Here’s a good study list, but it’s specifically about marxism, so some deprogramming from imperial propaganda first might be needed, Blackshirts and Reds (and most other books by Parenti) is good starting book in English
Good idea. Read about a hypothetical economic theory that is impossible to implement unless everyone become obedient to a small group of elitist while pretending the people are in control. I’m sure you’ll get it right this time
Read Marx, everyone.
Why would I want to read some crusty old dude that is outdated?
Political theory has moved on since Marx yet people still cling to him like a religion (like a cult).
Because he isn’t outdated. People have built upon him, but the foundations he and Engels laid out remain true.
Do you have a good starting point? I have a rudimentary understanding of Marxism, but not much in the way of details.
I have a lot of suggestions, but for starters, what do you know so far, and what do you think you’re lacking in?

Thanks, that is a lot to sink my teeth into!

You’re exactly the type of person that needs to read Marx.
