That’s exactly how I approach theory as well!

I’ll look up for an audio book, podcast, video or something that I can listen to while doing something else so that I can at least get acquainted with the terminology used and write down something I might need to search for it (eg. Let’s say the topic is about a specific event that happened in the USSR that I’m not familiar with. Before listening to that audio again, I’d like to have looked more into that event and the factors that led to it).

And of course, repetition is key. If possible, I’ll try my best to read even just a quick paragraph during the day and ask myself what I learned from the previous paragraph.

Also, since we mentioned audio books, I can’t recommend or thank Dessalines enough for his amazing YouTube channel which has an insane amount of audios recorded by him

I’d like to express how astoundingly great this platform is. Especially if one compares it to Reddit (since that’s where I had heard about this platform).

Like, I was already on board with the whole idea of having federated groups and not be reliant on one massive corporation that, among other things, can treat its users and communities however it deems fit. But also, just the quality of conversations here is on a completely different level.

Just to give an example, after being helped so much with a question I had here, I made the mistake of trying to ask a different question I was curious about over at Reddit.

While here I received truly helpful replies, comments and resources that actually helped me with my question (in addition to giving me food for thought to challenge my own ideas), over there I was belittled for not knowing enough about the very topic I was asking questions about lol.

Y’all are some seriously smart folks and I wanted to appreciate you and this platform for all the precious knowledge you’re willing to share! <3

dont assume that an org is legit just because it has “communist” in the name.

Very fair argument! As someone who’s building up confidence with these topics and views, looking at organisations that have communist in the name is usually a great entry-level way to see what the general leftitst consensus seems to be.

But indeed the biggest takeaway from all of this has been what you correctly pointed out

Very encouraging to read that at least the Wales communists are against the ruling and the CPB’s position on it. I had no idea most British communist parties were so sneakily anti trans though

Thus, alongside the patriarchal ideology and the bourgeois family, the demands and beliefs of the liberal feminist movement was consolidated and solidified in the ruling classes’ apparatus. This explains the origins and the constant support for so-called ‘sex-based rights’ groups which have existed for over a hundred years and now are being directed by the bourgeoisie against transgender people.

This was very interesting! And it rang even more accurate after reading from a lot of users in here that most British communist organisations seem to fall into this category sadly.

It was basically the reply to my whole question lol so thank you

relations to the means of reproduction in pretty much any society form the class system which we call gender

That made so much sense and yet I’ve never thought about it that way, thank you for your explanation! And also for the link, it’s already a very interesting read that touches on exactly some doubts I was having with this whole supreme court situation
