I am interested in politics, and even tho i am not a communist, i am interested in what can be learned from it and i also want to learn more about political ideologies as a whole, instead of speaking out of my ass whenever someone mentions communism and potentially say some bullshit. What do you think?

Edit: thanks for all the answers! I swear i read them all, i just don’t know how to answer to each of them, but thanks for all the recommendations!

Really unnecessarily aggressive for not being able to piece together the blatantly obvious fact I'm Chinese. No wonder your understanding of Marx is so poor if you can't even manage this. Also what wall of text? It's a sentence, a short paragraph, and 2 quotes if that's a wall of text in your eyes it again speaks to your reading capability (or more importantly lack there of) and really demystifies how you could arrive at the completely nonsensical "understanding" you did.
