    A philosophy YouTuber I really liked at the time (that I now consider worse than trash, read below) made a video and then a stream about Marx, he taught me about the falling rate of profit, inevitability of socialism etc, unfortunately he is very flawed, he is some flavor of leftcom and refutes completely Stalin, considering brezhnev better than him (💀)

    Then I discovered hakim and genzedong (on reddit, back then) and leninism made a lot of sense to me, the necessity of a strong state during siege socialism, the necessity for radical measures ettc, in the end, all is good what ends good.

    That YouTuber is really bad, like he praises the EU and the Euro (that subjugated and empoverished Italy) and he is pro Ukraine, glad I distanced myself about 2 years ago.

    I still need to read my theory, so far I’ve read:

    ABC of communism (💀)

    Chunks of the manifesto

    Wage labor and capital

    Some of Lenin’s works

    Some Mao

    And a plethora of articles and essays

    Edit: per i miei compagni Italiani, provate a indovinare di chi sto parlando nel primo paragrafo

        I have his selected readings, it’s just a question of adhd impeding me from reading long stuff, i could try reading some of his letters or his shorter essays though, a friend of mine said they’re interesting

          Nice one. I’ve only read a few snippets, but thought you might be able to enjoy his works in the ordinary language – or did you go for a translation?

            I have his selected readings in Italian, my friend is translating some of his niche letters in English for a group of friends he has, maybe i could ask him for the translation and upload that on prolewiki library
