No. Join a party wherever you can, as long as they are communists or have large-ish socialist caucuses on them. Connect with communists even if they are not your type for the sake of making connections and seeing the status of the movement for yourself.

Join them and see for yourself

Best method for studying is writing little tests for yourself and trying to recall your lectures just like you would do in university/school. Obviously this isn't always possible due to time, so the best method I found for studying is writing down notes on a special theory notebook while I read, highlighting sections and uploading quotes to bookwyrm.
There was a method I learned when I studied History which I haven't tried with theory yet, using reading cards in which you write a synthetic version of the main arguments of a book or section you want to study.
I've been reading Lukacs recently and philosophy not being my strongsuit I've found that listening to lectures or video essays that deal with the subject are great for strengthening what i've already read trough.

Yea, I don't really like recommending massive books no matter how readable they are, but I don't think a subject matter as massive as the 1917 revolution or the civil war can be consumed that lightly. And as far as I know most Youtube documentaries or essays are not that good.
i like your choices. I'd love to see how Bordiga reads in italian tho
