The Winner by a very large margin is:

’Blackshirts & Reds’ (2001) - Michael Parenti | tag: Marxism-Leninism

Parenti shows how “rational fascism” renders service to capitalism. How corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a form of mass empowerment against forces of exploitative privilege. He also maps the external and internal forces that destroyed communism and the disastrous impact of the “free-market” victory on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. source

This is the tentative schedule:

• May 22nd: Blackshirts and Reds Part 1
• June 5th: Blackshirts and Reds Part 2
• June 19: Blackshirts and Reds Part 3
• Jul 3rd: Blackshirts and Reds Part 4
