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?
But what about the Princesses of Leninism? Oh, right
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.
Oh that’s a really good price lmao
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
I usually see it called Foundations of Leninism (and there’s a great audiobook that I listened to that used that title), so it’s possible your translation is weird. AB is right, Stalin wrote very bluntly and with a sense of severity, though I don’t think it’s normally all that confusing or anything. Maybe a bit under-explained, though.
I think this was the audiobook, since I’ve listened to a lot of this guy’s readings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPC5ADHHbSk
Yeah that’s my bad. I guess I forgot the title of the book and Confused it with the principles of Communism by Engels.
He does write very very bluntly but I find like little grammar things are missing or the wording is just a little weird making the book a little hard to understand. But I think I might just be a bad translation like what Ab was saying.
I like socialist4all I’ll check out his audiobook
