I was hoping some of y'all could recommend some marxist theory. I've read a lot of the well-known stuff (Marx, Engels, Lenin) and I plan on reading some Mao in the coming weeks. But I'm sure there's a whole lot more theory that I'm not aware of, perhaps some contemporary stuff.

Anyway, I'm open to all recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks everyone. Lots of great new stuff to add to my reading list.

    I think Blackshirts and Reds is an elementary enough ML reading while not being overwhelmingly famous at the same time. Definitely try it out if you haven't

      this, this 100 times.

      also OP, I don't recommend just "reading" theory, I recommend annotating it while you read. When you engage with the text you walk away with a much deeper understanding of what the author was saying, even though it feels like you're moving though the work at a glacial pace.
