I am convinced that US Americans do not understand what is happening to their country under Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama because they have not studied Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Gramsci, and Alinsky. If none of the aforesaid was a serious part of your formal education, the end of Lent and Passiontide is a fine time to delve into this Darkness. Did you know that Marx referred to himself as 'the Pope of communism' or that Stalin's gang called him 'the Priest'...? The first book I would recommend is by the late Pastor Richard Wurmbrand. If you are not familiar with him or his book on Marx & Satan, a good place to start are articles on the Churchmouse Campanologist blog.
The Churchmouse Campanologist provides a fine introduction here, and another article provides summaries of each chapter of the Pastor Wurmbrand's book Marx and Satan: click here.
But I do recommend reading the entire book which may be read on Scribd: Marx and Satan.
Additional books to read:
Young Stalin
Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar
