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
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
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.
You can load ebooks onto your Kindle using Calibre, you don't have to get them from the Kindle store.
Hey I didn't know about that. I'll look into this. Appreciate the tip
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
