My friend read the manifesto and is interested in reading more about communism. I feel like Capital would be a bit heavy for him so i thought i'd ask here about what you think he should read. Also since his English isn't that good i'd appreciate it if your recommendations had Persian translations as well. Thanks in advance!

Blackshirts and Reds is always a good intro for a newbie.

For further reading:

Socialism: Utopian and Scientific

and

The Foundations of Leninism

Unfortunately i didn't find a translation for Blackshirts and reds. But i'll note the others. Thanks for the recommendations!
