I definitely relate to the running out of space thing lol Very interesting video! Really cool to see so much Soviet work in Finnish. This might be fun to do myself sometime.
@@Ajente02 I come from a "wise" family so most the shit I read is stuff that I have already heard from everyone. They still think I should buy those kinda bs books rather than knowledgeable ones. Gonna buy communist literature too.
You are a Hero of Labour for accumulating so much important theoretical material and for analysing it and then putting out great content for all the comrades. Love you because of your endeavours.
Oh, for the return to the days of Moscow’s Progress Publishers ! They would accept orders for shipment to places as far afield as Tasmania or Patagonia ( post-junta ! ) for classic texts for almost nominal costs. These days, that sort of eagerness to spread the written word without regard for profit seems to be restricted to Salafi and Wahabi material from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
A stupendous collection ! Has me nose-diving into shame ! I’ve been buying Marxist literature in both paper and hardback versions since the late 1980s, and, I’d be embarrassed to reveal how paltry my collection is in comparison. I’ve noted, sadly, that thanks to online availability, amongst other causes, purchasing Marxist literature has now become prohibitively dear. Such a dreadful shame. I can still recall that days when you could pick up these texts from party stalls and used - book shops for just a few bob ( sigh ).
Tuure Lehens internationally most famous book is actually "The way to victory". It was published in German in 26 under pseudonym, and dealt with how to pursue and win the armed uprising.
Holy shit what a beautiful trove of literature how long have you been collecting? Btw lately I've been going through your catalog of videos they're extremely well made and well informed I appreciate the work you put into them.
Interesting video comrade, tomorow I will see it completely, in my country is alredy nigth and I must rest. By the way, Big Brain University series it's great. Greetings from a chilean comrade ✊
Do you have any recommendations for books on the Finnish role in World War 2? I'm very interested in hearing about their relations with the USSR as well as their allying with Nazi Germany. I figured you are probably the best person to ask.
Can you talk from Marist-Leninist perspective about what is incurring in the world today from a Marxist-Leninist perspective, like Nato, US Imperialism and EU Imperialism. What do you think of Chris Hedges. My friend would be interested to hear to you talk about this.
I'm amazed by the prolific volumes of Finnish Marxist theoreticians. Here in my country there isn't many Marxist writings, is almost impossible to get proper Marxist theory printed, and most famous political theory and history books are either from socialdemocrats or not worth reading. Do you have the intention to translate (or at least transcribe or scan) your Finnish theorists collection? Or do you know if there is currently any website where someone could read them online? I'm also quite impressed of your aesthetic section. I had always thought that Marxist philosophic discussions are quite poor/undeveloped in the aesthetic branch. We need to popularize more the aesthetic theories of Marxists (even further more in these times where entertainment industry and mass media have made pop culture and art expressions universally available to the masses). BTW, I noticed you have a lot of literature of different political trends: from reactionaries and liberals, to socialdemocrats, democratic socialists (like Orwell), Mensheviks (like Plekhanov), ML revisionists, Marxist Humanists, Western Marxists/Frankfurt School (Lukacs), even Libertarian Marxists... Is there any reason you don't have any Anarchist, Left-Communist, or Trotsky/Trotskyist (besides Lunacharsky) literature? Is it purposefully, or just purely accidental/casual? Wonderful collection nonetheless!
I've scanned a lot of the books and translated some here mltheory.wordpress.com/kirjoja-suomeksi/ I've acquired Orwell, socdem and other similar books by coincidence without specifically looking for it.
How would I go about acquiring physical versions of short texts like Value Price and Profit or Wage Labor and Capital, small classics like that? Preferably one book compiling several of those texts?
Help me out please, because I won't rewatch a 50 minute video to find one book: what was the author/title of the Soviet book about the Frankfurt school? It probably isn't in English, but I have always wondered if any Soviet Marxists engaged with their ideas.
