If you haven't already heard of it, you'd probably find Losurdo's Liberalism: A Counter-History to be an interesting read!
ooooh, i've had his book on stalin sitting in a tab in my browser for like a year now but i will add this to my list of things to peruse once i get my adhd sorted out lol
thanks for the recommendation
that Losurdo book is a main basis of the redsails link I initially gave. the deeply racist roots of the "sorting out who's good and who's bad via the infallible market" of market fundamentalism/liberalism
The Stalin book is incredible as well! I learned so much, it's a masterful work. Losurdo was one of the best thinkers of the 21st century
