Maybe this isn't what you meant but:

"The revolution of everyday life" by Raoul Vaneigem is my favorite book, and it is the most revolutionary book I have ever read.



"People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth."
Raoul Vaneigem

[Much Commie Love]

My suggestion is;
DON'T.
Even if, sure, a few text's of Marx here and there might help somethin'..but...
That's hardly a necessary. So what I think is, go out there..have a real-life experience (WOW!) and go from there. You'll learn quite alot more..even though, some of that Marx/Engels stuff is still relevant, some things have changed, some hasn't - some has taken other forms. Observation is the best 'reading'...Analyse - Not read cover to cover ;)

ya true, but it does help considerably to read up on such things, and format your beliefs accordingly, especially helpful in debates, and the search for knowledge

Guerrilla war, a method — by Ernesto Guevara
Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla — by Carlos Marighella
On Guerrilla Warfare (http://marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/works/1937/guerrilla-warfare/index.htm) — by Mao Zedong

Hopscoctch Anthill. That was very lazy.

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

This should probably be in the Literature forum, but I would definitely recommend "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Freire.

You can read the first three chapters here http://www.marxists.org/subject/education/...agogy/index.htm (http://www.marxists.org/subject/education/freire/pedagogy/index.htm)

I would post my own notion of the revolution but it isn't a very sound. I'm still gathering information about urban insurrection, guerrilla warfare, general strikes, etc. Once I unify these concepts and review the emprical data, I will most likely put them to a dialectical test.

If you mean revolutionary ideas then you should read "Capital" and "Manifesto of the Communist Party" by Karl Marx
But if you mean actual warfare then I suggest the Limited edition 2005 Anarchist Cookbook it contains training manuals for the Navy SEALs and Sniper training handbooks it also contains in depth info on weapons,guerilla warfare,explosives,and useful techniques like lockpicking and computer hacking

a lot of rightwing militias have a lot of survivalist/guerilla warfare literature. the militia of montana has a pretty extensive collective of marine training manuals n' what not last I checked.
