        One of the things I will never forgive the admins for is banning /r/CTH. I was slowly adding to the subreddit wiki on theory, covid, etc.

        I've long thought about compiling a FAQ/debunking guide about common attacks or misconceptions people make about revolutionary socialism and anticapitalism. Ideally rebuttals would be tiered by effort ranging from snarky one-liners suitable for bad faith Twitter chuds to serious sourced arguments suitable for in-depth discussions.

      This sounds like a really fun and useful idea. We could maybe include these sorts of peer reviewed summaries as part of weekly book club readings or something.

      Just read Marx. Its more than enough, you'd be doing better than 99% of leftists if you just read Marx.

        Okay, I bought 30 feet of linen and 20 bushel of wheat, as well as a loom. I think I am getting better at understanding Marx. I even got me a gold coin to convert those ingredients.

      ngl I've spent the past few months doing pre much this, lol. Reading and making like detailed but not too dense notes while making my way through major theory. Would love to do some theory read throughs or stuff, or even spaces where we teach each other/help each other work through theory.

      Back on the old sub @marxisthayaca would run book clubs on Persuall that had like an actually reasonably high level of engagement. People would be annotating theory that they'd be reading together, helping each other work through some off the tougher bits. It was honestly amazing and helped me digest some Marxist thought and concepts that I might not have properly engaged with otherwise. Would love to get something like that going again/
