NEW Holla Forums reading list

so… turns out vol. 2 is corrupted and won't display. For now there's only this. Oh well, continuing dump.

Tiqqun, Invisible Commitee, Dauve, or other communization please.

I've never actually bothered to check it, I thought it was just talking about theory like in the cybernetics threads.

Well, I should have mentioned, but I save less the more fringe things unless it's reactionary to study their thinking. I have Dauve tho.

It's another useless PDF dump thread just like this.

theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/comite-invisible

libcom.org/tags/tiqqun
bloom0101.org/?cat=5&lang=en

Don't read Dauve he's trash and will make you dumber.

marx.2u.hu/
This is a collection of mostly Marxist pdfs in Hungarian. You can find here among other things the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Plato in their entirety, a lot of books written under socialism covering a wide range of topics, several relics like reports about the MSZMP's party congresses which would make any real ☭TANKIE☭ cum in an instant and a number of books written by Rousseau, Hegel, Lukács and Rosa Luxemburg.

Gyertek szarposztolni /p/re

Also these.

Speaking of Lukács.

What's so bad about Dauve?

Why does Reddit like "gay communism" so much?

Because they're faggots.

He's pretentious, dishonest and stupid. Just look at the PDF in they are celebrating "communisation" like it's some new, groundbraking theory, but if you read the "in a nutshell" section, it's just the anarchist concept of social revolution rebranded. It's pretty ironic that he likes to drop Debord's name so much because Dauve's work is pretty characteristic of the Spectacle.

Isn't a Holla Forums meme? I'm pretty sure that it would too sexist for them or something and the word cultural capitalism was only really used by le racist transphobic islamophobic cocaine man from the Balkans.

I see, is all Marxist communization just pretentious ancom? And if so, should I just stick to Tiqqun and Invisible Committee?

I highly recommend this. It's Coming Insurrection but better

...

First book I read was Capital tbh.

What you recommend people is dependent primarily on how much spare time they've got. Obviously somebody working 9to5 doesn't have time to read three volumes of Capital, but a University student or NEET has ample time to get to grips with it.

Also, while Mandel's book is a great introduction, I also think it would be a good idea to include the abridged version of Capital Vol. 1 by Ruehle. I haven't read it myself, but I skimmed it and it seems pretty good.

Fresh from the sniffman

I was referring to the post-left texts the user linked.

Leftcom reading list?

Bordiga

pancake

all I have fam, I have Luxemburg too, a lot of her, but idk if that counts as leftcom

Plz post short to mid-length essays, no specific topic

Asking for some recommendations bois.
What would you recommend to read when it comes to Adorno and I guess the Frankfurt school in general. It's peaked my interest as someone with some nationalistic tendencies, also I guess to answer the cultural marxism meme.
Would you have anything that I could recommend to a friend. Like a month ago he was a Holla Forumsirgin lolbert who got into ancap shit because of memes. He's becoming very seriously depressed, and it's obviously due to the current atmosphere of things, he's pretty much got no reason to live outside of consuming more shit and dosen't completely realise it. but I have no idea to make him conscious of what's going on. So I guess just general shit to try make him a little class conscious, and maybe some mutualist, egoist or libsoc stuff.

I'm bumping the thread. I'm out of town so I can share my PDF but it's better I bump this now than forgot in 3 days

"The Decline of Socialism in America: 1912-1925"

Here's a pretty great book on the history of the Socialist Party in America, mostly focusing on its peak & fall. I read it irl a while back, now I found a djvu file, converted it to pdf & added a bunch of bookmarks & links throughout to help reading. Hope people can make use of it, and come to a better understanding of the strong & overlooked history of Socialism in America! (I'm also working on reading some books about the early Communist movement & other strong labor movements)

Apparently it's slightly too big in file size, even tho its just like 300 pages, whatever -

ufile.io/7c565

^ A crappy link to download it, it'll expire in 30 days tho, hopefully someone with more skills than I could compress it?

DE LEONIST READING BLS THANKS

Ehh not necessarely. No matter how much time you got, in the modern day asking someone to read a book is hard enough, if it's even a long one you have close to zero chance of them doing it.
If instead you give them a very simple and digestible 20 pages summary you may hook them up to something more serious. It worked for me, still a brainlet but slowly getting better.
good point

I

This cartoon makes me depressed. Why can't you read theory but also be a deep tanned hypersexual 10/10 slut
Also who the hell goes from fascism to social democracy? other than me, kinda

Just look at this comrade's gets. Their needs must be seen to!

if you want dump pdfs just go to >>>/freedu/

If we're gonna have 2 stickies you anons better check the first list before posting to avoid overlap.

