MODERATORS
Moved to a new community since the rules are different from /c/genzedong's.
Here you can suggest texts for the reading group. They should ideally be reasonably short, but larger ones (not Capital, there's already a reading group for that on Hexbear) can be divided across several weeks.
Comments that suggest texts that fit these criteria will be selected based on upvotes. You can participate from any instance that's federated with Lemmygrad.
Some suggestions from the previous thread will be used for future sessions.

I have to recommend both:
Anti-Dühring by F. Engels and Materialism and Empirio-criticism by V.I. Lenin
They are both considerably long but can be easily divided considering they are structured of multiple short chapters.
I personally believe that those are the best books to learn about Dialectics and Materialism, the two aspects of Marx's Philosophy which became the basis of all Marxist theory, and therefore, are crucial reads to anyone who wants to learn Marxism without falling for ultras or revisionists' traps.
