I am serious. The answer on None really, Stalin's only major work is on the national question, its an informative read. To be an anti-revisionist you don't have to love Stalin, just be against the distortions of Marxism-Leninism. I'm late, but...I wouldn't agree that his "only major" work is Marxism and the National Question. The Foundations of Leninism is 1000x better in my opinion, and is basically Stalin's best work. It is short, blunt, easy-to-read and straight to the point. It is also a good read for beginners. Check it out: http://www.marx2mao.com/Stalin/FL24.html
