Anyway, Stanley, Klein, Grandin - all writers you're going to find on the shelf with liberalism, who can be very very very useful to you and have a lot to teach you.
Keep those names in mind.

@AnarchoNinaWrites trotsky's "what is national socialism" is a work that has shaped my view of fascism significantly
@jackielovescompchem32 My favorite ML writer remains James, but Trotsky is up there. I enjoyed the book he wrote from exile too. Finally made it easy for me to understand why I agreed with 90% of the stuff by communists I was reading but violently rejected the remaining 10%. The Revolution Betrayed or something similar...
(I'm genuinely not sure any of them ARE liberals btw - that's sort of the kicker. Stanley might be, but if you listen to Grandin and Klein talk long enough, you get the idea that they are at a minimum New Dealer progressives and quite possibly further left than that - but their work will be sold alongside Steve Pinker's books, which I can't really say about Trotsky, Kropotkin, or even Dave Graeber.)
