Ideological Warfare tactics of capitalists against socialism through concepts and theories
This book contains many quotations: over 150 works by Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Hoxha, and others, with more than 650 quoted passages. They are here to serve the argument, not to replace it. The reader who memorizes the quotes without following the method will have learned nothing — and will have repeated the very error this book was written to expose.
Marx wrote that 'the weapons with which the bourgeoisie felled feudalism to the ground are now turned against the bourgeoisie itself.' The same is true of the quotes in this book. They are not there for decoration. They are there to be used — against those who have used them to distort, to confuse, and to divide."
This book is a compilation of various articles, some going back a decade, updated to the present. It will not be commercially published for two reasons. First, due to its page count, the cost of printing would be prohibitive. Second, and more importantly, the price would place it beyond the reach of the average reader.
A book about ideological warfare that is accessible only to those who can afford it would have already lost the battle it describes. Our task, as Marxist-Leninist writers, is to make our writings available and accessible to the largest number of the masses — either affordably or, best of all, free of charge. This book is therefore distributed as a free PDF. It is given, not sold.
