:) Geoge Orwell - Animal Farm.

If you want works by Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Che, etc. Just search around the 'net.

Don't buy them unless you can't find them.

[Xvall]

I concur with kg. If you wish to read them, simply look them up. However, if you intend on keeping some sort of socialistic library within the household, you could buy them. I just think it would be sad for us to need to pay much money to have the works of Communists. When they wrote their works, they intended people to read them. Unlike other authors, Lenin and Marx weren't out to make a profit. I doubt they would particularly care whether you got their book by 'stealing' it (Hell, property is theft!) or purchasing it.

[Xvall]

Oh; The Communist Manifesto.

[YKTMX]

Trotsky: The Sword Of The Revolution By Tony Cliff is one of my favourites. In fact, all of Cliff's books about Trotsky are brilliant.

[Fever]

Im a huge 1984 fan. Not that i wanna get into a debate on how communism ties into 1984, ive seen that all to much on che-lives.

[Comrade Ceausescu]

i liked animal farm a lot better,even though i totally disagree with what orwell was getting at.

[ernestolynch]

I wouldn't advise anything by Tony Cliff - he was a blatant Liberal AntiCommunist, masquerading as a Marxist.

A big fan of corruption, are you?

[Bolshevika]

The Little Red Book, The State and Revolution, and (I don't know if this count's) Che's Motorcycle Diaries and Che's Guerrilla Warfare.

He was a brilliant Marxist, anyone who thinks otherwise is pretty foolish.

Hey,
The penultimate book is obviously Das Kapital but if you just can't get through that you might as well read Marx on Economics by Robert Freedman, which is an excellent summary. Anarchist literature is easier to find because of the tendency of Anarchists to set up bookshops (they aren't real anarchist's, they catologue!), but almost anything you can get by freedom press should be good. Despatch the arguments of religious fundamentalists with relative ease after reading Almost like a whale an excellent re-write of Origin of species. Call me traditional but Little red book and Guerra de Guerilla are both great. George Orwells writings are extremely depressing, but a necessary read whatever side of the leftist fence you sit on. Read Stupid White men by Michael Moore and The Clash of Fundamentalisms by Tariq Ali for a shocking look at capitalist hypocracy.

Oh, and read Mein Kampf for a laugh at foolish facists.
