Description

This particular study shows how the theories of Marx and Lenin have shaped communist practice, in particular how Lenin’s model adapted to diverse conditions in Russia, China, and Cuba.

It offers valuable insights into the imaginable limits of change in communist societies, and into the longer term course of East-West relations.

“Prof. Smith’s brief incisively written book is worth thinking about because, among other things, it’s high;y relevant to the question of the possibility of transformation of communist thinking, and appraise its authenticity.” ―Sidney Hook, senior fellow, Hoover Institution, within the Wall Street Journal

“[Smith’s] critique of Marxism-Leninism as practiced during the world has great elegance of construction, subdued wit, and clarity of expression . . . Thinking Like a Communist is a timely, cogent, and very smart book.” ―Thomas D’Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor

“A brilliantly original study of the ‘laws of motion’ of Communist thought, how they’ve shaped history all through the past hundred years, and what they portend for the longer term.” ―Chilton Williamson, Jr., National Review
