Read Barbara Kingsolver’s 2009 novel “The Lacuna” last month. A journal and letters underpin the whole book, plus Diego Garcia, Frida Kahlo, & Trotsky play parts.
I wanted to start it again as soon as I finished.
Set from the early 1930s to HUAC, the echoes for today ring close.

Art must make its own way and by its own means. The Marxian methods are not the same as the artistic. The party leads the proletariat but not the historic processes of history.

Kingdom Come Deliverance II... Bluffing my way through Kuttenburg in Act II wasn't working. Unlike Luke Skywalker, I thought it would be wise to return to a Master.

One of the things I've been thinking about a lot after reading Isaac Deutscher's fantastic Trotsky biography is how willingly so many "opposition" leaders gave into Stalin's bullying when it became clear that he was going to be the leader, and Trotsky told them "you'll get yours." And they did.

Yes. Trotsky wrote that the newspaper is the most useful tool for educating people, and certain well meaning idealists don't seem to realise that his opinion might be different now that we have the internet

Trotsky subverted much of the army.
Even Pol Pot grabbed the former king and kept him alive as an asset and uneasy ally.

They also just got thrown in Siberian forgotten about,
I'm pretty sure Trotsky just walked back to St Petersburg
On the other hand in the United States joining a terrorist organization would result in being put in a jail cell for 40 years assuming you're ever let out

2 of 3 I asked if I uploaded a picture of Lenin or Trotsky or Louis the 14th or Marat in his bath if any of those could be identified and the answer was also no...... what about analysis of police, body cameras, home security ring cameras. The answer was no.

the communist manifesto is a pamphlet come on... but yeah don't start with the economic backbreaker of Kapital, it reads like a math textbook. Also a lot of stuff from the time requires historical context, especially stuff from Lenin or Trotsky so get an annotated version
