Really in the mood for reading some logic and equations

Not sure what you’re asking, exactly. Formal logic is one of the fundamental branches of math. AFAIK, there isn’t really a Marxist variation of it, any more than there’s a Marxist version of number theory or geometry.

CLR JAMES "notes on dialectics" if you want metaphysics, or Zizek if you can accept that he is wrong about past Socialist projects.

"Debt: the last 5000 years" by Graeber is a fantastic history of money, "Triumph of Evil" by Murphy has an alternative program for the DDR, and there's a book about defending Marx's long term drop in the rate of profit which i cannot remember or find that was really mathy.

I now believe it was "Reclaiming Marx's Capital" by Andrew Kliman

What davel said, but Alain Badiou might come close. Bertrand Russell too, although he was more an anti-imperialist than a Marxist.

If you are in for some equations, I recommend you Capitalism: competition, conflict, crisis by Anwar Shaikh. I think he is the most mathematical of all Marxist economists today.
