I'm getting the following:

Capital Vol. 1 + David Harvey's companion (read some other Marx stuff but never Capital)
Liberalism a Counter History - Losurdo
Age of Revolution - Hobsbawm

I wanna get a collection of Lenin but I can't figure out which publisher/edition is good. Anything else I should get

you should go for progress publishers if you want any text from a soviet figure. that was the ussr's official foreign language press. or international publishers, the press of the cpusa. similarly if you ever want stuff from china foreign languages press is the way to go.

Worker Yoko's second single, "We Are the Communist Party". Rough rather than aiming for verse and meter because I'm too old for that game anymore.

We are the Communist Party!
By your side in politics
We are the Communist Party
By your side in the future

You all don't have the wrong idea, do you?
We're not like they used to make us out to be
We're pretty good, we stand by our principles, if I do say so myself

We've got a lot of critiques, but that doesn't mean
we don't have proposals to deal with them too
We've got pretty good ideas, if I do say so myself

Minimum wage to 1500 yen
Abolish unpaid overtime
Halve college and trade school tuition
300,000 new licensed daycare slots
Drop NHI premiums
Keep pensions high and secure
Positions on Okinawa, the Constitution, nuclear power
And more, just check our webpage
Right here!

For a society where anyone who works an eight-hour day can live with dignity
For a society where everyone can study and raise children without worrying about money
For a society with strong social security, where you can live without fears
For a society with more hope for the future

We are the Communist Party!
Fighting alongside the citizens
We are the Communist Party!
Knocking out the government
We are the Communist Party!
Updating Japan
We are the Communist Party!
Let's start the future!

Yeah, at this point they're kind of the pan-and-or-only left party; the SDP is a four-member rump after several splits which took the left to Maoism and shortly out of office/the right to the business liberals, and the left-liberals were numbersfucksteins who shattered into nonexistence after their one term in government with the biggest remainder merging with the reformist fash (!) to form an anti-imperialist or at least imperialism-in-one-country/anti-nuclear inchoate populist faction.
I have Shii's tripartite manifesto from a little bit after he became Chairman sitting on my desk, need to read through gleaning how much is public position/private position vs. how much is revisionist but it's a draaaaaaaaag writing interlinear notes in English on something printed vertically.

In terms of symbology/how far they're at least willing to flirt with libleft or contain anything that left or further, the Imperial accession a couple months ago was the first (admittedly, out of 3, Hirohito was a very healthy man with a very sickly father) that they sent congratulations to. This is complicated by the previous Emperor being a committed anti-imperialist (!?!) who abdicated to not be a living banner for rearmament and therefore a useful political ally, but it's still not particularly egalitarian or republican.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

When Raul passes on or retires, they'll just get a new head of the communist party. Raul isn't even the president right now.

for what it's worth I think "red-brown" and "cryptofash" are more useful descriptors than "Strasserite", if only because at least you don't get into digressions over what Strasserism actually was as an ideology

Twitter has broken people's brains so far into subscribing to a form a political theater that is so goddamn detached from reality and lorded over by unchecked charlatans that it has them cowering from imagined enemies that are so far removed from any sort of power. It's really something else.
