what would you include on an academic-level syllabus for "political leftism"?

what would you teach a freshman vs. hold for a PhD seminar?

I am not very well-read. I think I would start with Hegel's Logic, then Philosophy of right, then Grundrisse and Capital, then Althusser.
Marxism strikes me as the only potent direction of thought of the left wing, because it seems the only one that is positively determined - unlike feminism, postcolonial theory etc. which gain the only semblance of positive content from liberalism and are negatively directioned in the rest (as they only relate to the existing norms - they are impotent in the sense of their ability to create on account of their own internal principles, because those are empty).
But this is just my feeling.
