>Back when I was an anarchist

What made you change your mind about that? Since I got interested in socialism, I've always leaned to the anarchist side (maybe that's Chomsky's influence too) but I'm open to everything and I plan to start slowly reading Marx.

>but for the most part he is very liberal

I don't think that's fair, he definitely draws a lot of comparisons between the classical liberal "values" and the aims of anarchism but I think it's more to make a point than anything.

>sometimes quite anti-communist

Do you have some links to him being anti-communist? I know he doesn't like the USSR (I think we pretty much all agree with him on that here) but I heard him talk positively about left communists and council communists.

I'm pretty sure he never made apologies for the Khmer Rouge, he only questioned the validity of certain claims, explained how U.S. atrocities created the perfect conditions to their rise and compared the treatement of the genocide by the american media to the one in East-Timor that was commited by the U.S. backed Indonesia.

At least, that's what I read in the two links I found. We should probably read his book on the subject, the one that caused the controversy.

Here's the two links: 1, 2

As for the liberal politicians, it's shit, indeed, but not as bad as genocide denial.

Thanks, I haven't seen any of his other films yet. For anybody who like me don't do French, there is an English translation of the manuscript and subtitles based and that translation.

Not sure I'd describe this text as exactly "brief" but it's a solid read and provides some definitions towards the beginning.

Marx's Discourse with Hegel, by Norman Levine.

Marx did not read any work by Rosenkranz.

I would type it all out but simply look at this page:

<em>Marx's Incomplete Quest</em>, (Levine, pg 41)

Edit: Additionally on pg 38 he lists the work that Marx did not know by Hegel (but was available in his lifetime):

1. The Difference of the Fichtean and Schellingean System of Philosophy

2. On the Orbit of the Planets (Hegel's Latin dissertation)

3. The Critical Journal of Philosophy articles:

4. On the Natural of Philosophic Criticism, How Common Sense Construes Philosophy, The relation of Scepticism and Philosophy, Faith and Knowledge, On the Scientific Method of Treating Natural Law, On the Relationship of Natural Philosophy and Philosophy in General

5. Proceedings of the Estates Assembly in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg

6. The English Reform Bill

Various other articles, prefaces, et hoc genus omne...

I have a selection of epubs I'd be willing to share.

First, here's Debord's Society of Spectacle. The Situationists are arguably Left-Communists: http://library.nothingness.org/articles/SI/en/pub_contents/4

And here's a bit of reading material. Not only Left-Com but still speaks to it: https://www.mediafire.com/?xptakt89nxcdl91

Contents are: >* Anton Pannekoek - Worker's Councils * Louis Althusser - Ideology and Ideological State * Theodor Adorno - Minima Moralia and The Culture Industry * Herbert Marcuse - One Dimensional Man * Peter Kropotkin - The Conquest of Bread (Anarcho-Communist, but still.) * Guy Debord - La Société du Spectacle (In French)

Also, Early Marx and anything by Rosa Luxemburg.

My dad got me The Anti-Capitalism Reader (2002) around the time I was starting out as a radical. I think it's well worth a read no matter what your leftist orientation is.
