I know blowback is amazing for that, but, does anyone know of any good books or articles that can contribute to coming to a truely international perspective?

Unfortunately I think it doesn’t really matter what you put in front of people so long as capitalism/colonialism/imperialism/patriarchy is still working for them on some level. Some of us were born into anticapitalist families who had already been fucked relentlessly by this monster, but I spent the first three decades of my life believing in it until it came for me, too. Even then, it took time for me to figure things out (with the help of many other people) and I learn more every day. Communist propaganda just looks like gibberish to people who are doing alright under capitalism. I do think that having an online community that just continually dunks on liberals and fascists while telling people to read theory and history does go a long way toward helping people who have been fucked but who haven’t quite figured out why yet.
