Read Marx and Engels. These texts are fairly accessible and should start you off without having to dive straight into Capital:
marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1880/soc-utop/index.htm
marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1865/value-price-profit/index.htm
marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/index.htm

Read State and Revolution before anything else. It's the perfect anarkiddie remedy and will give you a perfect understanding of the state through the Marxist lens.

This is also a good short text to start off with. Lenin is worth reading even if you disagree with the shit he actually did as a leader.
marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/mar/x01.htm

Well, since shit talking Stalin is what made you realize that you're a stupid bitch, i'd suggest to next study Stalins works, but start with Marx and Engels, step up to Lenin and then get to Stalin himself.
It's the only viable option to fully redeem yourself.

Alternatively, just read Bukharin because Stalin's only major theoretical contribution - Socialism in One Country - was in reality developed by good old Nikolai. One could also wonder how much value this theory proved to have in the end.

I know of Bookchin, I haven't read much of his works, but I basically skipped the fundamentals so I think I might go back to that. I'm moving to vermont in the fall, so I could go to his social ecology institute up there for a summer.

I've read a lot of essays and such, but those are the only books.

I've read this actually

Syndicalism is cool, I still support it, I just realized that I should just reject other tools for establishing socialism/communism, and I'm looking for books to help me in that direction as well as go over the fundamentals.

I haven't directly read his works but I read his ideas for a political philosophy class I took.

I want to read capital, I have it downloaded on my laptop, but jesus fucking christ it's a long book.

ok, that's probably going to take me a while before I feel ready to read stalin tho, I'm a recovering anarkiddie after all.

I'm probably going to do this tbh, starting out with and going into

Thanks Anons

fug *shouldn't just reject other tools for establishing*

I don't think you got all that autism under control yet, bro

Stalin is a joke, don't read him except for the historical value. Bukharin was a poor naive qt, but he's only really relevant if you support some sort of Market Socialism (which you shouldn't). Just stick to Marx, Engels and selectively Lenin for an overview of "mainstream" Marxism.

Read Murray Bookchin's "Remaking Society" and "The Next Revolution"

...

That's the problem. IT"S FUCKING EVERYWHERE ALL I CAN SEE IS AUTISM. help me user.

I've heard this before. I kind of want to read him, or at least a historical recount of him to help manage my autism when talking about stalin. I've heard very good things about state and revolution by lenin, and wage labour by marx, also they were mentioned here so I'm probably going to start with those. They are both rather short too so that's good.

I don't want to read stalin for a while.

pls gtfo.

kek. tbh the only book of his I've read is order of things, and I quite liked it. I was mostly making fun of how illiterate I am. Don't get triggered bb.

Read this shit. It's a compilation of writings written pre-WW2 by a French Marxist communist, so it's still got a lot of illusions and apologetics about the USSR, but it's as good of a general introduction to philosophy, especially materialism and discourse analysis, as you can get. It was so subversive and effective when it was in prints that it's been banned by several governments e.g. in Turkey during the '70s and '80s because it was just too damn effective at comprehensively radicalizing young anti-government and anti-capitalist agitators. Look past the little tankie shilling there is by taking a big grain of salt and this shit is absolutely great intro material for further reading.

I still don't know who originally posted Politzer on this board (I think it was one of the Marxheads?) but I still thank them to this day. Made me go from illiterate pleb to being able to fully digest and comprehend all other things communism, be it Marx, Lenin or otherwise.

Were you spooked, jimmy?

Show me on the doll where society spooked you.

Just read Kierkegaard

Jk, I'm sure you'll be fine

Conquest of Bread. What is Property.

The other day I read a paper which I wrote in my first year of university where I condemned Malcolm X as a populist rabble rouser who used propaganda cribbed from the similarly populist Karl Marx.

...

the Bible

tbh I tried reading Kierkegaard once because I had a huge crush on Camus (The Rebel, and The Myth of Sisyphus, I didn't read any of his fiction), but his writing seemed seriously inaccessible.

rip user rip.

I might check this out user thanks.
