As the title says! I have uploaded a new study guide targeting ~20 hours of reading time. I understand that it cannot be comprehensive with such a limit, but at the same time I wish to include a diverse range of voices, convey the core fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism clearly, and to avoid common pitfalls.
Any feedback is appreciated, as long as it doesn’t add bloat.


It’s a full book, but the preface reads like its own short essay. Sadly I can only find it online in either Portuguese or Spanish (it’s probably out there in Italian too but my Italian is non-existent). Not sure if machine translation works well, but worth a try.

As a sidenote, it’s really annoying how little of Losurdo’s work is freely available online or translated to English. His absence is too conveniently occupied by infrared folks and even Dugin.
Thanks, I’ll give it a read! Understanding the limitations, of course. And I totally agree, what little of Losurdo I’ve read in contrast to his whole canon makes me enormously frustrated, especially as his work is valuable in combatting western Marxist defeatism.
