I've found some of Lenin to be impenetrable. Like. if you read What is to Be Done without expert knowledge of 1920s Russian newspapers you're going to have a bad time. But State and Revolution is excellent and actually fun to read. Quotations from Mao is pretty digestible too. I've read a few works of Stalin and I don't remember it being boring but that's mostly because I don't remember it.

What is to be Done is fun because it's an early 20th century reaction video equivalent
and you call yourself a leftist
