I’ve been primarily reading in English because that’s the language that pretty much all theory is available in, but I’ve been having issues translating the ideas into my native language.

    If translation is good, then I choose my native language

    If translation is bad or not exists, then I choose English.

      Same. But usually it’s much easier to find any book in English than in another language. Sometimes I don’t even bother searching for something in my language.

      But, as a parentheses, sometimes there’s good theory produced by your same-langusge Marxist that is simply not available in English (and people in the Anglosphere aren’t even aware it exists).
