Ok, so I’m gonna get some downvotes from this, but I think of the Anarchists as allies, not as enemies. The longer Marxists and Anarchists bicker about which type of socialism is best, the stronger the bourgeoisie gets. If we want to overthrow the bourgeoisie, Marxists and Anarchists need to band together, not bicker. The true enemy is not the Anarchist. The true enemy is the capitalist.
your list is great! i would add marx’s Critique of the Gotha Programme as i think it is excellent for beginners since it goes into a lot of ideas but isn’t as long as some other texts.
Okay, but what’s the issue in being a fan of the pre-Stalin Soviet democracies?
what are you referring to specifically?
how is this a relevant to my previous comment?
