Lots of rich debate in that back and forth. Fair warning that Lenin is kind of a bore to read.&#xA;&#xA;There&#39;s also texts by early revolutionaries on the general topic of how extreme is too extreme. Trotsky wrote &#34;Terrorism and Communism,&#34; for example, though I admit that I haven&#39;t read it. Unlike Lenin, Trotsky is usually an engaging writer.</html></oembed>
