I think Verso Books has trotskyist origins, but the things they publish are generally non-sectarian. But I guess they retained the Trotskyist anti-stalinism in their editorial decisions

Ah I guess then it makes sense to me why they would publish Losurdo's other works, but not his book about Stalin specifically. They're big tent, with exceptions for anything too closely associated with or explicitly positive about big bad Joey Steel.
