Hi
Hi All. I don't know a great deal about politics, but i know that my views and beliefs will generally fall into those expressed here. I am left of centre on most subjects. I look forward to taking part here. I will probably be doing more reading than posting for now as i have a lot to learn. lol
Any book recommendations and interesting website suggestions are most welcome.
Hi, welcome to the forum. We're glad to have you.
You can find just about every leftist work written at this site:
http://www.marxists.org/
The very basics are: "The Communist Manifesto" "The Principles of Communism" and "Wage Labour and Capital". Read these and expand your knowledge from there.
I would read these.
The Principles of Communism by Fredrick Engels
Wage Labor and Capital by Karl Marx
State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin
What Is To Be Done by Vladimir Lenin
Party and Class by Amadeo Bordiga
These are just a few to read. I would personally read in that order.
If you would like, you can join this group I made. http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php?groupid=970
There is other literati groups out there.
"The exploited are not carriers of any positive project, be it even the classless society (which all too closely resembles the productive set up). Capital is their only community. They can only escape by destroying everything that makes them exploited...Capitalism has not created the conditions of its overcoming in communism-the famous bourgeoisie forging the arms of its own extinction-but of a world of horrors." -At Daggers Drawn
"Our strategy is therefore the following: to establish and maintain a series of centers of desertion, or poles of secession, of rallying points. For runaways. For those who leave. A series of places where we can escape from the influence of a civilization that is headed for the abyss." -Tiqqun, Call
Thanks ВАЛТЕР and Brosa Luxemburg. I'll certainly check out the website and get hold of those books. I actually read The Communist Manifesto a few years ago. But i'll re-read it.
Actually, I would say that the Principles of Communism is more important and better than the manifesto.

Oh, also check out Open Letter To Comrade Lenin by Herman Gorter.
