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.

    Marxists.org has the complete works. If you're not familiar with some pieces to start, I reccomend his shorter punchier articles like "Combat Liberalism". The infamous little red book, "Quotations from Chairman Mao" is fantastic. "On Contradiction" is worth it too.

      Yea On Contradiction is what I've kinda flipped thru but it was a few years ago so I'll check those out thank you!

      The agrarian focus of Maoism really resonated with me, as well as the concept of the Irom Rice Bowl, finally I personally feel that permanent revolution & peasantry as the vanguard albeit updated to modernity makes the most sense to me as an actual framework for change.

      Thanks alot!
