Reading List

Preface

This current list is nowhere close to providing a comprehensive Marxist education. Rather, it contains the selective texts which we found necessary to formulating our points of unity. Such texts, whether written in the late days of the Second International or the aftermath of the Interwar Years, primarily seek to address the critical questions of political consciousness which have become only more pronounced as the triumphs of October become a faded memory.

In the future this brevity will change, as over time we look forward to adding various texts on the state, imperialism, and many other critical topics. Even then much will naturally be left to the living activity of members deliberation and praxis. But in the meantime, we hope comrades will appreciate these limited selections for the foundations they provide to our strategy and daily organizing.
