Want to give these libs some theory to read but think they’ll be scared off by Marx and Lenin? Anything a bit more SocDem friendly that gets the basic points across - class consciousness, why they need to organise and how etc.?

Shoer articles preferred but anything will do tbh

    Hahaha yeah I’m in awe of how Wells is full of himself, my favourite quotes are “It seems to me that I am more to the Left than you, Mr Stalin” which Wells utters in the same breath he praises Henry fucking Ford who would later support NSDAP with such fervor Hitler wanted to make Ford the leader of the fascist movement in the US; and “I do not know if you are prepared yet for that much freedom” in regards to the PEN Club, which at the time of this interview forbid it’s members from using words such as “nationalism, inter-nationalism, democracy, aristocracy, imperialistic, anti-imperialistic, bourgeoisie, revolutionist or alike”, wow that’s way too much freedom for authoritarian Soviets to handle lol
