Here, you can:

inquire

etc.

about anything.

Bonus discussion question:

Are there any books about BIPOC and EM people that you're reading and, if so, what are they about?

My answer is simply "no" BUT I have a few books in my queue that I plan to read soon that will talk about certain individuals and communities of color.

Bonus reminder:

Read: Henry Winston's Strategy for a Black Agenda, even if you end up not liking the book.

It teaches you how to think about strategy and tactics, imho.

    Are state and revolution + blackshirts and reds good starting points for someone who has read not much in regards to leftist books ?

      I think so... but you can add Principles of Communism and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific to that list.... There's also Imperalism: the highest stage, but it's kinda has some pre-requisites...

      They're relatively short but essential and informative as leftist books,..

        Define getting into communism. I'm not part of any organization, and I only engage in a little bit of praxis on the side. Honestly, I'm not ready to put myself in real danger for the cause (yet?). With that said, I want to learn more about socialism/communism, and I view it as the only way forward. I have been virulently anti-American for at least a decade and far-left since 2016. Im cool with Anarchism but I prefer Marxist-Leninism since it seems the most practical way towards communism (to me at least)
