How commie should I be? We’re supposed to have a book swap and idk if it’s NYT bestsellers or Lenin. They’ve got a lot of “we’ll take your name off if you’re scared to associate with our group”, but looking through the docs and all seems like completely normal stuff.
If you don’t know how radical they are, why not bring a book written by a Marxist but that doesn’t immediately set off people’s alarm bells? Fanon, Gramsci, or any of the French new left writers are acceptable for most radlibs (yet for some reason Marx isn’t?)
NYT bestsellers or Lenin
Neither, Unjust Depths
read the jakarta method, it’s kinda both
Naomi Klein is a good middle point, try the shock doctrine or this changes everything
perhaps non-theory works from communist authors, especially soviet ones like maxim gorky or demyan bedny. if they receive it well, you can slowly guide them towards the more political stuff and if they resort to racist russophobic or anticommunist screeching you’ll know to run before it’s to late.
