Comment on Is there any way I can study Marxist theory in a way that wouldn't seem too boring or dry?

  For clarity MLism was reverse engineered by Stalin to justify the violent oppression of the working class, it spread to other regimes that wanted to justify the same, but Lenin didn’t have a lot to do with it.

      I heard Lenin decided to hold an election, didn’t like the results, and decided to switch to a one party state after the election.

  I don’t mean Marxism-Leninism, I mean regular Marxism

    If you want to explore classical Marxist ideas in an entertaining way, check out Michael Burns on YouTube. He used to run the channel Wisecrack and makes videos about philosophy, and he is a classical Marxist who talks a lot about Marx and Engels. That being said, these days you’re not going to find much discussion of Marx that doesn’t cover Marxism-Leninism in some way.
