Happy Unofficial Autism Day everypony, hope you all celebrate this day well.

If you had to recommend 2-3 basic books to a person in their 20’s who has absolutely no introduction to Marxism, feminism , radicalism ( the only 3 words I know), please recommend some books. Plisssss.

ok this is my drive of essential readings (I have both PDF and epubs where possible). I’ve made a suggested reading order. Change the viewing to ‘list view’ so that you can see the order easily. Start with the area that interests you. Best if you are able to form a reading group, but if not, listen to the podcasts mentioned below to substitute for discussion as you read.

For Marxism start with:

1) What is Marxism All About, this Dialectical Materialism Intro and this anticonquista article on Dialectical Materialism

2) Then read through this Marx & Engels folder in roughly the order as numbered

3) Some ways down the road, you can read through this folder for Lenin, Luxemburg, Kollontai, Stalin & Mao

4) You can also listen to RevLeftRadio, Red Menace, Proles of the Roundtable podcast or Guerrilla History to supplement as you read. E.g., you can search Red Menace podcast’s on Socialism: Utopian and Scientific after you read it. Rev left, Proles & Guerrilla History have well researched Marxist view of history, so e.g, listen to their episodes on Stalin or Cold War to knock out the bourgeois history we learned.

For Anarchism start with:

- this folder, it is already ordered by books that are introductory to anarchism. The only fiction book I have in the drive is here, The Dispossessed by Guin.

For Feminism:

1) Read at least Ch 2 of this article: Women and Super-Exploitation.

2) Then read through the marxist feminism folder and radical feminism folder

Islamic Feminism:

1) If you are a non-Muslim radical feminist who is constantly talking about Islam, read Leila Ahmed. You should also read this if you are from a Muslim background.

2) If you struggle with your sexuality & being Muslim, read Kugle.

3) If you are interested in how women are conceptualized within Islam, rights, criticism of Sunni jurisprudence read Wadud, Mernissi or Ali.

Hey, if you have half a minute and care about the LGTBQIA+ community in the EU, I'd suggest you take a look at this initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU.

1 million people are required to sign, but there's barely 100k. The form takes less than a minute, it only requires your ID, name and surname.

Please, help spread the initiative so that it can reach the goal ASAP!
