At the moment, I am still reading "Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party" by Agustín Guillamón. Additionally, I have started "Anatomy of an Epidemic" by Robert Whitaker, which critiques the solutions that current psychiatry proposes in Western societies; it specifically focuses on the United States.

Now I am reading 'Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party' by Agustín Guillamón. I recently finished 'What Is to Be Done?' by Lenin.

Try "El túnel" by Ernesto Sabato. As far as I remember, it doesn't have a very complex vocabulary. However, the story it tells has a message that can be analyzed from somewhat more complex perspectives.

I would just like to remind you of the following sentence from Karl Marx: 'The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution.'

The material conditions of capitalism will evolve towards a state in which the contradictions between classes are reflected with high intensity. The middle classes tend to proletarianization, due to the concentration of capital in the hands of a few bourgeois and to competitiveness. We must create class consciousness so that when the time comes, if we have done a good job, we can reap the fruits and finally establish socialism. This means pointing out the causes and origins of injustices, always proposing a political solution.

Me too. I started smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol until I got sick with schizophrenia; it was then that I had to stop using cannabis. Now I occasionally drink beer; but above all, I consume a lot of caffeine, in my case in the form of energy drinks.

I have read "The State and Revolution." Now I am reading "What Is to Be Done?" Both books by Lenin.

I read in Spanish because it is the language I am most proficient in. Sometimes, I also read in Catalan.

Right now I am reading "Hegemony and Socialist Strategy" by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Just a few days ago, I finished the book "Workers' Councils" by Anton Pannekoek (5/5).
