Once again I am going to ask you to invade lib spaces and remind them that the Dems cannot save them. Give marginalised people the tools to protect themselves and their community from harm.

Show them that they do not have to rely on the Democrats, and that they shouldn't because the Dems don't care enough to fight for them. Direct them to organisations that can help them.

Let this be your chance to build a community, there are a lot of vulnerable people feeling lost right now.

EDIT: Only if you can, of course. Please don't burn yourself out or put yourself in harm's way.

        I made a theory intro guide (focused on Marxism-Leninism and intersectionality), feel free to let me know what you think! Trying to fill in any gaps and trim any fat from a basic reading list

          Looks good!

          Only book I’d suggest adding is Capitalist Realism by Fisher, because I found it really helpful in orientating myself to Marxist analysis in a more modern context, but I think a lot of comrades would have good arguments on it’s lack of utility.

          Also given the context of the US election, including some of the Black Panther’s literature on organising probably won’t go amiss

            Only problem is that it is at the limits of a Lemmy comment... anything you'd recommend taking out?

              Honestly, if you can't fit any more I wouldn't sweat it, it's more important to cram all the basic, easy to understand stuff in first. I don't think there's really much you can take out from the resource as is

                I was thinking about swapping Mao out for Oppose Book Worship and Combat Liberalism, as a bit of a call to action (that's the point of the end, plus the mini "what is to be done"). However, I think On Practice and On Contradiction serve their purpose a bit better.
