    Isn't that what the entire federation point is? We can keep this community and keep it insular.

    To expect that lemmy as a whole can remotely be the same as lemmygrad is delusional and indicative of being way too online. If anything having lemmy as a whole being more moderate and broader based is a propagandistic tool (not that it even matters that much, online is fake, join a party).

    Gramscian hegemonic analysis with regards to the superstructural "war" is silly as fuck and a huge waste of time. We will never have hegemony offline or online under capitalism, the smart response is to adapt, propagate our ideas where it makes sense, and act strategically.

    Honestly for me online is mostly a venting space, I see literally zero value over debating libs in that area. Pushing a counter narrative has some use yes, but even then that impact is minimal, and conclusive to at best the worst recruits you can possibly imagine.

    edit: it's also a dogshit habit when it comes to mass work where you have to interact with countless ideologically backwards elements in the organized working class. You will never find purity. Going full guns blazing on libs is a time and place and contextual situation and you need to learn how to not flip the fuck out over backwards and even reactionary ideas in those settings, because doing that will lead you to never be able to stamp them out amongst the masses.

    I don't want to be an ass, truly, but any foundational guide to ML should include marxist feminist texts, decolonization texts, and marxist influenced queer liberation texts.

    ML is an evolving science and giving a reading guide that is fundamentally pre 1920 is not great. It's reminiscent of what trots do tbh.

    Seeing Sakai, who is valuable, but memeified, but not Fanon? Really?

    Atleast include Kollontai, also. Maybe also some Arruzza and Federici.

    Disagree or agree with PSL, but their liberation school curriculum is on point.

    IMO this list is filled with redundant texts and non necessary reads also. This is fully inadequate to beginners, and also runs the risk of beginners seeing necessary and crucial developments in ML thought as secondary. A lot needs to be scrapped.

    I'd also recommend including Althusser and Gramsci.
