Losurdo’s Stalin is a must-own, for sure.
The cover on The Sword and the Neck is such a banger too.
Yep, plan on picking up Losurdo’s Stalin for sure, at some point. The future releases of Lenin’s collected works and the illustrated Communist Manifesto also look really good! The quality and pure aesthetics look top-notch, and there are a lot of authors I’m unfamilar with, so that’s what has me curious.
I read Allawi’s Al-Mushtarak and it was definitely interesting!
Not exactly what I expected, although they address it in one of the prefaces. I thought it would be more of an Islamic theological argument based on the Qur’an for communism, but it was more of the historical social formations that Islamic communities had before and after the birth of Islam and how they correspond with communism, which is probably even more important than the former. It was cool though! Learned some things about those histories.
Gotcha, might give that one a read! Thanks!
