More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

What's your opinion on FRSO vs PSL?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

I've got a friend who joined PSL, and it sounds like they are a principled party. I'm less familiar with FRSO, but my understanding is that they have a Maoist lean.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Gotcha. They seem to only have a Maoist lean though, they describe themselves as Marxist-Leninist, but adopt concepts like the Mass Line. Plus, they use Linux apparently, which is neat

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Using Linux as the default is definitely very cool!

Yep! Still working my way through theory, and am org-shopping right now.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

That's a solid list, and well organized too! Lenin and Mao complement each other really well I find.

Good to hear! I'm almost through Marxism and the National Question, so Mao's texts are next before Org theory. Anything else you recommend adding to my reading list? I plan on reading Fanon, Feinberg, Losurdo, and other authors.

I think this is pretty comprehensive. Das Kapital is a good read as well, but it's more theoretical in terms of analyzing capitalist mechanics. It's a bit of tough read as well in my opinion. I think the books on the list are more practical in terms of explaining how tangible action works.

Another book I found really interesting was The East is Still Red. It describes China's path from the revolution, and it has a lot of insights into how society and economy evolves after the revolution https://redletterspp.com/products/the-east-is-still-red
