we need a mass revolution

64 Upvotes

this is my first time posting here and I'm probably not even on the right subreddit but imo things are getting so dire there is a massive need for a revolution. like people EVERYWHERE need to start going against their governments and the upper class because this shit is getting insane. we've got pedophiles and fascists as world leaders , tech bros coming up with new and improved ways to destroy human creativity and evolution as we know it, just generally SO much going on. I am of the firm belief that when threats of this nature appear, humanity can overcome them, but that can only be done by taking action. we need more high stakes protests, we need our voices to be heard. I'm still young so I may not know what I'm talking about, but this is not the future I was promised. i don't want to live the rest of my life in misery because of a few scumbags high up.

It might be too early to judge but do y’all think socialism is gaining popularity in France with the protests? A recent article showed that searches for the communist manifesto increased by 5,000% (iirc) in Spain so I’m wondering the same for France.

Either way it’s the best time to radicalize the people especially the youth so it should be happening. I also feel like Macron knows the class character of the protest and that’s why he’s blaming it on Melenchon.

Where to start to read theory ?

8 Upvotes

For context I want to educate myself on theory and I just finished the Communist Manifesto and found it so interesting for a 70-page book. I would like to read Das Kapital but I’ve heard that it’s too heavy on economic theory to start with, so if you got any intermediates between them two to continue, or if you could share your experience with these I’d be grateful.
Have a great day !

Reading Recs and Sources on South Asian left movements

2 Upvotes

Hey ya'll, I'm new to this subreddit but I was wondering if anyone had any good books or sources to recommend to learn about liberation movements in specifically the Bengal region or modern-day Bangladesh and the West Bengal region of India from a Marxist or generally left-politics lens.

I would also appreciate just being given advice on where to look for good historical sources on this in general if anyone has any.

This is for a project I'm doing but also I am Bengali American and it shames me that I do not know nearly enough about the country or the region my parents are from. So I am trying my best to learn.
