More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

What's your opinion on FRSO vs PSL?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've got a friend who joined PSL, and it sounds like they are a principled party. I'm less familiar with FRSO, but my understanding is that they have a Maoist lean.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gotcha. They seem to only have a Maoist lean though, they describe themselves as Marxist-Leninist, but adopt concepts like the Mass Line. Plus, they use Linux apparently, which is neat

Using Linux as the default is definitely very cool!

Yep! Still working my way through theory, and am org-shopping right now.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a solid list, and well organized too! Lenin and Mao complement each other really well I find.

Good to hear! I'm almost through Marxism and the National Question, so Mao's texts are next before Org theory. Anything else you recommend adding to my reading list? I plan on reading Fanon, Feinberg, Losurdo, and other authors.

I think this is pretty comprehensive. Das Kapital is a good read as well, but it's more theoretical in terms of analyzing capitalist mechanics. It's a bit of tough read as well in my opinion. I think the books on the list are more practical in terms of explaining how tangible action works.

Another book I found really interesting was The East is Still Red. It describes China's path from the revolution, and it has a lot of insights into how society and economy evolves after the revolution https://redletterspp.com/products/the-east-is-still-red
