But the thing is that they aren't formed by reading, unless you mean USSR propaganda pamphlets.

The straight up denial that Russia or China could do anything wrong is what gets me, same with the claim that Communism is in itself viable.

Communism is a fairy tale, just like the Free Market, for the exact same reason.

My user name is literally based on Thomas Sankara lol, but ok nice strawman im sure the person you just invented in your head is scary.

I also have a degree in sociology and read up to date sociological studies, I've read most of Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Marx and I've read most of what Sankara, Fred Hampton, Angella Davis and Claudia Jones have to say for one.

What have you read?
