They not have to be marxist specifically, but all of mine are. My favorites are: Walter Rodney, Lenin, Anuradha Ghandy and Vijay Prishad. I have been thinking of Red Star Over the Third World again recently, and I may decide to reread it soon.
Lenin is funny and I like him
William Blum is as jaded as me so he good
The Author of Eagle Among Lions
I like Rick Riordan, author of the percy jackson series too. Childish I know, but he’s the one author who didn’t turn out to be a transphobic or homophobic bastard. They were my comfort reads for a long while.
Lenin is very entertaining. Like in The Right of Nations to Self Determination when he basically calls Trotsky a worm.
I searched William Blum’s name to check if he is the author of Killing Hope, and made a very crinkly discovery: William Blum, US Policy Critic Cited by Bin Laden, Dies at 87 | New York Times The New York Times never fails to cause me immense anguish.
Might have to look into some Blum. What would you recommend starting with?
