The only thing I can think of is Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord and Marshall McLuhan’s work on media.
Oh, and this work by Christian Fuchs.
Problem being:
I think Fuchs is a Marxist-Humanist and I’m not sure what to think of Marxist humanism.
But I could be wrong.
Maybe I should ignore that aspect of their work.
Thoughts?
Got any book recommendations at all?
I’m looking for:
Media studies
Cultural theory
Communications
Internet
Social media
Management and organization
Community-building
Trends
Technology
etc.
^ These are the topics I’m looking into.
And, hopefully, from a Marxist-Leninist or Marxist standpoint (or at least leftist).
Got anything? Maybe advice?
‘Power: A radical view’ - Steven Lukes
‘The gulf war did not take place’ - Baudrillard
‘The German Ideology’ - Marx
This short letter by Lenin. https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/nov/04.htm
I’ll check these out and put them all on my to-read list. Thanks!
No worries, if you would like my interpetation of any as well feel free to ask!
bonus reading on the gulf war did not take place
I never read it, but how about Inventing Reality by Parenti?
I could try that, but it’s from the 1980s; I want something more modern.
Still, I’ll put it on my list.
Antonio Gramsci’s work on hegemony could be interesting. These topics are still quite broad, like technology, trends or social media. What information specifically are you looking for? What is your goal?
To create an Internet forum or message board and bring back message boards (the 2000s-style message boards, that is).

“Media Imperialism” sounds interesting…
