I never got called a tankie, so idk about that.

Then again, I rarely participate in political discussions that I don't know about. I try to read as much as possible to get an idea, but I never go in dept, like read sources.

I'm going to go to uni soon. I'll try to spend more time into learning history properly.

Good!

Let me know if you want some basic Marxist recommendations.

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was thinking of diving head first into das kapital. I'm not sure if 3 courses of philosophy are enough. I was going to ask my philosophy teacher about it, but I'm a bit scared to ask haha.

I would be glad to get some recommendations though.

I def recommend against starting with das kapital, at least until the advanced / intermediate stages. Its a slog, and not really the best introduction.

Here's a Marxism study plan, with a good number of audiobooks / audiobook torrents for them.
