Right now I'm reading A Theology of Liberation by Gustavo Gutierrez, which (so I'm told) defined and popularized Liberation Theology, and also just started tonight A Brief History of Neoliberalism by David Harvey. Oh, and with regard to fiction, the Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes. Good stuff, all-around!

I would ask though, can anyone recommend any books on radical leftism that I could get on Amazon or at a major book retailer? I recall seeing somewhere on the internet a reader full of communiques and letters that the Red Army Faction published, but if I recall correctly, that was only available off this one shifty-looking website. That sort of stuff interests me, and if anyone has any suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated

Okay, nm, found it on amazon after a bit of searching: The Red Army Faction, a Documentary History: Volume 1: Projectiles for the People

I've also considered reading The Badder Meinhof Complex, which is supposed to be the definitive history of the Red Army Faction.

I'm only about 50ish pages in, but it's very detailed and sort of dense, but it's very intriguing. It was written in the early 70s, iirc, and is by a Peruvian priest, so it mixes Christian (primarily Catholic, I assume) teachings on God and the relation of the secular/non-spiritual world to God and the spiritual. Primarily, it focuses on the brutal exploitation that Latin America was undergoing at the time, and I guess tries to lay out a path for Christians to follow in the midst of this, and of how to change the world as good Christians?

Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, but it's a very detailed book and I'm still trying to fully engage with it.

EDIT: Also, I think worth mentioning, it tries to link (at least it has tried in the pages I've read) the spiritual concept of liberation, as in what Christ did on the cross, to the non-spiritual concept of liberation, which is the struggle of peoples everywhere (but with the focus on Latin America, in the book) to be free of oppression.

isn't liberation theology nothing more than a transparent attempt by the catholic church to play both sides of the fence by 'embracing and extending' revolutionary peoples war, with the ultimate aim of neutering/coopting genuine liberatory movements and ensuring the church maintained a central social position whatever the eventual outcome.
