathub fluffychat client and when I find the genzedong.xyz server it only gives me the option of logging in but no making an account option…

Also there are some questions to fill out to enter the server. Just fill them out the best you can and let them know your here for the bookclub
