I recommend replacing Blackshirts and Reds with just the 1986 speech then. I love Blackshirts and Reds but its utility is in convincing liberals that the USSR wasn’t an evil hellscape. For those of us here, it’s less usable and is more of a pleasure/anger read, it’s really cathartic and bitter-sweet.
Next are the Ho Chi Minh and Krupskaya short essays about studying. Couldn’t get the time to read them yet, despite being so short. Then I’ll properly start Section 1.
