AFAIK, we you join pretty much any communist party they give you materials for basic comprehention and provide you with some materials. It generally is some extract of a text and some party written stuff, maybe we could do something like that. Or a very brief and short text, and a “bigger” one for a bit more in depth understanding (complete Communist Manifesto and a few more articles/short book)?
Don’t the dessalines’ study guides and reading lists pretty much cover the basics? It’s a good idea, but I’m not sure if there’s a need given the quality and accessibility of what’s already out there.
Yeah, I was thinking on using that as a base, but IMO Dessalines works cover a wide array of topics, some which are not so immediately neccesary for a complete beginner and which a lot of the times are learnt not even by reading those but through conversations in the fora. Ideally, condensing the most necessary concepts and ideas into a PDF/EPUB for easy access in an orderly manner is way more helpful. I think some people who came here because they first joined Lemmy and then saw a couple posts from Lemmygrad that resonated with them and haven’t read any theory are most likely to read a, let’s say, 4/5 page PDF than throwing them a link to the whole of Dessalines’s essays and tell them “Have fun!”.
That’s a good point, then maybe there is an unfilled niche for a concise intro piece.
Okay, if you have any recommendation on what concepts/ideas we should include you are welcomed.
