Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

They want the 1917 Russian Revolutions without the 60 years of thankless groundwork that preceded it.
They don't care about what actually causes change - they just want the aesthetic of change. Which goes a long way to explain why they simp for the Soviet Union and PRC so hard.
