    I used that site! Got through parts 1-3 and need to do org theory. Great works, don’t use the site, a comrade pointed out that it uses google analytics. Make the same list, but read from sites like Marxists.org instead.

    State and Rev is great, but I would read Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy first, understanding Dialectical and Historical Materialism means you understand Marxism itself, the rest of Marxism builds on that foundation.

      Excellent, I’ve bookmarked those sites and will begin in the next week, hopefully. I’m also add so please feel free to nag me until I do. Not that that’s your responsibility, I just know my weaknesses. The hurricane mess makes me apathetic and want to veg with mind candy, but real nourishment is needed. Off to start my day, I wish you a great day/evening, as applicable. Thanks again!

        No worries! If you go with Politzer, you can skip Dialectical and Historical Materialism, which covers the same subject. I prefer Politzer’s work.

      I just found the Politzer book on invidious (posted by Marxist Audiobooks)! It’s over six hours, my worry is that YT will break invidious again, and front ends are dwindling, understandably, with the cost and risks that come with the project. Do you know of any backup sites in case the worst happens with invidious?

      ETA: the one posted in six parts on the Communist ASMR channel seems better, so far. It actually has inflection, whereas the other was in a monotone.
