See title, this builds up on the previous request for reading lists, but is a bit more open ended and is supposed to be a contemporary update that I would like to post twice a year.
The texts at best are accessible without too much previous knowledge. Open for videos, and other media, as well as group formats, and activities too. You have to participate in protest training and actually cook for others to see how both those things feel.
I would be more happy with fewer thick works or only excerpts from complicated stuff, than to suggest the complete collection of Marx's works. Some popular and recent books i.e. Jakarta Method, Klein, or recent organizing books would be welcome, too.
The next time I post this question (and feel free to paste your own suggested template) will be December/January 2023.
I just read Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Freire and I would say it was immanently approachable and easy to understand. Doesn’t overly refer to Marx or Engels or Lenin but does have quotations from time to time. It’s incredibly enlightening especially making the distinction between subjects and objects of history.
This is a good thing to include as well.
