Finally diving back into this masterpiece

This is a masterpiece. Not only has my reading revealed that none of the reviews posted have read the text in full, but also legit philosophers who denigrate the text (like Adorno)

The kernel of Spinozism later picked up by Althusser (and I guess Deleuze, but he's not a Leninist so who cares) can be found here in Lenin's commentary on Diderot. This first chapter that completely destroys the Machians and their hypocrisy is so great and genuinely just shows how well-read Lenin truly was.
