  • If a large marxist-leninist party does not exist, this may be the next best option given your cirumstances. You are also in the imperial core, so I think it would be very difficult to find a party that does not have at least some large issues in this regard… If we do not have the means to have our own organization yet, it would seem somewhat reductive to try to create one, given how much time and energy that requires.

    I tend to think of what Lenin said regarding reactionary trade unions. They need to be worked with as they are the main proletarian organizations. Trying to create your own “pure” union often serves the risk of just removing potential connections you could have made otherwise.

    It really depends on the social conditions what path regarding these kinds of less ideologically coherent parties should be taken I think.




  • For Walter Rodney, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is perhaps his most well known work. I have read that, and Decolonial Marxism. Both are very wonderful and comprehensive.

    Anuradha Ghandy’s book on feminist trends has been immensely useful for me in navigating a lot of idealistic tendencies which exist. Her statements regarding anarchist organizing particularly is something I think of often. It is a very short book, so it may be easier to go through as well.

    And Vijay Prishad writes constantly. He is in a lot of leftist outlets being interviewed, or writing articles The books I can think of from him are Washington’s Bullets, and Red Star Over the Third World.
