It sounds like you disagree and want to challenge his perspective, which might be a difficult task for a gift. Also I'm not sure why you think his interest in Marx and Lenin would be stifling to his intellectual thoughts...their writings contain a lot of historical analysis that is still relevant today.
Since he likes history & activism, maybe a book about the history of the socialist party would be better? Particularly a non-Soviet or more international socialist history. If you are in the USA, this book might be a good choice: The Socialist Party of America: A Complete History.
