In this video: This is Entry #7 in MAI's Marxism-Leninism Basic Study Guide curriculum (see link below) and a fantastic resource for understanding the Marxist view of the bourgeois (capitalist) state and what a proletarian revolution must do with it (destroy and replace with something new). In my view, this text covers so many questions that people tend to have about basic socialist revolutionary ideas that it's a worthwhile jumping-off point for people who will read one and only one book about communism.

Socialism For All

I’m a US American studying Marxism (anti-revisionist Marxism-Leninism).

I often post human-read audiobooks of socialist texts, & I organize them into playlists. I sometimes add comments to the text while reading, similar to making notes in a book, & I sometimes make efforts to explain difficult concepts in the texts, partly for myself & partly for newer listeners.

I also stream on Twitch (https://twitch.tv/socialisms4a) most Thursdays @ 1 PM Pacific/4 PM Eastern/7 PM UTC, & I later post the streams to YouTube. Stream dates & times are announced on the Community tab on YouTube & also on Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, & Patreon.

After you've engaged with these online agitation and educational materials, I encourage you to get involved in your local left to network & become familiar with the existing parties, unions, & other groups engaging in class struggle in your area (not including Democrats, who are owned by the 1% & not a suitable forum for ideological struggle).
