The Communist Manifesto? Is that a video game?
Leon Trotsky? What’s his Twitter handle?
Antonio Gramsci? Did he invent Instagram?

Hot take: telling a lib to read State and Revolution probably won’t work or radicalize them.
Agreed. The Lib --> Leftist pipeline for westerners needs to start with youtube videos that seem inoffensive on the surface, like Second Thought, Hakim, etc. Then after the more approachable video content, they might be willing to dig into theory. It’s like trying to convert someone to Christianity by telling them to read the Book of Revelations.
Honestly, Second Thought is what started my lib->leftist pipeline. I owe them so much, lmao
Because they won’t read it anyway?
State and Rev is mostly a DemSoc vs RevSoc debate along with theoretical details on the latter, it’s not a “self-identifying liberal” vs socialist thing.
It’s a common but unproductive habit to wave favored books at people like they are scripture. I think State and Rev is great, but I would never tell someone to read it as a first Marxist work.
Yeah no one really reads theory until they’re already a socialist and are curious to learn more about it
