Hey There, Im new here :D (found it through wanting to know more about Che Guevara). After reading about Che i started to look at socialism and marxism which i dont really know too much about but it sounds interesting and it sounds like its for me so now id like to learn more about them.

So if anyone would like to talk or suggest to me any good things to read id be very happy and grateful.

Thanks.

Well, you can always start off with the basics such as the Communist Manifesto or Principles of Communism and then branch off from there in order to read some more indepth works.

You can find a lot of works and info here at the Marxist Internet Archive:
MIA (http://www.marxists.org/)

Also, there is a study group (check the Study Group subforum) going on right now which is reading Principles of Communism so you can always join that for your benefit.

Others like you have asked the exact same questions before:

As Janus said, there is a Marx & Engels study group being held by me. We are currently studying Principles of Communism; the thread can be found here. (http://www.revleft.com/index.php?showtopic=64413) It has been inactive for a few days because I'm been busy with my girlfriend visiting me but by Monday or so it should pick up and finish soon.

I would seriously suggest tuning in to that as well as the other studies to come in that series.
