Reading up on politics can be quite daunting....as an example, Marx is fascinating, but quite difficult.
If you are inerested, can I simply recommend starting with " The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists " by Robert Tressell. It is widely accepted as being a socialist classic. Its genius is that it is a human, compelling story about the lives of ordinary folk suffering under the capitalist order of society in the early 20th century. It has a reputation of changing peoples' lives!
My grandad came around just a few days ago saying he'd quite like a framed picture of Marx in his living room. Wasn't Marx a bit loony? Or is that just the "right" pushing more prejudiced beliefs down our throats?
If I can't find that book on the internet (as an e-book thingy) I'll make sure I have it before the end of next month. Oh, I have a library card, I could try that.
