I know all the basics Communism/Socialism, but I“m still quite new
in the Left scene. So could someone maybe tell me just a few basics from
Marx or Lenin, or recommend some books ?
That woule be really nice

I think Lenin did something like "State and Revolution", I read that book when I just started to become class conscious.

there is an EXCELLENT compilation of the most important works of Marx and Engels called The Marx-Engels Reader edited by Robert C. Tucker. It takes you from the early "humanist" marx right through to "scientific socialism" and actual revolutionary strategy. even gives a few of engels' works after marx's death. it gives only a *brief* explanation of hegelian theory, though. so if you're unfamiliar with the hegelian dialectic, you may want to review that since, especially in the earlier part of the book, hegel's influence is near ubiquitous.
hope that helps! :)

I would advise to read beginers books. Most socialist/ Communist parties will sell beginers books.

It can be hard for some people to read complicated as well something writen for an audience 90-150 years ago.
