My partner has all the right political instincts and really wants to bolster their knowledge of the systems of socialism/communism and the ideologies therein.
I was initially thinking of recommending Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti as that was an entry point for me to shed any remaining lib tendencies I had.
Would love to hear what y'all would recommend!
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is a good quick read
I also second Blackshirts and Reds, Parenti is so good at getting the point across
Thanks for the recommendations![heart-sickle heart-sickle](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/14c2707b-51cb-44ed-be2f-f262d088e219.png)
