Thank you so much for posting this! I was a libertarian shitbird up until Trump's election shook me out of it, and while I've learned a lot about socialism over the years, I've had a hard time explaining it to other people. So I'll probably have a lot of questions ITT.

What's a good starting place for reading about it?

Well, that depends on what you want to learn about it. What are you curious about specifically? That is, do you want to know more about the theoretical angle, or a kind of "what does all this mean to me? What should I do about it?" angle.

Yeah definitely the theory behind it. Basically your OP but more in depth.

Yeah I've listened to a few of his lectures on youtube. Would something written by him be a good start?
