Great reading list but it's hilarious that this guy became a Maoist.
Blake Cruz
Is that still a reading list? It's getting close to a bibliography.
Josiah Garcia

Debord was a fucking opportunist to any consistent Bordigist.
Christian Carter
LeftComs aren't a hivemind. It's common knowledge that they aren't a tendency per se but rather a label applied to commies who reject both social-democracy and Leninism. You do realize that reading books that contradict each other isn't a bad thing, right?
Angel Wilson
Like anarcho-communists?
Jeremiah Long
Kropotkin, Gramsci, and Boridiga are all very different worldviews
Nolan Ortiz
...
Henry Ward
What point are you even trying to make? So far, LeftComs have been the most apt by far when it comes to actually understanding what Marx was talking about.
Nicholas Foster
There is a certain degree of overlap between LeftComs and AnComs, most notably with Autonomism and Communization.
Liam Moore
Autonomist Gang when?
Ryder Collins
Bordiga was a Leninist
Sebastian Ward
You need to read a book.
Alexander Sullivan
Most self-proclaimed autonomists I meet are lifestylist larpers who just want to do ketamine and fight the cops. Not even shitting on Negri here.
Jacob Adams
Yes, and pretty much the only guy among LeftComs who held onto Lenin to a certain extent.
Jordan Evans
What the fuck is your problem? That is what LeftComs tend to have in common.
Nathaniel King
So maybe leftcom is an useless term and we should just stick to libcom which excludes Bordiga?
Leo Long
Nooooooo. Only councilfags and ultras oppose Leninism, and I don't think that any leftcoms oppose social democracy. Perhaps you are confusing social democracy with reformism?
Caleb Watson
There exists a major tradition of anti-Leninism that stretches all the way from Luxemburg to the Neue-Marx-Lektüre.
Well, think again — it's at the core of LeftCom theory and praxis. Don't go and tell people to "read" when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, you ignorant twat.
These two terms are essentially identical.
Gabriel Young
the italian left was leninist m'dude
Ryan Wright
Come on mate. If you had read any Luxemburg other than "Reform or Revolutions" you would know that she was not an "anti-leninist" and was a strong proponent of social democracy, as was Lenin.
