This book and the things you're describing here may be left of, say, typical neoliberalism in that it entertains some thoughts about the perpetual threat of revolution, but ultimately it is yet another propaganda piece published in a desperate attempt to maintain the chains of capitalist society. Of course, some leftist theories don't even seek change through revolution, opting instead for more of a community-style approach, which is why you see groups like the Zaptistas. No leftist theory of which I'm aware seeks change (at least, not the bulk of its change) through the existing system. This would be absurd in that it is true that there will always be inequities inherent to capitalism. Take the most socially democratic state in the world, and they're still relying on wage inequities, forced labor, and worse.

Here are some personal suggestions, as a starting point:

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/carlo-cafiero-karl-marx-s-capital

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-mutual-aid-a-factor-of-evolution

There are four I'd personally recommend.

There are non-monetized youtube channels with free audiobook versions of all of these books, if you prefer audio.
