Not enough beavers

I asked a similar question on /pol/ but the answers were not to my satisfaction.

I'm looking for books and other works on what makes political movements successful. Many flounder or peter out despite a lot of initial energy.

I read Trotsky's "The revolution betrayed" but its boring as shit and just reads about Trotsky making excuses for his own failures.

I made a similar thread about it on /his/ but i suppose i could do it here as well.

I'm trying to read up on radical leftist literature, mostly from the 19th century to early 20th (early Bolsheviks before Stalin). But what is off-putting is the jargon used. I can't quite put my finger on what is the issue, but each text of that era seems to be extremely dry word salad that wouldn't be out of place being generated by ChatGPT. It's like an economics textbook on a fantasy world.

Are all leftist books like this?
