The rich lib noise around me which I cannot summarily dismiss are still hung up on the need for physical media, and they keep giving me books made out of dead tree, 'cause I'm a reader. Funny really. Little shout out to the content in the thread, verily a curiosity cabinet and also weak evidence of benevolent mod activity in c-spam.

ELTON JOHN posted:i'd appreciate it a lot. toure is a bit of a let's say controversial figure and i'd like to see how his reign fits into the marxist narrative I have scanned two sympathetic biographies of Lumumba and Nkrumah by an American author. Perhaps those can be partial compensation for my failure to find the book on Touré's Guinea. ModernMajorGeneral posted:Do you have any books about psychology/psychiatry/mental illness? Meanwhile, since April 14 I've scanned some more books from the USSR and friends, among them: * Political Reality and Political Consciousness (Soviet work) * Pan-Americanism: Its Essence and Evolution (Soviet work) * Memoirs of Andrei Gromyko * State-Monopoly Capitalism and Labour Law (Soviet work from 1988) * On the Soviet-Chinese Border: Questions and Answers (Soviet polemic from 1978) * The British Labour Movement 1770-1920: A History (a CPGB work) * British Trade Unionism: A Short History (ditto) * Mutiny: Being a Survey of Mutinies From Spartacus to Invergordon (ditto) * The Reformation (ditto) * The Prehistoric Aegean (ditto) * The First Philosophers (ditto) * People’s Revolutionary Tribunal Held in Phnom Penh for the Trial of the Genocide Crime of the Pol Pot - Ieng Sary Clique (August - 1979) I also scanned a bunch of random non-Soviet books (these authors with the exception of Schlesinger weren't Marxists): * The Communist Party of the Soviet Union by Leonard Schapiro * A Concise History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union by John S. Reshetar * History of the Communist Party of USSR by Rudolf Schlesinger (who, quite unlike Schapiro and Reshetar, is sympathetic to the CPSU) * The American Communist Party: A Critical History * The Communist Party in Canada: A History * The Life and Ideas of the Marquis de Sade * Journals and Other Documents on the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus (just an example of how random my uploaded books can get) * Mining: An International History * Colonial Hispanic America (650+ page history book from 1936) * The Spanish Empire in America Enver Zogha has issued a correction as of 22:37 on Jul 15, 2022 |

Enver Zogha posted:Aside from A History of Psychology by a Soviet author, and two critiques of psychoanalysis by an American Communist (Sigmund Freud: A Pavlovian Critique and The Failure of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Fromm), I can't think of much else. Thanks, appreciate the books and all the other resources.

I probably missed it, but do any of your scans focus on individual profiles of prominent Bolsheviks (or SRs, Mensheviks)?

Meanwhile I've scanned two English-language works from Cuba: The US-Cuba Conflict and History of a Takeover: The US Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay. I also scanned a Soviet polemic against the Chinese from 1964 titled From Party of Working Class to Party of Entire Soviet People (I wrote a post on another forum giving some historical context to the "state of the whole people"/"party of the whole people" stuff.) Another Soviet work I scanned is 19th All-Union Conference of the CPSU. Documents and Materials. The Conference strengthened Gorbachev's hand and backed a furthering of Perestroika and Glasnost. Also, someone years back scanned Dimitrov's three-volume Selected Works. I decided to put those scans through ABBYY FineReader to split the pages, make the text searchable, etc. and uploaded these improved versions to archive dot org: * Volume 1 * Volume 2 (includes his famous "The Fascist Offensive and the Tasks of the Communist International" speech) * Volume 3 Enver Zogha has issued a correction as of 02:43 on Aug 13, 2022 |

hello people who frequent this thread, I am thinking about how we occasionally get complaints that cspam has too many stickied threads and how it might be nice to have room at the top of the forum to stick fun new threads temporarily. Do you think being stickied is good for this thread? Should it stay at the top of the list or should it surf the waves of poster interest like the rest of the forum? I re-stuck this one during one of our feedback threads a while ago now because someone said it was hard to find otherwise because it's more of a resource thread than an active discussion thread, so bear that in mind.

ok I'm gonna go ahead and unstick this. We are likely going to update the rules thread sometime soon and include an index pointing to lower-traffic but higher-value resource threads like this one, so that they will remain easy to find even if they aren't being regularly posted in.

Hey I recently picked up a translated version of Dialectics and Modern Physics by Omelyanovsky. Is there anything else in that vein? Most western stuff is grounded in idealist nonsense. Any science type topic really.

This thread really needs to be re-stickied, I don’t think house cleaning is worth losing a useful resource. I don’t have a problem with it being a more general source thread as long as the existing links are kept. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 11:34 on Aug 25, 2022 |

Also, for anyone using the thread in this way: Trash Ops posted:this is the sticky because of the nature of it, not due to lack of response. tbh i only click it when i see Enver Zogha post this is the ideal case for bookmarking the thread so that you see new posts from Enver Zogha even if it the thread isn't at the top of page one.

Both are by Western journalists: After Lenin (covering Moscow, the Russian peasantry, and Communist Party politics in 1924) and A Girl in Soviet Russia (a journalist visiting the USSR in 1926.)
