well for starters communism isnt a matter of opinion

Start here fella:

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-anarchist-communism-its-basis-and-principles

It’s a good start because it helps imagine a different kind of society in very simple terms. It’s also a good introduction to anarchism

I'm glad to see people continuing to provide thoughtful and informed discussion on leftypol dot org.

https://crimethinc.com/ < Anarchist, really good books
https://jacobin.com/ < democratic socialist, okay publication, good for starters
https://prolewiki.org/ < marxist-Leninist, good for theory explanation (surplus value, modes of production, dialectical materialism, class dynamics, etc)

There’s a LOT more but for basics use theses

I'd also recommend the Principles of Communism and Communist Manifesto. Plus it's important to read history to understand the context in which the theory was being written. Personally I found "Labour's Untold Story" to be one of the most effective and important historical works for me. It covers the development of the US labour movement from the Civil War to the end of WW2. It's also highly radicalizing since it shows the extent to which workers had to fight just to be treated like human beings.

From there you can read more. For political economy I think vidrel is a good starting point, then you'll have to read Marx's economic pamphlets and Das Kapital
