The analytical tools of Marxism-Leninism do make it easier for Marxist-Leninists to be correct. If you disagree with that, you should probably read Marx, Engels, and Lenin.
I agree. He made great contributions to theory. Foundations of Leninism is great - and he’s a really good writer on top of it. Unsurprising as he was a voracious reader of Marxist theory.
Dialectical and Historical Materialism is a good text as well as Marxism and the National Question. Stalin’s writing style is surprisingly gentle and clear, as opposed to Marx’s literary style, Engels’ flowery style, Lenin’s angry shitposter style, or Mao’s straightforward and direct style.
I actually prefer Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy, it helped me greatly with comprehending dialectical and historical materialism. Dialectical and Historical Materialism is good, but Elementary Principles of Philosophy breaks the subject into easily digestible building blocks.
I will always push Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy whenever Dialectical and Historical Materialism is brought up. I prefer it over Dialectical and Historical Materialism greatly, it is more in-depth and breaks the subject down into smaller bites.

I love Stalin’s writings style. That’s a great breakdown. Dialectic and Historical Materislism is the best explanation of those concepts.

I have no idea what the Easter Island head means.
