does anyone think drew gooden should study socialist theory, and if so, do you have anything good for him?
oh and do you have any good socialist theory books for me to study, and is there any way i can study in simple terms and without losing focus quickly and also encourage myself to study?
Idk I just take lots of notes. I was never great at studying in school. For theory I try to like summarize my thoughts on what I’m reading to myself every few paragraphs. Maybe that’s kinda what you’re talking about.
The reality is this stuff isn’t the easiest to read so its just gonna be work. Take it slow. Its a journey not a race. Watch videos to help reinforce stuff. Trying to do reading groups if you can and talk about it with others because that alone will help solidify things.
Also maybe dont start with theory. Start with some of the more accessible stuff first and ease into it. You’ll learn a lot of the concepts that theory will then pick apart and explain more.
do you have any recs on that? oh and i CAN’T go outside without permission - are there any online reading groups?
You’d have to look in your area or find communities online to that do them. I know for instance that lemmygrad.ml has a rolling theory reading group that seems pretty active but I’ve never engaged with it to know.
One last recommendation for socialist theory would also be like YouTube channels. The Deprogram Podcast is a great entry point there - the hosts all have amazing YouTube channels that might be an even more accessible entry point. That was actually how I got started learning theory before I knew that’s what i was doing.
Good luck on your journey to education comrade!
