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.

count me in for the cowbee reading group. It will be beneficial to (re)read those texts for the purposes of solidifying and cross referencing. (yarn wall meme)

Are we doing critical analysis discussion as well? I ask because ~6 months for the whole course seems like a pretty brisk pace.

    I will post a thread every monday you can add comments to about the weeks reading. Others will hopefully also add comments so you can reply to them to talk about it.
