Crazy cause Kautsky was doing Drake numbers until WW1 broke his brain
WW1 was his honestly never mind
“Why should we bother to reply to Kautsky? He would reply to us, and we would have to reply to his reply. There's no end to that. It will be quite enough for us to announce that Kautsky is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything.”
Diss me you’ll never hear a reply for it
u dont think theres any semi-feudal semi-colonial nations left any more ?
There is but the point is it’s no where close to being the hegemonic economic system
semi-feudal semi-colonial states are just another result of its toppling
Lenin smoked those boys so bad history forgot about em
Sadly Kautsky is actually en vogue right now with Marxist Center, DSA, etc types
It makes complete sense given the nature of the Western Left, and we shouldn’t be surprised it’s taking these detours but it needs to be combatted

Afghanistan is feudal
had a deja vu moment with that few months ago when i read German Ideology and i was like who the f*** is Bruno
crazy how many people are remembered in history cause Marx and Lenin s***ted on em lol
As brilliant as their critiques of Stirner in the German Ideology are, I desperately wish they were never published cuz they’re the only way Stirners rotting corpse was able to maintain any amount of relevancy and unfortunately his ideas have actually gained some traction amongst western leftist
Absolutely cancerous ideology Egoism is
Ecuador is getting brazy

Lenin is directly based off Kautsky and cites him all the time
Kautsky is to be criticized for his WW1 actions and everything afterwards, not his entire body of work
Half of What Is To Be Done is Lenin advocating for the russian social democrats to be more like the german social democrats

He'd roll back into his grave seeing what Dengoids did in China
And seeing what happened of Maoists
so how does one become a communist comrade fr?
@Scratchin_Bandit
You tryna get DEEP in did commie shyt comrade?
Bruh reading ethnobrain mfs arguing against eachother is crayz
Mfs be like this isn't ethnic cleansing they're taking back their ANCESTRAL LANDS bc they had a kingdom their in the 19th century
And then that kingdom conquered it from another kingdom from a diff ethnicity in the 17th century
And then that kingdom conquered it from another kingdom from a diff ethnicity in the 15th century
And so on and so on
Idealism rly can get you to believe in some very silly stuff

Powerful
For intro in theory I recommend Ernest Mandel summary on Marxian economic theory:
marxists.org/archive/mandel/1967/intromet/index.htm
Karl Marx - Wage Labor and Capital:
marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour
Engels - Principles of Communism:
marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm
Most important text on Marxist philosophy I would say is the German ideology which gives an outline for historical materialism:
marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/german-ideology
For intro on history of the USSR Michael Parenti blackshirts and reds you can find the pdf with a quick Google search
Also some of his lectures good introductory stuff:


Besides these which are the basics I would recommend reading on the subjects that interest you mostly bc otherwise it can be difficult to keep up. Gotta peep das Kapital one day as well tho
Lmk if u want sum about a particular subject
what do u mean by joining an org? (what does that entail ?)
and ofc the latter part yes, wanting to understand communism better

joining an org i meant like any local org near u like a tenet organization or a youth league for a communist party in ur area. joining an org is honestly the best for learning since you get all the resources from the org and connected with actual people that you can always get help from if ur misunderstand anything, i met people who read everything from the Peking Review during the cultural revolution and someone who can recite exactly what happened during the failed German revolution off top of their head, and has been immensely important for my development but there’s also a lot to worry about orgs like s***pests and devolving into reading clubs.
if u want something to read right now id rec principles of communism by engels easy and direct Q&A format which makes it easy to understand without having to worry about all the historical context like u have to do with Marx and Lenin

above from @Scratchin_Bandit are all good links but my honest opinion is that its better to organically start learning about it from sources that sound interesting to you and then further go down tangential paths on what aspects of former readings interest you the most idiosyncratically. i don't really say this because of trying to reduce socialist/communist thought to a book club, but rather because if you're into learning more, it's likely you already have sympathies in a direction of which simply reading further is unlikely to further change your political behavior, so the reading should be supplemental to where your interests lay/why you have those sympathies to begin with imo
