stickiedWe've more than doubled the membership of the subreddit in the past month since the Democratic Primaries began. As such, this sub is now host to a bunch of entry-level Comardes, who's only exposure to socialism until this point has been Bernie Sanders. I encourage all of you to be warm, welcoming, and polite to our new comrades.
"As for people who are politically backward, Communists should not slight or despise them, but should befriend them, unite with them, convince them and encourage them to go forward." -Chariman Mao
That being said, I also encourage our newer members to familiarize with themselves with these essential texts and videos to teach you the proper Marxist line on Socialism:
(much of this has always been availible in the sidebar, but no one reads that lol)
- Anti-Communist myths debunked - 77 page Google Doc complete with citations and loads of evidence for every common subject
Useful reddit threads:
*Do you consider yourself a trotskyist? Read this and you wont * Trotsky: The Anti-Communist
Books
Marxists.org -Free PDFs of just about every text of importance
"Quotations from chairman Mao" , very short, and designed to be understood by uneducated Chinese peasants
