<DIV>As I have been increasingly convinced on the validity of Marxist economics, I've also been interested in the details of the various attempts at communism throughout the world. It seems as those (almost) every "communist" revolution has been atrocious, authoritarian, I've read 1984, A day in the live of a russian guy, Darkness at Noon so I don't need to be convinced of the horrors of stalinism. I also read some Lenin in college, expecting it to be authoritarian but was surprised to find it actually seemed to be advocating extreme democracy. But then the October Revolution is criticized from both the left and right for being authoritarian. What is a good historical study of the russian revolution with carefully researched sources? I've read some stuff over at <A href="http://www.marxist.com">www.marxist.com</A> but its serious failing is a lack of sources for its information</DIV><p><hr SIZE=1>
