Care engaging with the post instead of reflexively being repulsed by it? Maybe give the contents a read, you might learn something !

Some might find this post distasteful or fear even engaging with its content remotely in good faith because of the indoctrination and lies they've been force fed over the past several years on the topic, but gotta eat your greens: this is a fantastic and necessary post that will, hopefully, be read largely.

Let's gooo!

Also pretty sure Bolivia is holding an international Lithium forum with Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela in the coming days to discuss how to develop and utilize Lithium in a way that benefits the region as a whole and done in a sustainable way while also benefiting the people first and foremost.

I don't want to be an ass, truly, but any foundational guide to ML should include marxist feminist texts, decolonization texts, and marxist influenced queer liberation texts.

ML is an evolving science and giving a reading guide that is fundamentally pre 1920 is not great. It's reminiscent of what trots do tbh.

Seeing Sakai, who is valuable, but memeified, but not Fanon? Really?

Atleast include Kollontai, also. Maybe also some Arruzza and Federici.

Disagree or agree with PSL, but their liberation school curriculum is on point.

IMO this list is filled with redundant texts and non necessary reads also. This is fully inadequate to beginners, and also runs the risk of beginners seeing necessary and crucial developments in ML thought as secondary. A lot needs to be scrapped.

I'd also recommend including Althusser and Gramsci.
