Whos who.

[Dreamer]

Ok, I have been studying bits and pieces of the left ideologies for some time now and still finding out new info everyday like is expected. I now want to dedicate myself by which reading from archives of the people listed in the Whos Who sticky above. I want to know who should I start with. What is relevent in the readings or is all relevent. Thanks you.

I really liked this introduction:

Click yourself onwards from there.

Note that it's what one could call "ultra-left". Or anti-political/anarchist.

Start with Marx & Engels. Understanding their theories and works is central to understanding class struggle. After that I'd advise Lenin (in particular State & Revolution and Imperialism) followed by Connolly and Luxemburg. But that's personal preference.

Anarchists will want to focus on Bakunin and Kropotkin but I'd still highly recommend they read Marx. Stalin, Mao, Che or Castro haven't contributed anything of real interest to the theory and so can be skipped.
