Currently reading ABC of Communism by Bukharin. It’s good so far, kind of like if you turned the communist manifesto from a propaganda pamphlet into a school textbook, like literally to teach someone “what is capitalist society, how is it structured, what are the contradictions”, “what is the bourgeoisie” etc. From what I can tell it was written right after the Russian rev for expressly that purpose, to help teachers with educating the masses.
I’m not exactly learning anything new from it, but it’s an interesting read and a bit of a time capsule. I’ve been meaning to read Bukharin for a while so this seemed like a good jumping off point.
