The amount of times I would read a paragraph and think “if this was written today, it would still be true” was to damn high. Especially the entire last chapter.

    Blackshirts and Reds is a wonderful book. If you’re looking for another one that’s also accessible I’d recommend Towards a New Socialism by Paul Cockshott. Really short, and it explains the most relevant concepts from Marx while applying them to modern circumstances (well, early 2000s). It’s more theoretical than Blackshirts and Reds, but it still brings some important facts from history as examples or case studies.
