Joseph Stalin makes the concepts of dialectical and historical materialism accessible to the lay-person in this work. It's short, but dense and does a good job of explaining why the communist party of the 1920s and 1930s chose to pursue the policies they did. A fascinating insight into the fundamental world-view of a controversial world figure. Only 44 pages, but you will likely reread it several times in order to truly internalize its messaging. Thankful to the seller for making this essay available as the works of polarizing political figures are often censored, suppressed or outright banned in many places. The English translation does a fine job of conveying the original essay written in Russian.