...

I don't like pdf's.
Any books hosted on websites?

Anarchist Library, Marxists.org, and Libcom should have most things, though some works on Marxists gets taken down by copyright or whatever.

Alright.
Wait why copyright?
Also isn't there strong irony in said works being removed by such a capitalist concept?

Why not both?
For that matter why not take over >>>/pdfs/ and >>>/pdf/ Both are neglected Holla Forums outposts, for now. . . .

The authors or publishers want your money.
Ask publishers or authors who get their work posted on there.

Why don't we make a non-theory reading chart? With great books about history, anthropology, sociology, journalism etc. that everyone interested in leftism should read.

These are charts I made basically covering DiaMat, and Marxian Economics from beginner status to literally everything you need to know. Would definitely like to see a Socialist history chart, though.

You don't have to read Descartes and chug your way through the entire history of philosophy before Marx. Just reading the Dialectical Logic book will do (Ilyenkov goes over everything you need to know in the beginning concerning Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, etc. before touching upon Hegel and Marx).

So I could read Dialetical Logic and go straight to Marx and Engels?

Start with Plato, then Ilyenkov.

communization is everything anarchism wishes it could be

I don't think anarchists want to be autistic academics who are too busy mystifying their theories to leave their armchairs.

getout

Anarchism wants to be anarchism that pretends not to be anarchism? Hot take.

Only Stirner comes to mind

Sorry but I don't have much of FS. I have some of the essential Adorno and next I'll post Marcuse.

Also to everyone else that posts a bunch of PDFs it would be helpful if you accompanied your post with the pic of the writer if there's room, so newcomers in the thread could quickly find their way through.

accidentally uploaded the same file twice, here's the correct one with a bonus of Benjamin

And now for Marcuse. His files are pretty heavy so it's gonna be a string of posts.

...

I should mention that book is about Benjamin's ideas. Chaya, would you say it's a good overview of the man and his philosophy?

moar Marcuse

...

Because people have the right to be lazy and it's unlikely they'd go lots of old threads on multiple boards that they're unlikely to even be aware of just to find something they were interested in.

Besides, I've already went through that trouble myself, that's where I got the Marcuse PDFs. What I want is that newcomers to the board would have an easy way finding various writers condensed in either of the two threads. Also I want this thread to be more organized than the previous one so you don't need to read every post in order to not miss some particular book.

That's the idea actually. Although I've already probably posted some that were mentioned in the previous thread.

somebody make a fucking Mega instead of all this shit

I've actually made a mega folder a long time ago. It went under the radar and it pretty much means that these threads are far more comfortable for people than sifting through Mega folders. And that the mods are too sleazy to notice something useful to sticky.

Anyway, it's not that good either because there are always new books to add, and unless someone wants to become the Holla Forums librarian it's not gonna fly. Besides, this thread is meant precisely for books that weren't posted there, books that can be only vaguely connected to leftism but still useful like

Here are the mega folders:
Marx and Engels complete works:
mega.nz/#F!cxtRWKba!os0o4sMveFprKsScSEQF2g

Lacan and Lacanianism:

The Holla Forums folder I arranged a long time ago:
mega.nz/#F!4EcEhIoS!5aZfv2Kz-IxQT933ywGf4w

No one liked my idea? ;_;

Great. I really liked One-Dimensional Man.

That's what I wanted to this thread to (partially) be. I really should have emphasized it more, thanks user.

Two more to go. 1/2

2/2
And that's it for Marcuse with lastly an overview of the Frankfurt School.

Any good books on/by Bakunin and the other anarchists in the First Internationale?

And now here are some PDFs about just what you asked for.

But the negative nancies ITT have a point, so in order that this doesn't become just a repetition of the first reading thread and /theory/ thread, I propose two new rules:

1. Don't post requests until you've skimmed/ctrl+f through the other two threads for your author/book.

2. To make sure this thread has more resources than empty posts try to attach a relevant file(s) every time you post. The file doesn't has to be strictly related to leftism.

look for "Bakunin on Anarchy" in the Holla Forums folder

Here's a book on non-lolbert praxeology for a change. According to the user that originally shared it in a different thread, it was written by a socialist. Given that the guy lived this long in the USSR and reached a prestigious position it's safe to say it's applicable to a leftist perspective.

Stories, Theories and Things
Christine Brooke-Rose

How we're going to save the old thread?

