Good sir or madam, you are mistaken, for I have also read Lenin.
Let us not speak of the time I read Chomsky, for I was quite confused by the open disdain for autocracy.
Ok, well I didn't actually read all of it, just the excerpts on Marxists.org.
You can hardly be taken serious if you haven't read Stalin, too, you know. /s
Which work of his would you recommend?
Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR
Foundations of Leninism is the most classic Stalin work, but this is better with some prior reading of more basic works on marxism.
I'm not a fan of Stalin, but his interview with H.G. Wells is hilarious.
Nothing. I was sarcastic. Anything of value that Stalin wrote, you can find by better authors.
Which all ones would you recommend? (To a beginner)
Any that you like?
?
You said that there were better authors & works. Any ones that you like or recommend?
To a beginner, the Graeber Books are great (e.g. Debt, or the dawn of everything).
The conquest of bread by Kropotkin is awesome, too.
And if it should be a little bit less traditionally anarchist: Murray Bookchin is great, too.
Thank you.
