I’ve read Manufacturing Consent (as well as a lot of Chomsky shit) , Conquest of bread, Pedagogy of the Opressed.

What are some books that aren’t too theory laden (can’t do it right now) that you recommend every leftist read

Right now I’m reading something called live work work die by Cory Pein basically about how reactionary Silicon Valley actually is.

I’ll need something new soon though

Thanks people

    I guess if I had to pick a "Every Leftist Must Read This" list, minus the copious volumes Capital, I'd go with these:

    • The Manifesto
    • What Is To Be Done? (Lenin)
    • State and Revolution (Lenin)
    • Open Veins of Latin America (Eduardo Galleano)
    • The Communist Necessity (J Moufawad Paul)

        It was one of the most influential works in my transition to Marxism-Leninism. Its basically a vicious denunciation of the decentralized, disorganized tactics of the modern Western left. It advocates a rehabilitation of more traditional methods of Marxist-Leninist organizing, anti-imperialist struggle, and unconditional support for communist movements overseas. And it outlines that we must make the case, in the face of looming climate catastrophe, that a transition to communism is a necessity and not some mere alternative.
