Briefings and Book Reviews for working people in a hurry

Prole Academy

Prole Academy is a "radical book blog for working people in a hurry" - they outline Marxist theory in order to give workers quick overviews of books and concepts, to help them start their education.

Although I found them on twitter, I won't link their threads since they're image heavy - the same content can be found on their website.

Their site has briefings - in-depth looks at a concept, event, or person that matters, designed to be read with as much or as little time as you have. You can find their first briefing series at Marxism 101.

They also have book reviews on leftist works. From classics like State and Rev to modern works like David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, they provide quick one-pagers and highlights to get caught up in brief. Although I always recommend referencing the originals (as you should with anything you read on my site), summaries and articles can be a great place to start. So, thanks to Benjamin Walker and the folks at Prole Academy for trying to make theory more accessible to the masses!

They also have a bookshelf, courses, a blog, some about info, and a buymeacoffee if you want to support their efforts.

Hi! Aaron, nice to meet ya. This site is where I'm documenting as I go, in order to keep my learnings and thoughts in an easily accessible digital notebook. My purpose in life is organizing (engineering, if you will) and building the change I want to see in the world; to help as much as possible, while I've got the chance to do it.
