There would be a lot more informed lemmy liberal users if they would just pick up a book sometime
(lemmy.ml)
They probably also wouldn't be liberals anymore though

Oh for sure, I'm not arguing against reading it, after all, but just pointing out that it isn't quite that easy.
I'm not disagreeing, I meant for The Principles of Communism specifically because it's such a short read. If most people read it just once it would save so much time that's usually spent clearing up misconceptions in conversations.
I wish most people would start with that instead of the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or "The Communist Manifesto" as most people call it). It gets through most of the misconceptions in a much faster and simpler way. I like that you have it listed first in your reading list.
Yep! I agree, that's why I put Principles in my list and not the manifesto.
