I always throw a “historical and dialectical materialism” by stalin recommendation. There is a section that clearly explains why production is the chief determinant force in development, what are the productive forces (tools+people) and what are the relations of production.
honestly super impressed with stalin’s writing in general, kinda unbelievable that someone could be so good at as many things. i’ve met savant’s and their fantastical ability is typically restricted to a narrow domain, for some it’s almost as if they don’t have any special ability, and they could likely choose an area and excel at it. maybe not the absolute best, and still really really good.
It is not surprising at all that there was a need for a gigantic campaign to discredit him, his works and style of writing streamlined marxism and are very important to read for people starting this journey.
IMO Historical and dialectical materialism has to be one of the first recommendations to newbies.
