The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky

Wrote a review for

Alright follow up to the State and Revolution, has clear writing. I think Bordiga makes the same points in better writing style, and in more general terms, but it's good history.

Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, Volume 3

Wrote a review for

It's a lot to get through, but it's very important to read if you are going to be discussing marxism a lot. I do find due to the length it's hard to get it all down pat, so I'll need supplementary material to have it all down-pat, and this material will theoretically supersede this book. It's very boring, but one of the most important books to read.

History and Class Consciousness: Studies in Marxist Dialectics

Wrote a review for

You only really need to read: What is Orthodox Marxism?, Class Consciousness, and Reification and the Consciousness of the Proletariat. The rest is outdated, wrong or superfluous. But these three essays are amazing at highlighting key theoretical points of confusion in Marxism, as well as the best definitions of what it is, and link up nicely with later Critical Theory, like Adorno.
