Y’all are the only instance making a honest effort to support Palestine. This is something i deeply appreciate. If y’all wanted to recommend reading to teach me about communism. I would appreciate that as well.

Yo comrade, welcome aboard.
For a n00b I would say hands down Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti is the most accessible and informative book on communism I’ve ever read. It’s quite short and was written very recently (at least in comparison to a lot of books on the Immortal Science of Marxist-Leninism).
The State and Revolution by Lenin is also essential reading but that’s a little more in-depth.
If you dig documentaries I would highly recommend Fidel the Untold Story.
Viva Palestine!
Read “killing hope” by william blum. Its about the insane amount of effort the US went in to massacre the communist movement worldwide for the past century.
Since everyone else has provided plenty of reading materials, I thought I’d suggest a listen: Blowback (especially season 2 imo). It’s not specifically about communism, but it can help untangle imperialist propaganda you’ve been fed your entire life.
Blowback is SO GOOD it’s very listenable and very profound and the two guys bring wit and humor to it all. They use very reputable mainstream media sources and simply take those facts that had been presented separately and without real analysis, and use that to build their theses
Another big listen: Michael Parenti lecture (1986) also known as “Yellow Parenti”
It’s about 1.5 hours including the Q&A
