What that guy and other natsocs are doing though is the inversion this, which is even more brain damaged. It would be like a communist claiming McCarthy era USA as communist in the wake of FDRs legacy. Look at this fucking retard for instance >>21061474 he actually thought that Xi Jinping quote was an epic btfo. Like really, that quote is at explicit odds with the natsoc and he still--somehow--bent it to suit him. Ignoring this, then what does he make of all the red flags, hammers and sickles, the enormous likenesses of Marx and other prominent Leninist commies in their official buildings, and the universities dedicated to the instruction of Marxism? Do they know that Marxism is at odds with national socialism? Xi Jinping reveres Stalin ffs - the man who was at the helm of annihilating the only actually existing incidence of national socialism in history. How many more clues do natsocs in current year need that China is not natsoc?

Be warned that liberals/rightoids will tell you to read critical secondary material before reading marx himself so that you nurture an approved opinion of marx before ever having read him. Read marx first, digest it, think about it, discuss it, read secondary material later.
As for materials:
>The Principles of Communism by Friedrich Engels
Some anon was having a cry saying that this is for children who can't read. Of course I'm going to recommend the easiest text to begin, it's still a good basic introduction. I don't know your reading capabilities and most people even here don't read. Substitute it for the manifesto if you're a decent reader who won't get easily bored/filtered.
>Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Friedrich Engels
>Wage Labour and Capital by Karl Marx
>Value, Price and Profit by Marx
>The State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin
>Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism by Vladimir Lenin
>Basics of Leninism; Dialectical and Historical Materialism by Joseph Stalin
If your instinct is to recoil at Lenin and Stalin, then that means the State Department's use of your tax dollars has been lucrative. The ONLY successful socialist revolutions have been marxist-leninist. One of the current world superpowers is marxist-leninist. Ask yourself why that may be.
