I've meant to read Parenti for a while now, he seems the most obviously relevant to the current era. Although I've read the nonfalsifiable orthodoxy quote enough that I've basically read a book, right? :very-smart:
Wage Labour & Capital and Value, Price & Profit will give you an okay base of the economic part of Marxism.
Critique of the Gotha Program is also very short and very easy to read, it'll shed some light into what Marx and Engels thought about certain things like what they think of equality under a socialist/communist society. probably my favorite book by Marx i've read so far.
I read the manifesto and State+Revolution one weekend at work and not much else, tbh
Those are the most important, I'd also recommend what is to be done and basically everything Parenti has done too.
Parenti is incredibly easy to read.
