Ok, so, I've continuously heard people say "read this before you comment on [so and so]" And then give you a list of like 10 books. And the person on the other side retorts back with another list of 10 books. And then you have more people saying that we should read even more of these for another topic on communsim. And then theres the ones for capitalism, and anarchy, and democracy. Its all shit!!! AHHH. I swear, if I start reading every single book that I've heard people say that we just HAVE to read before commenting or debating, NOBODY would be back on this site till we're all old and gray.

So, I don't want to hear "read the entire collective sets of Lenin and Trotsky", but what are some actual good books about communism? Ones that are short simple and to the point, so I can get a bit more background information. Ones for capitalism too, please. 'Cause it would take forever to sort out the better ones.

The Marxists
Communism, Facsism, and Democracy
The Real World of Democracy (really fucking good!! and less than 100 pages I believe...)

Those are the three I suggest. I have read bits of The first two and all of the last.
