Amos Yee


Reading List for Amos Yee’s School

This is the recommended reading list for the political program I’m opening up (read about it here, you should join it) Members who are part of the school are recommended to read these texts, or at least, watch videos or read blog posts related to the topics and viewpoints discussed in these books.

In other words, these are the books I think are the most important in gaining the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective activist. If I’m sent to prison for a long time and I stop producing content, these books will equip you with the strategies and abilities to topple the PAP dictatorship.
