'Red' and/ or 'Anarchist'. What the fuck is that? People in the US just don't know.
We expected our membership to understand what they said they were into.
The working class struggle in the USA and around the world.
Anti-fascism.
The struggle for justice.
Not the type of shit you're gonna learn about in school.
Self-education is a must.
Towards that end we created a 'Basic Political Education Booklist' of 13 titles.
We figured even slow readers could finish at least one title every 4 weeks.
If you joined up you were expected to read this shit.
Here were the first 13 titles on the list, and the subjects they covered
U.S. WORKING CLASS RADICAL HISTORY
PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE USA
