The Communist Bloc has compiled a list of readings and resources for those who wish to learn more about leftist thought. This list is non-comprehensive and will be updated over time. If you have any concerns or believe a vital resource is missing, please send a telegram to [nation]Information of the Communist Bloc[/nation].[/size]

An older version of this document can be found [url=https://www.nationstates.net/nation=ubertas/detail=factbook/id=1081140]here.[/url] Some links here are dead, but this has plenty more resources that haven't been included here yet.

[tr][td=4][url=https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/socialism_faq.md]Socialism FAQ[/url] - [i][u]This site is strongly recommended[/u], especially for those who are new to leftism and do not know where to start.
