Marxism and the National Question is up there for one of my favorite pieces of Marxist literature. I’m also a big fan of Dialectical and Historical Materialism. Stalin was quite good at breaking down Marxist concepts into language that is more accessible and easier to understand. I had a hard grasping dialectical materialism until I read Stalin’s work on it.
completely agree, i even advocate for recommending Dialectical and Historical Materialism to beginners. It is an essential read for anyone serious about reading theory.
