Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

They not have to be marxist specifically, but all of mine are. My favorites are: Walter Rodney, Lenin, Anuradha Ghandy and Vijay Prishad. I have been thinking of Red Star Over the Third World again recently, and I may decide to reread it soon.

For Walter Rodney, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is perhaps his most well known work. I have read that, and Decolonial Marxism. Both are very wonderful and comprehensive.

Anuradha Ghandy's book on feminist trends has been immensely useful for me in navigating a lot of idealistic tendencies which exist. Her statements regarding anarchist organizing particularly is something I think of often. It is a very short book, so it may be easier to go through as well.

And Vijay Prishad writes constantly. He is in a lot of leftist outlets being interviewed, or writing articles The books I can think of from him are Washington's Bullets, and Red Star Over the Third World.

Sounds interesting. I searched but I couldn't find any quotes. Could you provide some pointers to where I could read these? Thanks.

In her book, 'Philosophical Trends in the Feminist Movement', she has a chapter dedicated to anarchism, if I remember correctly.
