For what it's worth, I would consider my former self to have been liberal, but with reactionary views shaped by those I grew up around. I don't think we would have been far apart in terms of views, I didn't start supporting AES until I truly did the legwork of diving deep into Marxist theory and history. If I wanted a shortcut, I would have read Blackshirts and Reds first, which is why it's early in the reading list I made.

As for being British and Nigerian, Blowback is still great, and helps explain a more sympathetic view towards Iraq, Cuba, Korea, etc. It has 5 seasons, 1 topic each.
