I'm currently rereading Stalin: A History and Critique. I feel like the text is a lot more clear after familiarizing yourself with the history and reading Lenin, Stalin and Marx. I have also read class struggle and Western Marxism by Losurdo recently

    I wish I had found Losurdo when I was even younger. The history authors in schoolbooks were so dry, annoying, and devoid of nuance. The lack of context for controversial events made the subject extremely boring for me. Losurdo changed my perspective as a young adult.
