At first I was like yeah Marx, I doubt I’d know other communist thinkers. Then I saw Stalin and Mao Zedong and I’m thinking that’s sending a bad message
Both were heads of state in socialist countries. Regardless of how they are portrayed in the west, along with the countries they led, their writings serve as incredibly valuable insights to the practical process of building socialism in the real world. What kinds of problems can we expect to run into? What might we be overlooking now that we can get ahead of? All of this can be enormously supported by learning from existing socialist movements in history and those who played an influential role in them.
