On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

Hey, just want to say that I think you're on the right track! A lot of us felt this way before (at least I know I did for the most part), I would highly reccomend reading marxist theory, imo it really does answer a lot of these misgivings. If you don't want to read, there are a lot of audiobooks out there, or even just starting with beginner socialist videos is ok

I've read the communist manifesto in high school. Since those years, I've struggled with reading any kind of long-form text. It's something I'm trying to work on as it causes a lot of strife in day-to-day life.

I will gladly take audiobook recommendations.

I don't know much about audiobooks, but I recommend reading/listening to Principles of Commumism. It's, in my opinion, a better introductory text than the manifesto and also quite short. It's essentially a communism FAQ written by Engels.

I didnt get a notification for this for some reason, damn lemmy bugs... anyways I'm not super into audio books, but I like socialism for all's voice, here's a playlist starting with "On Authority" by Engels and going through a lot of other ones on socialism vs anarchism.

If you want something more modern, there's also this audiobook of Black Shirts and Reds by Michael Parenti, which is less theory and more a history book in a way. I would probably recommend at least listening to On Authority first, it's only 9 minutes compared to like 6 hours for Black Shirts and Reds

If you like his voice, there's a ton of playlists labeled by author or topic on his channel

Dessalines also has a lot, like non-degetic said
