Marxism and Cuba

Marx's Concept of Man

- Author: Erich Fromm
- Published: 1961
- Personal note: Erich Fromm is a German social psychologist and philosopher who was heavily influenced by Marx. I recommend reading his book because it's short and concise, summarizing most of Marx's major points in simple terms.

The Communist Manifesto

- Author: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
- Published: 1848
- Personal note: The best place to begin in understanding Marx's utopian ideal is through his Communist Manifesto, which Friedrich Engels also contributed to its creation. It's a short book, with only 50 pages to it, and easy to follow. It also warms you up to Marx's stylistic writing.

The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto

- Author: Slavoj Žižek
- Published: 2018
- Personal note: Žižek is a Slovenian philosopher, known for his critiques of Marxism. In this extremely small book, he explores the core themes of the Manifesto, and how they apply to current-day situations. It's an interesting book because beyond just critiquing the Manifesto, it manages to relate a pamphlet published almost 200 years ago to today.

Why Socialism?

- Author: Albert Einstein
- Published: 1949
- Personal note: I would call this more of an essay than a book because of its length. What's interesting is that Einstein was a believer in Socialism, but not many knew or know this. This essay primarily focuses on the problems of Capitalism and the growing wealth inequality.

The Civil War in France

- Author: Karl Marx
- Published: 1871
- Personal note: This book shows you the impact the French Revolution had on Marx, in particular the Paris Commune of 1871. It goes into a deep analysis of the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune, giving you an inside look at Marx's Historical Materialism.
