I teased the idea here and got one suggestion (Theses on Feuerbach).
Criteria –
-
'Important' in communist history (think Lenin rather than a cool blogpost or Jacobin article)
-
'Short'; I'm reluctant to give a specific word-limit. It should be readable in one sitting. 'Short' doesn't have to mean 3 pages, but shouldn't mean 59 pages. Basically nothing you'd call a book: a speech✔, a pamphlet✔, a letter✔, an essay✔
-
Available to us all online
I would pin the discussion thread for one week, maybe 10 days.
This would be good for people who don't want to read long things to educate themselves.
Also some of Deng's works could be neat e.g.
On agit-prop: https://dengxiaopingworks.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/the-principles-tasks-and-orientation-for-cultural-work-in-the-129th-division/
On the organization of the people's revolutionary government: https://dengxiaopingworks.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/the-party-and-the-anti-japanese-democratic-government/
Foundation of Dengism (aka "the ideology of the modern Communist Party of China"): https://dengxiaopingworks.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/emancipate-the-mind-seek-truth-from-facts-and-unite-as-one-in-looking-to-the-future/
On the dictatorship of the proletariat: https://dengxiaopingworks.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/uphold-the-four-cardinal-principles/
Also the interview with Deng by Oriana Fallaci is neat: https://redsails.org/deng-and-fallaci/
