Hey, I’m quite new here learning stuff, having fun and mostly not understanding a whole lot, although I only had nice interactions around here comrade-doggo

Please share resources you think would be nice for me to learn about. Also feel free to ask my opinion about various subjects and teach me if you think I’m wrong/ignorant. I reserve the right to ignore some stuff as I suffer from anxiety and sometime getting out there is hard.

I might also be willing to discuss via SimpleX

I consider myself a leftist although not that educated.

That's a reasonable critique that I generally agree with, though Anarchism has had a lot of growth over the years in terms of theory and practice.

I will say though, based on your answers, the list I linked would be great. It starts you off on simple terms and concepts, then goes in-depth, then expands it to the modern era, then it moves to organizational theory and practice. I've read more works than are just in this list, but it really does serve as a great guided experience for the basics.

Then, you can branch out to Feinberg, Fanon, Losurdo, Parenti, or swing over to Anarchists with Goldman, Kropotkin, etc. Don't refuse to read theory "across the aisle," there's a lot to learn from everyone.
