I’m loving this 6 part series, I recommend Jeremy Gilbert’s books for a deeper exploration of his ideas, Gilbert says the Acid Communism chapter Mark started was heavily inspired by conversations they had both had.

21st Century Socialism & Common Ground: Democracy and Collectivity in an Age of Individualism are both worth reading. Gilbert also has multiple podcasts which are all good - ACFM, Love Is The Answer and Culture, Power & Politics.

I also recommend The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Still Rule the World by Kehinde Andrews. A very accessible book on why racial hierarchies and white supremacy are intrinsic parts of capitalism, how it functions and how it was created.
