On the Art of the Cinema by Kim Jong Il? I'm a very artistic version of a leftist standing. I like reading art related ML (and other ML types) books.

i don't have a suggestion but if you could notify me when a thread for a new text is posted that'd be cool

I'd recommend The Struggle Against Fascism by Clara Zetkin.

It was the first thing I read when I was trying to understand what Fascism was and to this day I still really like it.

I'm going to reccomend Antonio Gramsci's selected works. Specifically the ones under section 6, "Hegemony, relations of force, historical bloc" or section 8, "Passive revolution, caesarism and fascism" in the reader edited by David Forgacs (the marxist.org archive has links to both the table on contents and the full list of Gramsci's works linked at the bottom of the page here: https://www.marxists.org/archive/gramsci/prison_notebooks/reader/index.htm).

The entire selection (and these two sectionsin particular) are very important for understanding the modern world in marxist terms. Without hegemony and such I don't think you can fully critically understand the historical process, same as how you can't fully critically understand said historical process without an understanding of imperialism

Rajani Palme Dutt's Fascism and Social Revolution, despite its age, continues to stand as one of the greatest analyses of fascism to this day.

Socialism: Scientific and Utopian.

A bit of a curveball, but I think reading Ian Wright's Marx on Capital as a Real God is a good essay on thinking about capital as a control system.

Failing that, I think On Practice & On Contradiction would be a good way to explore dialectical materialism for any comrades that haven't yet read them, or better yet Elementary Principles of Philosophy.

The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky

Or

“Left-Wing” Communism: an Infantile Disorder

I think many of the topics in both of these works are still relevant today.

i would recommend literally anything about kollontai paired with social reproduction theory by tithinbhattacharya

The CIA Reads French Theory: On the Intellectual Labor of Dismantling the Cultural Left by Gabriel Rockhill

On the correct handling of contradictions among the people. ~~define short.~~

I'm kinda interested in Gramsci essay on Caesarism and bonapartism that other user brought up recently.
