So Marx and most marxists never wrote about stuff like theology, metaphysics, ethics or aesthetics

Karl Marx was a student of philosophy and got a PhD for his thesis about Democritus and Epicurus.

Frankfurt School, or more broadly Western Marxism and the New Left.

More recently people like Badiou have written books on literally every subject.

the stirnerite fears the sublime

are you asking what Philsophers we like OP, or what Philosophers are Marx Approved^TM ?

Yeah but he never wrote about any of that

I been interested on the frankfurt school, that'll kill two with a single shot

What philosophers that go well with marx but where not marxists

I challenged a fundie (my classmate back then) to read Schoppenhauer to test his faith (in return to me having to read the bible. Lots of funny +18 stuff there so it was bearable, YHWH is an asshole, women and Canaanites lul)

He didn't pass and now you can actually talk to him like a normal human being

Alan Watts is one of the few people blessed with the gift of being able to talk for hours on end without saying a word. His teachings sound profound but are entirely free of implications in the real world. His few points that have any real meaning are just reiterations of what Buddhists have been saying for centuries.

You want unrelated stuff, huh?

Win Forever by Pete Caroll is sports philosophy.

The Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee is martial arts philosophy.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu is interesting but outdated. Does anyone know any good modern military philosophers?

But what if I told you…

…that Marx…

got a

P
h
D in philosophy

for his T H E S I S about Democritus and Epicurus?

He did. It was his thesis.

You can try older stuff like An Inquery Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations or Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men.

And then what, the demand for philosophy to be instruction manuals is lolbert autism.

It's the "not an argument" meme, the limitation of understanding to formulas that imagine people as one-dimensional puppets in an infinite trolley problem.

Max Weber. He was anti-capitalist and his critique of socialism should be considered outdated now.

Are you drunkposting?

What were his antithesis and synthesis about?

First of all:

I am an existential nihilist, but I find it liberating. Meaning life should inherently be clay in our hands to mould as we please.

...

I will think about this

So Marx's college thesis is good?

Wasn't he the father of lolberts?

If it was I shouldn't age, and I should not look the way I look.

I remember an user saying Oswald Spengler, of all people, on a thread about right wingers anons liked. I'm really interested in getting my hands on "Decline of the West" and reading it for myself after reading a general summary of the book as well as that user unwittingly explaining why Spengler, in spite of going out of his way to claim he is some sort of "Anti-Marxist", is actually highly compatible with Marx's view on history.

When you combine Spengler's work with Marxism, what you get is a belief that Communism is actually Faustian Civilization's newest great project to finally fulfill/maintain itself iirc

That sounds interesting as fuck

Carl von Clausewitz. And his book On War.

"War is merely the continuation of policy by other means."

But to put the war stuff in perspective, a rather obvious picture is the second one included.

If only there was a way to build socialism without the bourgeoisie hurling their obedient guard dogs recruited from the 99% (the bourgeoisie practices actual class solidarity, they would not dare to waste their own numbers in a pointless meat grinder for the partition of worlds, resources and markets).

Policy is merely the continuation of war by other means.
