I’ve been using YouTube since forever, and it’s the only corporate social media platform (beside Discord) that I still use. However, I would like to explore PeerTube, does anyone have some recommendations for good PeerTube channels and other tips and tricks for PeerTube itself?

      There are a lot of audiobooks for theory on that instance, so it’s useful for anyone wanting to get into leftist theory.

        Cool. I remember following Dessalines on youtube for audiobooks. Are they available there too?

        Also, I read/listened some of the books that you recommended. Probably didn’t understand or remember it all, but it was useful.

        Thank you.

        Tired to read Capital. It seems tricky/weird for me.
        I’m not a native speaker of English. So maybe that too.

        Is there any summarised Intro to Marxist Theory/ Dialectical Materialism book, that is relatively more recent(and freely available on the net)?

          Some of Dessalines’ audiobooks are on TT, I think!

          I wouldn’t recommend Capital for a beginner, I’m reading through volumes 1-3 this year and it certainly helps that I’ve read more from Marx, Engels, etc before jumping into it.

          As for an intro to Marxist theory, that’s a very broad question. The clearest intro to DiaMat in my opinion is Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy, have you tried that one? For Marxism in general, I prefer Principles of Communism, but Dessalines keeps a Crash Course on Socialism that I also like.

          Thanks for reading some of what I recommend! Do you have any particular struggle areas? I think the best thing to do would be to see if there is a good Communist party in your native language and ask if they have study material for you, education is a big part of org work and they may have a course that is especially tuned for your particular environment and language.
