https://www.marxist.com/join-us.htm keep us in mind if you ever want to think about joining an organization, our numbers are growing and our future looks bright, and we are especially newbie friendly, most meetings are discussing theory and "raising the amateur to the level of professional revolutionary" as Lenin put it. Branch meetings are a great place to join a reading group and to continue a solid Marxist education.

Realistically, not much. The divide comes down to old historical battles that don't have much baring on today, while I am a Trot, it comes down to avoiding the challenging legacy of China and the Soviet Union, Trotskyists tend to be more critical of past socialist states, mainly around questions regarding the place of democracy in the socialist state. Trotskyist also tend to put more of an emphasis on international cooperation, which isn't to say MLs don't, but the writings of Trotsky expand these ideas. Also Trotskyists can't stop printing newspapers, we just, never stop printing newspapers.

https://www.socialist.net/the-fundamentals-of-marxism-suggested-reading.htm This is the fundamentals reading list from socialist appeal, the British section of the IMT (I'm in the American section, but I prefer the British reading list) Just be aware, IMT is a Trotskyist organization, so we have differing opinions on issues new and old such as Stalin and China. Even as a Trotskyist I understand that we have a tendency to reduce these issues to black and white, so make sure you get a broad reading on those subjects, and not just what is found in here.

I find it hard to not give into accelerationist mindset, not because I think that we can rise from the ashes, but because it'd be satisfying to be proven right and sometimes I think that is all we can really hope for anymore.

I am fairly new to the whole not being a lib thing so I have to catch up on a lot of reading, someone on here mentioned Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti recently, and so far I am really enjoying it. Also just finished Management of Savagery by Max Blumenthal (Thank you Verso book club), which I would highly recommend for a great info dump on American imperialism in the middle east.

well I don't want my years of study in Hotel management to go to waste
