First post even though I’ve had an account for months. So basically I have ADHD and am autistic, on top of that I’ve always struggled with self discipline and motivation. All of this has been made worse by a traumatic event causing me severe depression that I can’t seem to get out of. I genuinely want to read theory to become a better Marxist but I can barely manage a few pages at a time before giving up. Any ideas?

    What have you tried to read? Getting a handle on some ADHD symptoms while you learn at your own pace and in your own way. You can learn a lot reading the intros to socialist theory and listening to audio books. Join a book club and join up with other people who read theory. The first step to change is wanting to change, and you will never be a Marxist, you can only participate in the process of becoming a Marxist. Be nice to yourself, and get the fuck away from your phone and it will happen. If you need a discord book club I can recommend one.
