Short texts are ideal, but larger ones can be divided across several weeks if there's enough interest.
Whether you've read the text or not, feel free to include a short description or reason for suggesting it.

This text was originally written by Marx and published in 1849, and was updated by Engels almost half a decade later, after the death of Marx. The text is an introduction to capitalism and overlaps with parts of Capital. You can read the text here.

Written by Lenin in the middle of WW1, this book is an important foundation for ML theory and is still highly relevant. If you've never read it, even if you have a solid understanding of modern imperialism, you're almost certainly going to learn something. You can read the text here.

Parts 2 and 3 are titled "Grandeur and Weakness of Spontaneity" and "The Trials and Tribulations of National Consciousness" respectively (at least in the translation I'm using). You can find the book in EPUB or PDF format on Anna's Archive.

Suggest texts for the GenZedong theory discussion group!
(lemmygrad.ml)
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.

- Always engage in good faith (don't respond to hostile comments, just report them)
- Posts can be unrelated to the reading group but must be related to Marxist theory
- Keep comments on topic
