Domenico Losurdo, 1941-2018

rehabilitating stalin in the twenty first fucking century lol

Ruthless criticism of all that exists bucko. Especially bourgeois lies and propaganda. Stalin was far from perfect, but he did a lot of good shit and not even close to the amount of bad stuff people put on him.

Also I'd say that although it is a fantastic book you should not real Losurdo because of his works on Stalin, but because of his on point analysis on the Communist movement in the western hemisphere as well as his critizism on liberalism (IMO the best marxist analysis of it out there).
I really suggest you read thr book OP posted, to look what Losurdo is about, instead of just dismissing him because he studied Stalin, in another book
