Domenico Losurdo (14 November 1941 – 28 June 2018) was an Italian Marxist philosopher better known for his critique of anti-communism, colonialism, imperialism, the European tradition of liberalism and the concept of totalitarianism. For the latter, he has been criticised for relativising Joseph Stalin's rule and Stalinism, being often characterised as a neo-Stalinist as a result. **Source**: [Domenico Losurdo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Losurdo) on Wikipedia.
