It was my Boyfriends birthday the other day (Yesterday to be exact) and the day before i was out and about (you may have seen me) looking around for a present or two for him. and being myself (look a pointless bracketty interlude) i looked for some great books from history but could not find any of the following...

Mao's little red book
Mein Kampf
Das Capitals or The Communist Manifesto
[Life]President Niyazovs book the Rukhmana
None of Lenins work, nor anything by Stalin.
There were a couple of books about Che's diarys but they themselves wernt present.

Why does no-one print stuff like this ?

People print it. What book stores did you look in? Perhaps some stores don't sell those books because they won't sell, and will only serve to upset some customers.

Low circulation due to societal and moral bankruptcy of the authors.

Major bookstores probably won't carry them because of slow sales. You'll have to order.

Sorry i had to re-write this post and its not up to the original standard, what i should ahve said is...

"Why is stuff like this not in common print"

Damn proles could do with edumacating themsleves :D.

Haha.

Whenever I go into Barnes and Noble, I check to see if they have Winston Churchill's World War II. If they don't I berate them for being Nazi sympathizers, and point out that it must be true, becuase they have at least two biographies of adolf hitler, but fail to stock Churchill's nobel prize winning volume.

Funnily enough, it worked with the Hartsdale branch, fo figure.

Actually reading some of the books mentioned can give good insights into the darkest side of humanity. Honestly it can be educational.

If one is buying as a fan you might also try buying lumber and building a labor/reeducation camp in the backyard too. When he acts bad...off to the labor camps. Shoot him if he makes it to the wire.

I'm not convinced this approach will work on a waterstones, or whether i can do the same thing with Mao little book.

Which incidentally, you may have noticed a first edition copy of that great work fialed ot sell at auction a while back.

FAILED TO SELL.

Are you (plural) people insane.

If they don't I berate them for being Nazi sympathizers

that's comedy

You can buy Capital and the Communist Manifesto on Amazon, last time I checked...
