    i guess like 40ish books if you count soviet fiction books with a socialist bent :bugs-stalin:

    most socialist literature is pretty short tbh. ones that really stand out as dense are xi jinpings the governance of china and das kapital

      Read Capital Abridged by Julian Borchardt (there's an American/Penguin print that was edited by Max Eastman before he went full libertarian that's really good and has Lenin and Engles writings included).

      Governance of China is really just a collection of speeches about policy, you can basically use it as a reference instead of reading it like a novel.

      xi jinpings the governance of china

      is it good? i only skimmed through chapter names and it seemed pretty lib-pilled :deeper-sadness:
      i plan on reading it eventually, i'm just curious
