Hello. I will be running two reading groups, one for Cowbee's Marxism-Leninism Study Guide: Basic Course, and another for Soviet Democracy, and am looking for participants. If you would like to join, make sure you can see hexbear communities (specifically !soviet@hexbear.net and !marxism@hexbear.net), and then make a comment stating which you would like to join and I will add you to the list.

We will start reading each book on monday, see the programs down below for what we will read each week.

    Reading circles help! You can bounce ideas off of others, and the schedule helps maintain momentum!

    Reading circles help!

    it’s clearly the only path forward, but i literally just got rejected yesterday by the 3rd group i’ve tried to join this year and that’s been a pattern for me since 2001 – reading groups are not option-able for a lot of people.
