    Anyone have any information on good manuals and instruction booklets for everyday revolutionaries? You know something in the essence of the anarchist cookbook, except not as stupid and dumb as it. Something revolutionaries could actually use i.e fighting tactics, everyday weapons, using flaws in capitalism??

    This means every type of manual comes in handy? Or is there a certain specific type of manual you want?
    “Where the worker is regulated bureaucratically from childhood onwards, where he believes in authority, in those set over him, the main thing is to teach him to walk by himself.” - Marx

    "It is illogical and incorrect to reduce everything to the economic [socialist] revolution, for the question is: how to eliminate [political] oppression? It cannot be eliminated without an economic revolution... But to limit ourselves to this is to lapse into absurd and wretched ... Economism." - Lenin

    "[During a revolution, bourgeois democratic] demands [of the working class] ... push so hard on the outer limits of capital's rule that they appear likewise as forms of transition to a proletarian dictatorship." - Luxemburg

    “Well, then go forward, Tower of Bebel! [August] Bebel is one of the most brilliant representatives of scientific international socialism. His writings, speeches and works make up a great tower, a strong arsenal, from which the working class should take their weapons. We cannot recommend it enough… And if the [International] deserves to be named Tower of Bebel... well, then we are lucky to have such a Tower of Bebel with us.” - Vooruit

    There are lots of "manuals", many on sites very much opposed to our politics. So I wont post them here. An weapons manuals are not allowed on here.

    There was once a Red Brigades Manual captured in a raid ...wonder if its on the net anywhere.

    I recall Marrighela's most practical advice was go to Fairgrounds and practice your marksmanship by shooting at the balloons with the poguns

    I have a copy of a crazy Maoist manual for a revolutionary party done by some detroit group in 1972 which goes on and on about the great leader with artwork on the cover that looks like its from the film Alien

    "By and by we heare newes of shipwrack in the same place, then we are too blame if we accept it not for a Rock." Sir Philip Sydney
    "The most to be hoped for by groups who claim to belong to the Marxist succession (...) is for them to serve as a hyphen between past and future....nothing can be held sacred – everything is called into question. Only after having been put through such a crucible could socialism conceivably re-emerge as a viable doctrine and plan of action." - Van Heijenoort
