    Marxism-Leninism is the ideology that has liberated billions of working people around the world. It makes sense to uphold the ones who put the teachings of Marx and Engels into practice and synthesized Marxism-Leninism, not just Marx and Engels themselves. The “Five Heads” of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao are seen as the most important contributors to the actual real ideology that has been put into practice to liberate billions in the former USSR, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and many more countries.

    Even returning to the subject of this post, dialectical materialism, Lenin wrote Materialism and Empirio-Criticism and Stalin wrote Dialectical and Historical Materialism. The former is an in-depth look at dialectical materialism and how it stands up to bourgeois science, and the latter is an easily understood primer meant for those who wanted to grasp the basics.
