    Leftism Revisited - from de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Pol Pot.

    Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn.


    Best book I've ever read on the subjects. Do yourself a favour, read every encyclopedia before reading leftism, shes a tough one.

    Try CUBA: Anatomy of a Revolution. A very good book. It contains and indepth view of the policies of a newborn socialist society (in this case, Cuba). The Cuban government made some very interesting solutions to the problems of the Cuba, and this in itself is worth a read.


    I never thought so much happened from 1959 to 1960, before I read that book, and I continue to read it.

    Although not a huge fan of Lenin, his book The State and Revolution is, IMO, a good read. It containstheory on socialism/democracy. You can find it here:
