politics

Hi everyone, I’ve really been wanting to learn more about anarchism and communism, especially because they’re so misunderstood and it seems they’re never really portrayed correctly, especially in America where the idea of socialism is enough to spark reactions. I’m 20 and have always been interest in politics as a trans person whose been raised to question authority and what I see and hear from politicians, on TV, etc. but I never really dug in to politics much until now. I’ve never been satisfied by “just being liberal” and I care more about extreme/revolutionary societal change and have always been disillusioned with capitalism, especially after experiencing horrible financial conditions that included me and my dad losing our house, a few years of having to live with a friend of his, and we now live in an apartment and it’s fairly stable but we’re always having to find ways to save and have had to deal with a few eviction notices.

I purchased anarchism and other essays by Emma Goldman and foundations of Leninism by JV Stalin from a used bookstore so far, but does anyone have any other recommendations?

Sorry if I sound like a noob, it’s because I am :)
