You would definitely dig these. They might seem basic, but you'll remember it all, see how it all moves through history, and know what you want to dig into further:
Postmodernism
Critical Theory
Marxism
Philosophy in General
This is a good start
and so is this!
This is, possibly surprisingly, good too.
If you're looking to jump right into a text and think you have a grip on the language, try Foucault's Madness and Civilization It's great and pretty easy to read.
Another good introduction (or at least, MY introduction to philosophy is Slavoj Zizek. He's pretty easy to read and understand, but makes ties to Lacan, Nietzsche, Heidegger, etc in a cohesive manner that makes you want to learn more. Of his work, I'd check out The Sublime Object of Ideology, The Parallax View or watch his movie! (Which is extraordinarily entertaining for how dense it is. He's also kind of amazing in a philosophical rock star kind of way.)
Hope that gets you started!
The best place to start I found was with an introductory guide. As a dyslexic this one was always a favourite. Still refer back to it too. It has useful reading guides, shows interrelationships between schools of thought and is, to boot, amusing. It will also be a damn sight more accurate/informative that whatever Buzzfeed author wrote that visual guide.

Aside from this try Bertrand Russel's Introduction to Philosophy. Its a bit dated now but Russel writes beautifully, always a plus for the newcomer.
