What are some things a self-proclaimed communist with some remaining liberal tendencies can read (watch/etc.) to understand what a communist should do and should never do? Besides the obvious stuff like not being a bigot.

I know becoming better is a personal issue and no piece of writing can automatically make you a good person, but I often find myself falling short of the ideal.

    The closest thing I can think of is probably the works of bell hooks like The Will to Change for men, but generally speaking it’s a little outside of the well travelled path. Most questions of individual behavior are kinda gonna automatically be answered by doing a materialist analysis of collective action and social relations (e.g. do you want to work for an oil business? consider the place it occupied within the structure that produces climate collapse, that kind of thing).
