It really depends on the people who are interested but for the more borderline I've seen suggested Angela Davis's Gender Race and Class or Michael Parenti's Blackshirts and Reds and then Engels The principles of communism.

The new deal was not a victory it was a failure. It was a policy passed to placate and divide white settlers from the global working class. And BIPOC folks in the states didn't benefit and that was intentional. Reform is not a win it is a loss. It further prevented any revolutionary action. Next you'll be claiming the US's work around making it easier for white workers to own homes is a win.

Seeing the conversations around this topic in the post Most Western Parties Are Ossified and Failures I thought some folks might find value in this organizing guide created by USU. It draws from numerous articles they’ve written about organizing ML orgs from the ground up.

Reading USUs articles on organizing was a real eye-opener for me. It completely shifted my perspective and made me reconsider wanting to join CPCanada (among other reasons I learned later not to join) and instead focus my energy on starting a study group in my local area. If you’re interested in organizing outside a party I highly recommend reading this guide by USU. Guide to organizing

This guide to organizing to build a party is the closest I've seen by USU https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Category:Guide_to_organizing (prolewiki hosts it but USU made this guide)

what do you mean by "biased"? Is what they are saying true or not? And if it isn't true what exactly isn't true about it. Have you ever written out anything to tell them what is incorrect about their position and correct about yours?

oof! the flatpack of FluffyChat is really not great. Can't make an account in it and when I tried to join rooms it wouldn't work. Element worked for all these things.

hmm weird it won't let me make an account on matrix.org either just shows sign in options. Something on my end then. I'm a newb to this I'll see if another client does the same thing

hmmm, I'm using the flathub fluffychat client and when I find the genzedong.xyz server it only gives me the option of logging in but no making an account option...

Hey folks, just posting to share that we're hosting a Beginner Bookclub over at the Decolonial Indigenous and Proletariat study group discord server!. It is made for beginners but anyone can join. All of us attending it are MLs, just like the server itself.

Our meetings take place on Saturdays at 4:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), and I'm the organizer. Additionally, we have Prolewiki members who attend, ready to answer questions and provide context during our reading sessions. Right now, we're digging into 'How Marxism Works' by Chris Harman, which is super beginner-friendly. We read during the sessions so no need to read before. You can pretty much jump in at any point and follow along just fine.

If we see more new faces joining us, we might even consider restarting the book!

If your new/ish to communism we would love to see you. Here’s your invitation to join the server.📚
