you know haha funny 5 person book club, selling papers, marxists.org

but if we are in the “dark age” of leftism currently are they the equivalent of Irish monks copying ancient Marxist texts for safekeeping?

maybe those 5 person book clubs are monastic circles with complex scholarly initiation rites

those papers, well somebody has got to retain the skills to publish physical media

and marxists.org is basically the marxism library of alexandria

    Marxists.org is ran by trots and they’ve been known to edit stuff to fit their bias – notably in Mastering Bolshevism from Stalin, whole sections are missing and they give the work a completely different name. They’ve also removed portions and footnotes from Progress Publishers (Moscow) books.

    As much as possible, we shouldn’t use them. You simply cannot know if their edition of a book will be truthful or not. They also rely on old translations for many texts, while I’ve found that newer translations tend to flow better.

    Here are libraries we can use other than marxists.org. Make sure their own copies don’t come from the MIA though obviously.
