Lenin walks and talks like The High Priest of Marxism.
Everything of his party is like The Church

Finnaly reached the Russian marxist scene

Just finished the Chapter on Sorel. I read his main book, Reflection on Violence, but to my shame I can not say I truly understood the guy.
I now see how he is the one who reformed marxism into proto fascism.

I guess any book on ideology must go through the clasics of that ideology. Here I am wondering. Should I read the chapter on this guy, and then ignore all of his books? Should I trust the author that he did a good job in distilling the content of all the books and life of a clasic into one Chapter ? To the clasics that I have read, I must say the author dose a good job, and sheds light that a casual read may miss.

Finished the first book, The Founders. The author is not harsh to Marx and Engles as I expected him to be He presented their worldview in the most complex yet easy to understand way I ever saw. Yet his critic of the Founders I feel lies in how vague and imprecise their ideas are at deep scrutiny This opens the door of multiple interpretations of their work in a manner that reminds me of religious writings.
