Just thinking about what quick, digestible document I could throw at libs who are panicking and desperate for something to hold on to and i can't really think of something that's written for treat demons but still actually communist.

Any thoughts?

Thank you for bringing this up. Just handing someone a book of leftist theory isn't going to do anything if the person isn't able to understand what they're reading. I've seen a lot of recommendations for leftist books. But every book I've seen recommended is well above the reading level of a majority of the US. Relevant to current events, liberal media talked down about how basic Trump's speeches were, literally calling him a "low grade elementary schooler". However, talking in such a basic manner meant that people could understand what he was saying. It should be unsurprising that people will support a message they can understand over one they can't.

I know I'm an outsider here, so please let me know if this out of line, but this is something I care a lot about after my neighbors tried to read The Communist Manifesto in their first semester of college and were completely unable to understand any of it (relatedly, if anyone knows of any leftist works of any type that would be accessible with only basic literacy skills, I would love to hear about them.)
