I'm thinking about learning about left communism

Since most of the leftcoms here seem to make good posts and know what they're talking about. Where should I start? What books would be good for a noob to left-communism?

I suppose ideologies have to meet a certain standard of obnoxiousness before you'll consider them?

plz no bully.

Literally the most autistic move

...

This entire board is leftcoms whether you realize it or not.

So, any book suggestions? or just shitposting?

No wonder its quality has gone to shit

Read bakunin and proudhon

truly we are the worst board on Holla Forums

As oppose to autists like you doing nothing all day but spouting Stirner memes ?

Not leftcom books but I do have a copy of "what is property?" laying around, gonna have to read it later.

fpbp

I have no idea what books leftcoms read, other than being contrarian with literally every other ideology.

Fair enough.

Fam 👌👌👌

I have the paperback.
thanks though.

Do not be nasty toward the Nazbols.

should have flagged as a LC tbh

Start out with Gilles Dauvé – Eclipse and Re-Emergence of the Communist Movement

There's a really comprehensive reading list here: edensauvage.wordpress.com/2016/07/25/reading-list-for-aspiring-ultra-lefts/

I don't know what you've been reading

That explains it

Thank you.

Sorel.

I gotta admit that put my sides into orbit.

Stop being a nazbol.

Stop being a leninist.

No

Leninism is anti-communist.

Not if it's Bordigist, you silly pancake man.

Be nasty toward the Nazbols.

Bordiga had good critique of USSR but I can't dig his program. Workers councils not parties dude.

Fixed it for you.

Joking aside, I agree that the seemingly substitutionist line taken by Bordiga in his old age is a problem, but I don't think that invalidates the rest of his theory.

now this is shitposting

leftcoms and nazbols btfo

In what way? You can't act like you are right without provide a proper argument.

you must be new here

Nah I am not new.

The flag on this board titled leftcom is the logo of the PCd'I, a communist party led by among others Bordiga, which at its height organized over 10 million members to general strikes, political action and political action before getting struck down and illegalized by the Italian fascists. Their political ideology was similar to Leninism, but with many differences and they generally critiqued Lenin's take on his own creation.

Left communism is just a historical term and stands for an opposition faction in the Third International which called itself "the left of communism" (to contrast with what they called "the right of communism") consisting of many various, often entirely separate or contradictory ideologies with themselves, e.g. council communists, Leninists, guild socialists, Marxist syndicalists, etc. and the faction was formed to critique the then leading Bolsheviks post-October revolution. This is why you can never tell what someone's precise ideology is on this board, because left communism is broad and then the confusing flag only refers to a specific party. Ask them and you'll either get this strange Bordigist strand of Leninism, or council communism, or its synthesis, or literally anything.
The only thing consistent with left communists today, or more precisely ultras/ultraleftists, is the following:
They can be a pain because of this and they're often very smug and dismissive, but they're among the better posters and communists on this board and in general because they're well-versed and put effort in their posts.
