(It's a real quick read)

 

I know I'm a little late to this thread but I would just tell you to just start reading and read lots of different stuff...and the more you read the more clear things will become in your head.

To be honest, I havent read any of those in full, only some exercepts but have learned about those writings in school. All those works are considered extremely influential, I don't find strictly political books interesting but some of these mentioned have philosophical and ethical implications as well, which may help provide a better understanding for you when it comes to the political (or should I rephrase that as intended political) implications of these works.
