To piggyback off your comment, a thread from Existential Comics:

If you want to make sense of the current political moment, and why electoral politics under capitalism can never, and will never, serve anyone but the wealthy capitalists, look no further than the most influential political theorist of the 20th century: Vladimir Lenin. A thread.

I highly recommend reading this thread. If you want an intro Marxist-Leninist reading list, I made one you can check out here.
