It doesn’t talk about systems of government specifically, nor does it advocate behaviors from political leaders beyond economic concerns. It certainly doesn’t advocate for Lenin’s or Stalin’s brutal campaigns of oppression, both of which were conducted for personal gain.

I’m in my mid 30s in Eastern Europe and having partly lived in what comes out of those “open minded” books you suggest, and having seen my family (both parents and grandparents) being the victim of oppression , secret police state, lack of basic resources and having their ownership destroyed for the “good of the…
