Hey comrades, I'm looking for some non-fiction book recommendations that aren't explicitly Marxist, but still interesting or engaging or entertaining.

I've re-read a lot of my favorites too many times, so what are your faves? Any topic really.

I'm sure you've read Bevins work but if not those two are good

Aberration in the heartland of the real is fun

I liked anti-eodipus and a thousand plateaus. As far as non-Marxist, non-revolutionary, euro-leftist philosophy goes, they're pretty fun.

On the other side of Marx, Hegel is also worth studying. Maybe moreso actually, since I think western leftists tend to misunderstand Marx because they don't understand dialectics (and deleuze has been accused of such lol). I've heard it said that Lenin went back to Hegel to rescue Marx from the reformists (or something along those lines) and I'm beginning to suspect that may be necessary for modern theoretical struggles.

Kotkin is an anticommunist so I suppose his biographies of Stalin might count as non-Marxist lol

I found aberration as a youtube audiobook, I'll check it out.
