So far in terms of theory I've only read Chomsky, looking to enter the proper communist sphere now.

I think Lenin is pretty accessible, go for it comrade. The best/most popular Lenin to start with is probably "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" or "The State and Revolution".

Or just go wild: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/sw/index.htm
