@AmeliaHorgan But there are still politically salient differences: for example, Trotskyist groups (though not Militant, in Britain) often assign Lenin's "State and Revolution," where Stalinist groups assign his "Left-Wing Communism," which they read as a preemptive critique of Trotskyism.

@johnpmerrick Jan Valtin's "Out of the Night" and Ousmane Sembene's "God's Bits of Wood" are stunning reflections on this. The novel that most influenced me with a surprising story of politicisation is Coetzee's "Waiting for the Barbarians" (and louder: Serge, "Memoirs of a Revolutionary" ofc)
