every western communist should read The German Communist Resistance 1933-1945 imo. short and very concise, well-supported historical research. destroys the common myth that german communists were unable to operate after losing their leadership in 1933, gets much deeper into the details of the later stages of the conflict between the KPD and SPD, eminently relevant tactically and strategically for anyone concerned about fascism today. the german communists and supportive workers of this era have been killed twice—first by the nazis, and secondly by a post-war historiography that has erased them while rehabilitating fascists and collaborators in the name of anti-communism.

give me your favorite quote by a marxist now its important

"Yes, everyone must be involved in the struggle for the sake of the common salvation. There are no clean hands, no innocent bystanders. We are all in the process of dirtying our hands in the quagmire of our soil and the terrifying void of our minds. Any bystander is a coward or a traitor." - Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.” ― Karl Marx, Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

Theres 100% a growing attitude among leftists that spend all their time logged on that reading theory is either not worth it or is "elitist" and its incredibly bizarre. The left is not some club you join by watching YouTube videos all day, we're a very large group of people who base our beliefs on complex, fact-based understandings of class analysis and economics, theory exists to clarify these things. Anti-intellectualism in the form of talking like theory is just two old dead white guys is both counter-productive and actively stupid
