    Occasionally I'm asked by my peers about communism, why I follow it, what it is, and whether s/he can borrow a copy of The Communist Manifesto. I'd like to have some pamphlets to give to these people that could explain the communist movement more objectively than the manifesto, refute the myths about communism, have less rhetoric than the Manifesto, and be more accessible to high school students.

    Stuff on anarchism would aso be excelent. Very few people seem to understand even remotely what anarchism actually is.

    A great one I can heartily recommend, especially if the people you want to reach work low paying Sh*t jobs, is " How to fire your boss" by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)
    Rather than top heavy theory, this is something all can comprehend. The boss drinks your blood giving you a pittance in return for the hours of your life you are forced to sell in order to survive.
    Strike back with on the job sabotage!
    This is a great introduction to class conciousness.
    Contact the IWW to get a copy.

    any actual pamphlets?
    Or something that could be easily printed on one, two, or three pieces of paper would be nice
    I don't believe that this doesn't exist on the internet

    if somebody finds this for me, I will gladly satisfy them orally

    As we see it

    A newly revised edition of our (Anarchist Federation) very popular pamphlet, describing the basic ideas of libertarian communism in an easy-to-read form . Translations in some other languages are also available including online versions in: Deutsch/German, Español/Spanish, Hollands/Dutch and Welsh/Cymraeg, just ask if you want these.


    Aspects of Anarchism

    A collection of articles from the pages of Organise! An excellent introduction to the politics of Anarchist Communism.
    "How you cling to your purity, young man! How afraid you are to soil your hands! All right, stay pure! What good will it do? Why did you join us? Purity is an idea for a yogi or a monk. You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"

    Not easy to find Marxist propaganda these days, when you type it into a search engine most links seem to involve the Nazi's.

    Anyway I found this Anarchist site for you....

    Anarchist Propaganda Archives.

    It has loads of articles on there, maybe you'll find something you like.

    You can try this site: ICMLPO

    Or try these: ILPS On-line, ILPS
    Rosa, explain how Marx was wrong here: </div><table border=\'0\' align=\'center\' width=\'95%\' cellpadding=\'3\' cellspacing=\'1\'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id=\'QUOTE\'>in big industry the <u>contradiction</u> between the instrument of production and private property appears from the first time and is the product of big industry; moreover, big industry must be highly developed to produce this contradiction.</td></tr></table><div class=\'signature\'>


    There is no other way for a society to achieve its highest level of existence but through a revolutionary change.
