A stupendous collection ! Has me nose-diving into shame ! I’ve been buying Marxist literature in both paper and hardback versions since the late 1980s, and, I’d be embarrassed to reveal how paltry my collection is in comparison. I’ve noted, sadly, that thanks to online availability, amongst other causes, purchasing Marxist literature has now become prohibitively dear. Such a dreadful shame. I can still recall that days when you could pick up these texts from party stalls and used - book shops for just a few bob ( sigh ).

[@albertarthurparsnips5141]

Oh, for the return to the days of Moscow’s Progress Publishers ! They would accept orders for shipment to places as far afield as Tasmania or Patagonia ( post-junta ! ) for classic texts for almost nominal costs. These days, that sort of eagerness to spread the written word without regard for profit seems to be restricted to Salafi and Wahabi material from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Not sure if I missed it or if you already read it, but Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freiere is a great book for the topic of pedagogy.

[@Ajente02]

I'm amazed by the prolific volumes of Finnish Marxist theoreticians. Here in my country there isn't many Marxist writings, is almost impossible to get proper Marxist theory printed, and most famous political theory and history books are either from socialdemocrats or not worth reading. Do you have the intention to translate (or at least transcribe or scan) your Finnish theorists collection? Or do you know if there is currently any website where someone could read them online? I'm also quite impressed of your aesthetic section. I had always thought that Marxist philosophic discussions are quite poor/undeveloped in the aesthetic branch. We need to popularize more the aesthetic theories of Marxists (even further more in these times where entertainment industry and mass media have made pop culture and art expressions universally available to the masses). BTW, I noticed you have a lot of literature of different political trends: from reactionaries and liberals, to socialdemocrats, democratic socialists (like Orwell), Mensheviks (like Plekhanov), ML revisionists, Marxist Humanists, Western Marxists/Frankfurt School (Lukacs), even Libertarian Marxists... Is there any reason you don't have any Anarchist, Left-Communist, or Trotsky/Trotskyist (besides Lunacharsky) literature? Is it purposefully, or just purely accidental/casual? Wonderful collection nonetheless!

[@thefinnishbolshevik2404]

I've scanned a lot of the books and translated some here mltheory.wordpress.com/kirjoja-suomeksi/ I've acquired Orwell, socdem and other similar books by coincidence without specifically looking for it.

Help me out please, because I won't rewatch a 50 minute video to find one book: what was the author/title of the Soviet book about the Frankfurt school? It probably isn't in English, but I have always wondered if any Soviet Marxists engaged with their ideas.

[@thefinnishbolshevik2404]

"Social philosophy of the Frankfurt school: critical essays" by J. G. Fogeler, T. I. Oizerman, I. S. Narski, G. I. Ivanov, M. V. Jakovlev, A. S. Garbuzov, J. N. Davydov, V. I. Garadza, S. M. Morozov, Z. Javurek and B. N. Bessonov. I also translated this segment from a Soviet book on history of philosophy: mltheory.wordpress.com/2020/11/10/soviet-critique-of-the-frankfurt-school-and-critical-theory/

[@maofas]

​@@thefinnishbolshevik2404 Thank you very much. I don't think it's in English sadly, but that segment was interesting. I agree with much of it, but some parts I don't. For one thing, I think Freud and Marx do really have a lot of natural overlap. I also think Adorno's ideas about scientific rationalization and culture were essentially correct.

[@gottfrei409]

On another note, is it Idealist to think workers will have to be educated in theory to do the revolution?

[@thefinnishbolshevik2404]

The communists need to be educated, but only the most active workers will be theoretically educated. The average workers must be taught basic things about their class interest. The average workers don't need to know philosophy, if they understand that capitalists exploit them, that the communists defend their interests etc. The Bolsheviks told the working masses "Peace, Bread and Land", "Factories to the workers, land to those to farm it".

[@lynnmelough6160]

Can you talk from Marist-Leninist perspective about what is incurring in the world today from a Marxist-Leninist perspective, like Nato, US Imperialism and EU Imperialism. What do you think of Chris Hedges. My friend would be interested to hear to you talk about this.

Sosialistit säätivät valtalain, jonka jälkeen heidän eduskunta hajotettiin 1917 yhteistyössä Kerenskin ja Suomen kapitalistien toimesta. Kun sisällissota alkoi niin Valkoiset lupasivat että jos Saksa auttaa tappamaan Suomen punaiset työläiset ja torpparit niin Suomeen tulee hallitsemaan Saksalainen kuningas (Friedrich Karl von Hesse). Hän olikin Suomen kuningas kunnes Saksa hävisi ensimmäisen maailmansodan. Valkoisten aseelliset johtajat oli Saksan Keisarin agentteja (Jääkäreitä) ja entisiä Tsaarin upseereja kuten Mannerheim, joiden työ oli ollut Tsaarin vallan pönkittäminen ja Suomen alistaminen. Sen jälkeen Suomen kapitalistit ovat myyneet Suomen Hitlerille, USA:lle ja EU:lle.
