Three Recommended Watches

People of the Shining Path
Breaking With Old Ideas
Come and See

If viewing's your pleasure, I recommend sitting down and watching these when you have a moment. The first is a documentary on the Communist Party of Peru (they get labeled the Shining Path by the bourgeoisie media, you can always tell someone's sympathies by whether or not they call the Communist Party of Peru by their correct name) made during the height of the People's War in 1992, months before Chairman Gonzalo was captured by the Peruvian government and the CIA. The second is a movie produced in China during the Cultural Revolution and I consider it a wonderful piece of revolutionary art. The last is a film about Soviet partisans fighting Nazi war crimes in Belarus, be prepared to cry.

Three Recommended Reads

Interview with Chairman Gonzalo
Talks at the Yenan Forum on Literature and Art
Foundations of Leninism

If anyone were to walk up the street and ask me, “What should I read about Communism if I want to know more about the real stuff and not what Tucker Carlson or some dingus with a webcam on YouTube tells me it's all about?” I'd direct them to these three texts, not even the Communist Manifesto. Each one of these little documents is special to me and none of them are longer than 200 pages. I honestly think Interview with Chairman Gonzalo should be the default Manifesto of the 21st century.

Useful Websites

Foreign Languages Press, France
Banned Thought
Communist International
Redspark
The Encyclopedia of Anti-Revisionism Online

Foreign Languages Press is a nice little publishing house in France that produces works of Maoist theory at an affordable price, they also offer PDFs for free! Banned Thought is another PDF repository with a dizzying amount of documents and information. Communist International and Redspark are newspapers so you can keep up with day to day developments and read international declarations from various Parties and organizations around the world. The last is a little known section of the marxists.org archive with plenty of documents from the history of anti-revisionist movements and organizations from the late 50s to the early 90s.
