I got called a tankie in an online argument.

My transformation is complete :lenin-shining:

    Yes, I intend to. I'm going through Settlers at the moment, and I'd like to go through Gramsci's prison notebooks too as his concept of cultural hegemony was kind of a significant part of my radicalisation. I'd like to go through Blackshirts and Reds as well, and eventually work my way back from State and Revolution to Kapital. I'd also like to get some perspectives from African and Latin American leftists, so if anyone has recommendations, that would be nice.

    I've also read through The Will to Change by bell hooks, a bit of Masculinities by R. W. Connel, and the Judith Butler paper where she first explains the idea of gender as performative, so Gender Trouble is on my list too.

    I'd like to read more philosophy as well, but I'm less sure where to go with that.

      Don't sleep on Debt: The First 5000 Years.

      It goes a long way to debunk common notions of primitive economic systems and soundly dismisses the myth of barter being the origin of capitalism.
