newbie here
How can i become an expert on communism?
read the communist manifesto as a first step
this
NO
It is a fucking manifesto for fuck sake reading it is a waste of time
You should never read any 1-2 years old manifesto let alone a fucking century
what do you suggest then fucko
I would suggest it? It still has all the relevant goals of Socialism and establishing a Communist society. Theory can come afterwards, no need drowning the guy just yet.

These videos should get you familiar with the basics, then read. We have a few reading lists I (or other anons if they would be so kind) could dig up.
In before some awtist has a spergout because these images have more than one book on them.
He needs to understand capitalism first then let him decided how to fight capitalism "if he
decided that capitalism is bad in the first place "
The far left is filled to the brim with radical ideologies we don't have the right to force him in taking any intellectual stance
wealth of nations or rode to serfdom
Karl Marx Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts
These three books are an essential communist reads
Did you have to take classes in being so wrong or are you just naturally this incorrect?
forgot flag
A socialist must understand liberalism, that parent which gave birth to it.
by starving yourself for weeks on end
Standard issue.
I will say, that's one way to turn yourself against capitalism.
Like a couple years back when I was living on potatoes and ramen trying to pay rent with a shitty part time job. Probably would have starved if it wasn't for SNAP.
Doesn't help your confidence in capitalism too much.
Take a nigger cock up your ass.

Says the faggot that confuses Lenin and Marx.
[citation needed]
Are you still butthurt from being shown that Wolff is falsifying history for his own benefit?
Probably, everybody does.
You've said, multiple times, that a core part of Marxism, if not the core tenet of Marxism is use of the vanguard party.
That's Lenin, not Marx you fuckwit.
I have no clue what you're talking about here.
I don't remember saying such thing. Core tenet of Marxism is clearly the question of private property.
Vanguard party is widely supported by the Marxists as a method to seizing power. Are you suggesting otherwise?
Ri-ight. That's some very selective memory you have there.
this tbh. If you don't wanna jump into Capital right away (understandable cause it's a long read and Marx's style is kind of rough to get through) find some resources like Kapitalism101 on the LVT. You can also find a couple books on shit you're interested in (if you're interested in anarchism at all, Conquest of Bread and anything by Tolstoy is pretty good). Society of the Spectacle is another quality bit of libsoc reading. Each one of the special snowflakes you hear about on here has their own canon which you can usually find through a couple Google searches, so try to make a guess what you're interested in and move forward from there.
In another thread you were trying to "explain" what Marxism "is" and said that, as bullet 1, that you needed a vanguard party.
And this is a common thread with you and other tankies, trying to redefine Marxism as strictly Marxism-Leninism.
If you're talking about the RD Wolff thread, you'll notice that the guy you were responding to stopped using the Spurdo flag. That's because it was a different guy. I don't know if that's the guy you were talking about, but I skimmed through it and saw that you were talking about the USSR a lot.
This is good thread.
I'm classlessly incorrect
Now I'm certain that you are lying.
There is no way I would claim that Marxism is Vanguard Party.
If you want Revolution, you need - as in your odds are hundred times better" kind of "need" - Vanguard (an idea which Marx supported). And accepting Vanguard as necessary differentiates Marxists from quite a few political trends. But having Vanguard is not a goal of Marxism.
I'm talking about RD Wolff appealing to Lenin's authority to paint USSR as Capitalist by falsely claiming that USSR (via Planned Economy and Industrialization) somehow went against the wishes of Lenin, despite all factual evidence pointing to both Lenin and Bolsheviks in general supporting the idea of Planned Economy even before the Revolution.
Read Bookchin

Communism is shit
anarcho-syndicalism is filth
