How commie should I be? We’re supposed to have a book swap and idk if it’s NYT bestsellers or Lenin. They’ve got a lot of “we’ll take your name off if you’re scared to associate with our group”, but looking through the docs and all seems like completely normal stuff.
perhaps non-theory works from communist authors, especially soviet ones like maxim gorky or demyan bedny. if they receive it well, you can slowly guide them towards the more political stuff and if they resort to racist russophobic or anticommunist screeching you’ll know to run before it’s to late.
