The Littlest Red Books

Inspired by Mao Zedong's famous "Little Red Book", I wanted to make it easy for people to read and share brief, impactful pieces of revolutionary theory.

Theorists who have complicated and controversial legacies will be included. Take what resonates and leave what does not. It’s up to us to apply their ideas in ways that are productive for our present reality. Collecting the works of a particular theorist for educational purposes is not blanket endorsement of their actions or beliefs.
