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

    Give Moissaye J. Olgin a try in his work "Why Communism?" It's a good intro into Communist theory with complex shit broken down for the average worker to understand.

    Let me share the first two paragraphs to let you see if it's up your alley.

    YOU are a worker. You have had a job for a number of years. Your pay was not high, but you managed to get along. You were a faithful worker. You never shirked. Perhaps you saved up a few dollars against a rainy day. Perhaps you married and raised a family. You were decent, law-abiding.

    One nice morning you are told your services are no longer needed. In plain words: you are fired. You are thrown out. There is a depression, they say. The employer has no more work for you. He cuts operations or he shuts his plant altogether. While you remain without a livelihood, he goes to his country estate or abroad to have a good time. He does not care to think what will happen to you. You plainly do not exist for the “company” any longer. It has no obligations towards its unemployed.
