From Marx to Mao
From Marx to Mao, located at www.marx2mao.com, is an online collection of Marxist texts established in May 1997. It focuses on the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. According to its statement of purpose, it was created in part due to restrictions on the works of Mao, Stalin, and others on the Trotskyist-aligned Marx/Engels collection.[1]

"Is this yet 'another' website devoted to the writings of Scientific Socialism? Perhaps, although I hope not. At the time of this writting, the largest concentration of on-line versions of the literature in the Communist tradition, beginning with and descending from Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels, can be found in the ever-growing Marx/Engels Internet Archive (MEIA).
Although the Marx/Engels collection is by far and away the center-piece of the Archive, followed by the writings of Leon Trotsky and Mao Tse-tung, the works of two major figures in this tradition, V. I. Lenin and J. V. Stalin, are very poorly represented. In the case of Stalin, only three items, and although the Lenin collection numbers more than twenty items, no more than two or three can be classed among Lenin's most significant writings. Indeed, the most striking feature of the Lenin holding is the near total absence of Lenin's major pieces."
