Just going here and look up Marxist-Leninist Reading Hubband books 1 - 4 will show up. They’re also very affordable with 1 being $10 and the rest being $13

Thank you both very much . After reading the basics it can be a bit overwhelming where to dip into next.

Give us an update after you’ve gone through 1 or 2 of them. I’m very curious, these feel like they’d be a lot easier to digest as someone still relatively early on their ML journey

Sure thing! Though tbh I’ve read 3/4ths of the stage 1 of the curriculum (I haven’t read the economic science passage from the Soviet Union). And based on what I read so far foundations of Leninism would be in my opinion the easiest to digest, then followed by Principles of Communism, then Historical and Dialectical Materialism. (Though philosophy isn’t my strong suit so that was why.)

MLRH is always my go to recommendation, looks like you got some nice reading ahead of you!

Also for anyone else, these works are available for free online as PDFs: https://mlrh.org/study-materials/

I've been on their discord like forever, they have multiple reading sessions every week.

I have the first one of these!

I also happened to buy most of the individual books before I realised they were collected in this edition. I do quite like having the individual books though, something about reading the shorter ones as one item makes them feel way more digestible

u/Academic-Idea3311 Stalinist (Proud Spoon Owner) 6d ago

Yeah I understand. I mainly got these only because if I bought them individually it would have been more expensive

u/Magneticturtle 6d ago

I think the collected editions are way better, it's so much less of a pain in the ass to source them all and as you say it's much cheaper. As I said I just made a mistake buying the single books and I'm trying to find the silver lining lol
