Losurdo is unsurpassed, fantastic book. Use the journal entries of Nazis to display a bunch of propaganda around Stalin is entirely false.

i have such a hunger for more of his work after this. Liberalism: a Counter-History, Class Struggle, and his Nietzsche book all look great.

I've read all three and yeah they're phenomenal. Liberalism: A Counter-History is basically like a secret weapon to entirely dissolve the whole framework of liberal thought. The quotes he pulls out are absolutely insane. If you haven't read it btw I'd really recommend Losurdo's short-ish essay on China: https://redsails.org/losurdo-on-china/ He has this great book on Hegel that I love as well.

excited to reach your level of Losurdo scholarship lol, he seems like a brilliant mind. yeah I saw the China essay before but I must give it a proper read. the stalin book is brilliant, should be read by everyone
