Gerald Horne, Torkil Lauesen, Samir Amin passed away in 2018 but he has some fairly modern works (post 08)
Grover furr, he still is publishing books and articles on soviet history and debunking claims and conspiracies against stalin.
Gerald Horne writes a new book every other year and they just keep getting better. He's essential reading for American communists, not a hitler particle or liberal brainworm to be had.
Would recommend The Counter-Revolution of 1776 in particular.
Didn’t he go senile though?
Yeah, I’m afraid he’s out of the picture at this point 😥
Just thought it would be a nice addition, but yes, I don't think he is writing anymore.
They’re both good in their own ways, though I don’t think either is ML. Hudson will straight-up tell you he’s a Trot.
Literally Trotsky’s godson, but yeah Hudson is great regardless.
i could have sworn they called themselves so in the podcast interview were i first learned about them; i'm going to re-listen to see if i got it right since i'm been meaning to anyways
Richard Wolff often just calls himself a Marxist/Marxian Economist, listened to him a lot but can't say I've ever heard himself a Leninist, but he always seems to be in "professor mode" so who know what he truly believes. He always speaks positively of the USSR