"Social philosophy of the Frankfurt school: critical essays" by J. G. Fogeler, T. I. Oizerman, I. S. Narski, G. I. Ivanov, M. V. Jakovlev, A. S. Garbuzov, J. N. Davydov, V. I. Garadza, S. M. Morozov, Z. Javurek and B. N. Bessonov. I also translated this segment from a Soviet book on history of philosophy: mltheory.wordpress.com/2020/11/10/soviet-critique-of-the-frankfurt-school-and-critical-theory/
@@thefinnishbolshevik2404 Thank you very much. I don't think it's in English sadly, but that segment was interesting. I agree with much of it, but some parts I don't. For one thing, I think Freud and Marx do really have a lot of natural overlap. I also think Adorno's ideas about scientific rationalization and culture were essentially correct.
@@enveristitalian565 in a few months we will start a course on that book in Finland. I will analyse it carefully and write down all corrections. But its gonna take some months for the course to go through the whole book. Its long.
The communists need to be educated, but only the most active workers will be theoretically educated. The average workers must be taught basic things about their class interest. The average workers don't need to know philosophy, if they understand that capitalists exploit them, that the communists defend their interests etc. The Bolsheviks told the working masses "Peace, Bread and Land", "Factories to the workers, land to those to farm it".
Hey Finbol, you seem to read russian texts in their original language. How did you learn that ? How much time did you spend ? Thanks for your videos btw, been watching yours for years now
@@pseudomastix2916 that's very tough but I think I have to recommend classics by Lenin and Stalin. Lenin: -What is to be done? -the State and Revolution -"Left-wing" communism: an infantile disorder -Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism -The Proletarian Revolution and the renegade Kautsky Stalin: -Dialectical and historical materialism -Foundations of Leninism -Marxism and the national question -Economic problems of socialism in the USSR And "The History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) - Short Course" But its impossible to choose only 10. Those books cover essential theoretical topics but you also need to study political history and history of philosophy.
Neither, there's a fashy rabbithole you might get thrown in within this subject but finns are finno ugric, completely different cultural and linguistic history than scandinavian or slavic people. Related to Estonians, Hungarians, Sámi and a bunch of tribes that got swallowed by imperial Russia
@@pietpanzerpanzer5335 Literally personal property, quite distinct. Despite the fact bourgeois capitalists like to portray it like "mun evil commies want to take your toothbrush." We don't believe in taking your toothbrush, but the working class seizing the very factories which manufacture them. Pflanzt eure Roten Banner der Arbeit, auf jeden Äcker, auf jede Fabrik!
@@thefinnishbolshevik2404 oh ok, i originally assumed like late twenties to early thirties, but when i saw your book collection i thought you might be older since you've read so much haha
Kommunistit on niitä oikeita isänmaallisia. Kapitalisteilla ja niiden tukijoilla ei ole mitään isänmaallisuutta. Lue tuosta, mainitsin tämän tässä videossa: mltheory2.files.wordpress.com/2021/04/kommunistit-ja-isanmaa-tuure-lehen.pdf
@@JAKEZUU Sinä et näköjään tiedä isänmaasi historiasta paljoa mitään. No, se ei yllätä. Suomen Kapitalistit vastusti Suomen itsenäistymistä ja tarvitsi Venäjän Tsaaria ja Kerenskiä. Sosialistit säätivät valtalain, jonka jälkeen heidän eduskunta hajotettiin 1917 yhteistyössä Kerenskin ja Suomen kapitalistien toimesta. Kun sisällissota alkoi niin Valkoiset lupasivat että jos Saksa auttaa tappamaan Suomen punaiset työläiset ja torpparit niin Suomeen tulee hallitsemaan Saksalainen kuningas (Friedrich Karl von Hesse). Hän olikin Suomen kuningas kunnes Saksa hävisi ensimmäisen maailmansodan. Valkoisten aseelliset johtajat oli Saksan Keisarin agentteja (Jääkäreitä) ja entisiä Tsaarin upseereja kuten Mannerheim, joiden työ oli ollut Tsaarin vallan pönkittäminen ja Suomen alistaminen. Sen jälkeen Suomen kapitalistit ovat myyneet Suomen Hitlerille, USA:lle ja EU:lle.
