We have seen what is possible under Socialism. Many comments have noted how great it was. But just wishing that things were like that will not make it so, we must make it and we must learn how to make it. So would you like to read theory? (You will not be added to the list and pinged beyond this, unless you indicate so)

I made it further into the Soviet world book (about half way) than the first reading group I did

Sign me up
I would. I like reading along and very much enjoy reading the comments, even though I don’t really have spoons to comment myself. But every time I learn something new.
Yeah, sign me up and I’ll catch up
I’m still here!
Yes please add me, maybe I’ll get to participate beyond two chapters
I signed up for the last one and got behind and stopped when things sped up. So I guess I can try again.
Heck yeah! Sign me up!
Yes, i will do my best to keep up!
What do we have on the docket for Theory?
The entire basic reading list, spread over a bit more than 6 months.
Oh that sounds very fun. Yeah, why not? I’ll try and join in.
We will be reading Cowbee’s Marxism-Leninism Study Guide: Basic Course

I’m in, thanks :) can’t promise I’ll make every text, but I’ll try to and I already read most of the first weeks texts.
Put me in, my body is soggy :soggy-shining:
please let me in
I’m pretty burnt out and overwhelmed and I have a lot going on rn so I may fall behind but this sounds interesting and I’d love to at least try to keep up :)
I hope as many people join as possible! With that being said, I will also be participating, as I have not yet done a step-by-step readthrough myself. I will actively be looking for feedback on improvements. Primarily, I wish to ruthlessly cut what does not add tremendously to the guide, as I firmly believe the goal of this guide is to equip people with the basic knowledge needed to join an organization active in their areas, and carry on your studies with the party you join.
I also think this list will be very helpful both for new comrades that have not studied much, as well as comrades that have studied a lot. I have included lesser-read works that I believe deserve study and discussion. Each week, I will give my thought process on why I included each work, why they have their place, and whether or not I think they should be taken out or replaced.
I will be reading everyone’s comments eagerly, and cannot wait to study alongside everyone!
