Why does every question warrant a 300 item reading list for you guys? Why can't we ever post videos, articles, or documentaries? Like if I wanted to learn more about how great Marx was, what youtube video would you recommend?

Reading lists are cool, but sometimes I just want to listen to a good lecture or a watch a documentary. That's all.
Thomas Reyes
youtube.com
Honestly this video is alright. School of Life is shit in general but that video was enough to get me interested.
Angel Johnson
Also. Like why are all our reading lists so long. No one is going to read all of that shit. There's not enough hours in a lifetime.
Dylan Ramirez
See. You get it!
Angel Powell
don't actually read that much chomsky
Cooper Williams
Well if someone just drops book titles at you and can't explain their position on a subject, they don't understand it well enough themselves. So that's their fault
This video explains the Marxist definition of capitalism in 10 minutes. I don't know if it's too boring though
youtube.com
Jason Parker
If you want to watch videos you can just look up lectures by respected Marxists and other leftist intellectuals. Not even really a fan of Chomsky because of his shitty politics, but I've probably seen just about every lecture of his on youtube that isn't centered around linguistics.
Jaxson Reyes
I've been here for a long time. Long enough to remember the days that Rebelabsurdity, Yui poster, and A.W. would all shit-post in the same thread. We don't have them anymore, but posting book titles without explaining anything is still par for the course on here.
Nolan Thomas
...
Colton Perez
Because the concepts are very varied, pretty complex, and reading is fun. Interpretations of books are always worse than the books themselves if you truly want to learn what people said.
Aiden Perry

Karl Marx explained with Super Mario Bros. graphics. 3:51min
Cooper Garcia
user… you have read all of those books r-r-right?
Jace Wilson
This is especially true for Marx. Even most Marxists, assuming they've actually read, misunderstand really basic stuff. So personally I would trust a random youtuber to explain this shit.
Noah Rodriguez
I love it! I think we need more videos like this
Henry Richardson
I'm putting together a reading list and I'm still going through the titles but I have some authors on the concept of alienation and existenialism. Any suggestions, thoughts or questions are appreciated. If you are wondering what this has to do with leftist thought I can also try explaining.

Daniel Bailey
Forgot to add Kafka, pretty much all the major short stories and the three novels.
James Collins
I can suggest some existentialist and mutualist books. But i was actually looking for videos, fam. I'm tired of reading lists. Thats kind of the point of the thread :/
Jacob Green
Forgot my flag
Caleb Walker
Wow sorry. I'm reading too many threads and I got excited to post my list.
Nicholas Butler
Its okay. :( I'm looking for anything, but books: videos, lectures, articles, audiobooks even, etc.
I think it's my fault for making a title in the first place, comrade. You are my comrade, right?
Anthony Hernandez
Actually some of the stuff linking Marx to Nietsczhe and Freud came from this Yale series on Modern social thought I've been watching.
Chase Foster
You can easily read a book per week if you focus on it. I know I don't because some of these books are fucking dense, but it is more of a willpower. I only read when I'm in the train.
Isaac Gray
I'm just not up to it anymore. I'm too busy now :(
I realize plenty of people can, but maybe its not the best idea to bombard folks with hundreds of books on a topic, especially if they're just starting out. You're right in a sense, books are super important! I'm not denying it. But maybe when we have a newbie, we present him with a short introduction in an easily digestible format? Like
This guy: Also gets it
Elijah Morris
how do you know if you're a socialist instead of just an edgy socdem?
if you're really a socialist, even your reading list will be tl;dr.
Luke Hill
Why not post socdem videos also?

Nigga do you have a clue how much art, science, technology, music, movies, television, etc. there is out there to experience and learn? Even if I get the time to sift through the bullshit according to the majority of user's tastes that is the subject material we collect and post, I doubt I'd even find the time to really read every single one.
What exactly do you mean by easily digestible?
Aaron Gonzalez
If you can't figure out the hamfisted symbolism in that book you need to quit reading all together
Camden Reed
Oh. I get yah now.
Honestly, if you don't know about CBC Marketplace and VICE, you're not doing it right. Joe Rogan wouldn't hurt. And tbqhwyf, you can learn a lot from comedians and interviews. I'd like it if someone could give us the scoop on podcasts, if those are still even a thing, like online radio shows and shit.

Orwell was a fucking socialist.
Logan Hill
lt has the manifesto on it too xd
Owen Murphy
Man. The fact this place has been around long enough to have "feels" posts only just really hit me.
Weird as it is to say. We need some proper named theoryfags here to knock things into shape again.
Sebastian Phillips
What are those, tripfag names, or just names you gave them or that those dudez chose?
Owen Lee
Just for you user, I think I'll start being a theory fag.
Here's my first hot take. Neo liberalism or social democracy, in their most extreme forms, are needed in the long term to force a confrontation between the bourgosie and proletariat. In the case of social democracy, the lower rates of profits it creates will eventually force a profitability crisis from which there is no return.
Grayson Clark
That "redpill" book list is atrocious.
