How commie should I be? We're supposed to have a book swap and idk if it's NYT bestsellers or Lenin. They've got a lot of "we'll take your name off if you're scared to associate with our group", but looking through the docs and all seems like completely normal stuff.

    If you want to gauge the group itself, their sentiments on China are a good barometer.

    How about Capitalism, Coronavirus, and War by Radhika Desai? It is modern, relevant, and has substantial portions about the new cold war against China. If a group is particularly anti-China, they will let you know by taking this opportunity to tell you that Chiba is imperialist or something.

      I feel like there are a lot of Bernie Sanders style left liberal who are not ready to be deprogrammed on China yet but would appreciate Blackshirts and Reds, at least in my experience talking to people in USA and Canada

        Yes that is the main book I recommend to people to get them started on a left pipeline!
