This, there are thee volumes, I've read the first and can recommend. It is a different reading to what you may be accustomed, though, since these writings were documents written for party purposes in very specific moments. They still apply, it's just that maybe they do not get to the point sometimes or dwindle with issues that were going on at the moment, but they are great works and I think volume 2 and 3 are better.
Roland Boer recently brought this up on Multipolarista, he brought up Deng’s works and explained he wasn’t as prolific a writer as Stalin or Mao because he was so extremely busy. I wish I remembered the works he listed but listen to that episode if you’re interested, I love Benjamin Norton’s work
I might have seen the same thing. Did he say something along the lines of, 'if you think Deng was a capitalist roader, read his works – he was always a staunch communist'. It was a great interview.
