Recently bought an original edition of “Introduction to Political Economy” and am currently reading a book on Marxist philosophy. I might have some theoretical doubts. After much thought, I decided to create this post to write down my doubts and insights over the long term, and to discuss and exchange ideas with comrades to resolve the theoretical issues I may encounter later.
How can I verify that the content of the book is authentic? I bought a set of incomplete volumes of the “Complete Works of Stalin,” which are in vertical traditional Chinese characters. After looking at it, I feel it was deliberately aged. But the content cannot be verified as genuine—during the period of the Chinese Communist Party’s revisionism, many of Stalin’s articles were heavily destroyed. Even the version personally approved by Xi Jinping only has three articles preserved in the official collection. I hope someone knowledgeable can respond.
