The following Reading Guide is only an initial attempt at beginning to organize many of the texts scattered among the various "Collections" into broad topical areas. It is my hope that this may assist not only readers who are unfamiliar with the basic texts of Scientific Socialism and the Communist movement, but those who have gone beyond the basics and wish to deepen their knowledge of specific areas. Needless to say, these "topical areas" do not exhaust the subject matter contained in the Collections, nor are they exclusive of each other. As always, your comments, suggestions, and criticisms are always welcome, and most especially in regard to developing this Reading Guide.
Basics for Beginners:
The following texts are recommended to for those who have very little, or, in this day and age of reaction, absolutely no, familiarity of with the basic tenets of Scientific Socialism. Most of these texts offer broad brush strokes, and others provide a little more detail. This material is barely the "tip of the iceberg" and only include texts contained in this website.
