Socialism Speedrun Any%
Are you asking for a beginner course on socialist theory? or for pointers on putting socialism into practice?
There are repositories for both things, but I always point people to reading (or listening to) The Communist Manifesto first. It’s not an overly difficult read for most people, but listening to it in full takes about an hour and a half. If time is an issue, you can watch a summary like this one. In my opinion, you must read TCM and get a strong foundation before you start to read or discuss other socialist theorists, as all notable socialist theorists use Marxism as a basis - unless they’re non-Marxist.
Lemmygrad is the overtly communist instance of Lemmy, we have some resources, and our theory communities are always willing to explain the basics.
Gravel Institute has some decent stuff on youtube, if that’s your thing.
But on putting socialism into practice, figure out which parties are the most active in your area, and see how they try to interact with their communities. The best way to apply socialism will change place to place, so it’s best to just join a party and go from there.

I highly recommend reading “Socialism…Seriously.” by Danny Katch. It’s a very short read, but is an excellent introduction to the basic principles of socialism.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml to the rescue! IMO he made one of the best collections of socialist resources I’ve seen outside of, like, an actual textbook from a socialist country like China or Cuba.
- Crash Course Socialism
- Capitalism doesn’t work
- Glossary of socialist terms
- Socialism faq
- Marxism Study Plan
Also, these videos by Hakim are pretty fun and good for people who have never been properly exposed to socialist discourse.
