Hi there folks,
While trying to learn about communism, I’m having problems finding literature that provides and example life under Communism. What I do find is propaganda either against or for it, involving unrealistic and bombastic content that is clearly not rooted in reality.
I’m not looking for historical content because I’m just trying to figure out what a life that the group is striving for would be like.
Thanks for your time!
Highly recommend reading This Soviet World which is a first hand account of life in USSR in 1930s https://lemmygrad.ml/post/2909935
This should be in the top most recommended reads for any communist. Along with Strong’s “When Serfs Stood Up in Tibet”. Imo you can get so much more from reading first hand accounts like these than you can from any amount of second hand history. I would put these works up there with the central works of ML theory in terms of importance.
I’ve added this to my reading list thank you for linking it.
👍
Seconded. This takes what’s laid out in ML theory and shows what it looks like in practice from an outsider’s perspective (a US citizen who moved to the USSR). It’s a great read and I found it very enlightening.
