do you have to read theory to be a leftist? | patches & parley

some non-reading-resources!!
(i can't personally vouch for all of these, as I discuss in this video I do prefer to read, but these are oft-recommended and I hope you find something to your liking :))

afro marxist: interviews, speeches, and discussions with black leftists -
   / @afromarxist  

thoughtslime: one of my fav youtube channels, current events, pop culture, sometimes just theory. anarchist, often very funny, plus he shouts out other, smaller leftist channels is practically every video!
   / @thoughtslime  

radical reviewer: mostly leftist book reviews and an assortment of other info. you may learn something w/o even reading the book, discover a book you'd actually want to read (or listen to), plus there's a dog!
   / @radicalreviewer  

audible anarchist: a collection of volunteers that read aloud not only books (broken into chapters), but essays!! check out their playlists, it's very well-organized. on youtube:
   / @audibleanarchist1  

the anarchist zine library: (okay, zines often feature writing, but they're generally short and some of u may enjoy these anyway)
https://azinelibrary.org/

marxists.org is an admittedly ugly website, but they're worth exploring -- they've got some audiobooks, essays, ebooks, tons of good resources

playlist put together by a commenter w/ multiple audiobooks on youtube!
