I love when Snow says he isn't being told what to write about Mao in Red Star Over China and to prove it he tells a story about how Mao, in the custom of rural China when it got too hot, would just take his pants off to cool down while continuing to work studying maps in front of Snow.

His collection is kept at UMKC in Kansas City, but I haven't tried to get in to his archives yet.

Red star over China really opened my eyes on China. Good shit

[ethanl]

Great idea to review books. I need more recommendations! Thanks for the hard work comrade

[rylord]

Snow really was a now extinct and certain type of American progressive that came out of the new deal alliance. Unfortunately for us both the coup against Henry Wallace and FDRs death lead to a complete purge right here in the USA ..and we’ve never recovered

[ego]

wow, it would take me so long to read all of these books
thanks for the hard work comrade, I will make sure to read Red Star Over China

[sinthoras]

Great video, on China I also recommend the writings of William Hinton, who actually was or became a Marxist. His book Fanshen in detail describes the land reform in China in one specific village, and it is considered one of two essential reads on the Chinese revolution along with red star over China. And his other books on China are also great

[nverdice]

Great video, you should do Albert Szymanski sometime in the future

[hmmmhmmm]

7:57 Lu Xun is very famous in China, I went to the school he attended he had the character "early" carved onto his desk

Love these book reviews, important stuff. There's so much garbage propaganda out there that gets pushed by the mainstream, it's hard to sift through the good and bad.

[brunoqueiroz]

Reading red star over china and it’s great so far

[alienpilled]

Thanks for these reviews! I really enjoy them 👍

[slipknotboy]

Love your videos. I just watched the one about your grandfather in the Winter War, and you link to another video you did on the Winter War but it is private. Could you please make that available to watch?

Hey, ML from Sweden here, i was wondering if you had any recommendation for videos or books about Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge? Many liberals make the argument that the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot were communists when they even said themselves that they were not. But as far as socialist policies go, i cant find much on Pol Pot's regime/government.

[tormann.m.t]

finbol talking about communism while exploiting serfs in aoe 2, I love it
