I am currently working through my first pass of Stalin's The Principles of Leninism

I have really enjoyed the book but have found it to be a kind of a harder read. I did just buy the cheapest version I could on the Kindle Store and I wondering if the translation is a little rough or if other people had this issue?

Stalin tends to write very bluntly. Also minor criticism for putting your money in a capitalists pocket for free communist literature.

Still good on you for actually doing some reading. If nothing else I'd give you a net neutral rating.

I mean yeah I understand that but it was only 59 cents and it gets to read it on my Kindle which I purchased way before I knew anything about this.

Right? Like yeah I'm spending money on Amazon but it's only like 59 cents.

But I think the translation I have isn't super high quality and is missing grammar and structural issues
