I'm back in good health and should start posting serious theory discussions instead of talking about football all the time.

Post ideas here. Upbearing comments will be interprebeared as an expression of interest.

It would be good etiquette to mention the length of the book, as it's relevant to choosing.

I would read Historical Materialism: A System of Sociology by Nikolai Bukharin

Monopoly Capital by the people that founded Monthly Review (Sweezy and the other guy).

Edit: If anyone wants to do a "separate" book club, then let's try it.

I haven't read Monopoly Capital yet and I wouldn't mind reading Historical Materialism: A System of Sociology again.

Bukharin one is on my list.

Bukharin and Tomsky are honestly the best of the "Opposition" figures.

Fuck Trotsky. He's famous while the ones with stuff to actually say are kinda forgotten...
