Welcome to /r/MarxistLiterature

Hi, I’m looking for Marxist literature on the topic of religion. Particularly on the compatibility of religion with Marxism or communism.

Hi everyone,

I recently saw a comment on a subreddit post, which I believed I’d saved, but I now can’t find it (I believe it was on a something like r/marxistculture, but I can’t find that either)!

The comment mentioned the name of a book which provided a level and critical breakdown of Stalin’s time in power, referenced against Western/US government propaganda (I think). The comment said it was important reading and enlightening, and I’d like to, but I don’t know the name!

If you’ve made it this far, and know the name of the book, or a similar book, I’d love to know. For context, I’m leftist, communist sympathetic, and eager to learn more about history, rather than myths and legends that are passed down through capitalist shills.

Thanks for reading this post, if you do, and I hope you have a pleasant end of December. ✊

TLDR; someone recommended a book about that actual history of Stalin, and for one reason of another I can’t find the comment that I thought I’d saved, or remember the name of the book.

Also, I recognise it’s not expressly Marxist, rather, Stalinist. I’m hoping that someone can still help. If not any book recommendations would be most welcome. Thank you

Hello:) For my thesis (I am going to be a child care worker) on family abolition's Bye to eugenics, i am looking for (early) Marxist and communist anti-eugenicist writing and (later) socialist writing in support of the disability rights movement. Also Marx' notions of Mehrarbeit's emancipatory potential (I remember I read somewhere about what could be done with it when it no longer serves profit-making). Happy for any help!

where is it that marx explains like the difference in efficiency between just making workers work more hours and adding technology to make work more efficient? I can't seem to remember the exact phrasing which is making it hard to find for a reference. Quotes, page numbers, anything that helps would be great

I hope this is an appropriate subreddit to ask about this. If not, I would greatly appreciate suggestions of more appropriate subreddits in which to pose it.

I had read somewhere years ago that Simone de Beauvoir had criticized male chauvinism in the French socialist movement but I'm trying to corroborate that now and can't find information about it.

I also remember reading years ago that Marx had maneuvered to shut down other First International members trying to make racism and sexism a priority but also am having trouble corroborating that as well.

Thank you

Good evening comrades

Lately, I've been doing a thing creating my own superhero OCs and writing stories with them in my free time. How I've been trying to differentiate them from more traditional superheroes such as Batman or Captain America is that they do not affiliate with the United States Government, Military, or Police, and I try write them with a more anti-capitalist approach.

For example, I wrote a character who is an assassin from the future whose world was destroyed as a result of events set in place by a wealthy CEO, and he goes back in time and becomes a superhero in order to try to stop the chain of events from occurring. I've also included other "superhero" characters who are hired by the government as well as private contractors to try to kill him. To build up tension, I've included scenarios where he has to decide who was really responsible for the destruction of his world, and who were merely exploited workers who had no idea what their work would lead to.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Does anyone know where to access this title?
