It is once again time to collect more suggestions. As usual, texts should be Marxist theory of some kind and will be selected (if appropriate) roughly based on number of upvotes.
Avoid suggesting the following texts since they've already been used:
Classes in Chinese Society by Mao is a good one, even if not directly 1:1 applicable to modern conditions.
And I'll reccomend basically anything by Gramsci because he's one of my favorites. Id say "Revolution Against Capital" because I think I lays out his thoughts well, but it's a bit short so idk

Psychological Warfare in the Strategy of Imperialism is an absolute must read. It lays out the mechanics of western propaganda tracing them back to nazi methods developed during WW2.
Would be nice if there was an .epub of this, I'll try to dig more.
Saved, thx.
Just what I needed 🤩
Some ideas:
The origin of the Family, Private Property and State (Friedrich Engels)
Inventing Reality (Michael Parenti)
Neo-Colonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism (Kwame Nkrumah)
Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, A Concise Guide (Roland Boer)
Reform or Revolution (Rosa Luxemburg)
If a non-marxist is allowed, I'd like to suggest Clausewitz's hefty On War. Been meaning to get through it.
Maybe it can go accompanied by Mikhail Frunze's "Front and Rear in Future War" and "Unified Military Doctrine and the Red Army".
Aimé Césaire’s Discourse on Colonialism
