I’ve read a lot online and listened to a lot of videos/podcasts in the last 3 or so years, but I’m genuinely interested in reading solid theory (instead of hearing them quoted in YouTube videos, podcasts and articles). I am not smart enough to understand das kapital and I don’t read books that often at all (I have read the manifesto)

What should be the first three books I buy to warm myself up into understanding the theory more in depth compared to quotes, memes, YouTube videos/podcasts etc. (I was thinking maybe a Marx book, Lenin book and a Foucault book? But I have no idea!)

What would your suggestion for your first 3 books

PS I’m also new to the chapo.chat community! I haven’t been a part of a cth community since the original was banned so sorry if it’s in the wrong community!

    Sorry if I sound ignorant, but what kind of views would be considered unacceptable? If it isn’t accepted within a neoliberal/classist society that sounds great, but if it is overtly homophobic or gender critical I might not be fan. What points should be taken away from it?
