    Really? Which books? Considering the list linked is just Marxist-Leninist theory, and not a history list, that sounds pretty incredible!

    If I’m being charitable, you could be referring to the following few works if you really stretch:

    US Interventionism, the Third World, and the USSR - M. Parenti (1986)

    Webpage Transcription of Speech | Original Speech [~1 hr / 1 hr 33 min]

    Imperialism, the Current Highest Stage of Capitalism - V.I. Lenin (1916)

    Webpage | Audiobook [~3 hr / 4 hr 20 min]

    The Imperialist Partition of Africa - W. Rodney (1970)

    Webpage | Audiobook [~20 min / 25 min]

    But these are a tiny portion of the overall list, which is overwhelmingly theoretical, be it in the area of philosophy, economics, or scientific socialism. I specifically kept historical works outside of the scope of this list. Do you have specific, concrete issues with any of the above texts, or the others in the actual list, on the basis of historical revisionism/inaccuracy?

        It’s not a book, it’s a 93 minute speech. What historical revisionism or inaccuracy is in that speech, and why does that single work make the entire list unworthy of checking out if one wants to understand Marxism-Leninism?