What was that book I saw someone make a thread about. user described it as a modern Capital for smart people because it gave mathematical equations for everything. I know someone who might be able to read it or something similar who isn't leftist but is open to questioning capitalism. It might convince him if the equations are sound.

That spectrum is basically how I progressed politically.

Any books about education in socialist states or goals of education in socialism?

I've read Paolo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed but that's about it. Everything else I've read is mostly neolib bullshit.

all I have, also check here for Stirner's "The False Principle of Our Education"

theanarchistlibrary.org/library/francisco-ferrer-the-origin-and-ideals-of-the-modern-school
theanarchistlibrary.org/library/michail-bakunin-equal-opportunity-in-education
theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-the-social-importance-of-the-modern-school

Read Paolo Freire's other books & articles?

Why would lazy people read the small library of books you have dumped?

Ok, I'll explain without hyperbole. People, especially newcomers onto this board, will more likely read books they're presented with - if they're interested - instead of scavenging for titles across multiple threads and multiple boards.

I'd move it down at least two places, it's really tough for someone supposedly just leaving Econ 101.

Alex Anievas dump

Some really great perspectives on Marxist International Relations / Imperialism theory. The best one is definitely How the West Came to Rule. If you read one book on the history of the rise of capitalism, this is the one.

Splitting for size, the first are his books, the second are his edited collections (cataclysm is especially good)

...

Is he your prof?

You do realize that honeybee social structure is more similar to that of fascism than communism right? It's collectivization under the purpose of serving authority.

However Fascism highly encouraged privatization instead of collectivism

Sure, but what difference does it make to lack private property when the social structure tp ehich you are subject to respects neither bodily autonomy nor personal property.
If humanity adopted such a structure, it would probably be less sustainable then fascism.

Damn that looks retarded. I meant to say "to which."

A "queen bee" is not an actual monarch, and the organization in which they find a new colony is not to "serve" someone but to find a livable home. Unless you were referring to something else in honeybee hive structure.

Sade - Crimes of Love

I have collected a shitload of pdf's over time.
Not all of them have to do with leftism though.
Not sure what im supposed to post, here are some

A brilliant distillation of the real motivations behind U.S. foreign policy, compiled from talks and interviews completed between 1986 and 1991, with particular attention to Central America.

Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. Members of bands like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, the Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Mamas and the Papas, the Turtles, the Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf, Captain Beefheart, CSN, Three Dog Night, Alice Cooper, the Doors, and Love with Arthur Lee, along with such singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Judi Sill and David Blue, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the Hollywood Hills.

But there was a dark side to that scene as well.

Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than most would care to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with his murderous entourage. Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians, and intelligence personnel - the same sort of people who just happened to give birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon. And all of the canyon's colorful characters - rock stars, hippies, murderers, and politicos - happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation.

Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon is the very strange, but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a hippie utopia.

The CIA and the cult of intelligence:

The book discusses how the CIA works and how its original purpose (i.e. collecting and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and persons in order to advise public policymakers) has, according to the author, been subverted by its obsession with clandestine operations. It is the first book the federal government of the United States ever went to court to censor before its publication. The CIA demanded the authors remove 399 passages[2] but they resisted and only 168 passages were censored.[3] The publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, chose to publish the book with blanks for censored passages and with boldface type for passages that were challenged but later uncensored

A brief history of time:

In A Brief History of Time, Hawking writes in non-technical terms about the structure, origin, development and eventual fate of the universe, which is the object of study of astronomy and modern physics. He talks about basic concepts like space and time, basic building blocks that make up the universe (such as quarks) and the fundamental forces that govern it (such as gravity). He writes about cosmological phenomena such as the Big Bang and the black holes. He discusses two major theories, general relativity and quantum mechanics, that modern scientists use to describe the universe. Finally, he talks about the search for a unifying theory that describes everything in the universe in a coherent manner.

For some reason its not letting me upload after that post.

The Black Box Society: The Secret Algorithms That Control Money and Information

by Frank Pasquale

Fix'd

For shame. You should at least have read Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, and Hegel before Marxian philosophy.

post that in the oc thread

great suggestion, then why didn't you post one instead of complaining? Here are a few, the others a tad bit too large for me to post together with these. I don't really want to post random PDFs of the thinkers you listed so if anyone has requests let me know what you want.

Everyone from Descartes onwards can be found on earlymoderntexts.com

I'd also add to the list in my initial comment, Leibniz and Berkeley respectively between Locke and Hume. Also, Hobbes' Leviathan ought to be read between Descartes and Locke (mainly because it provides important context for Second treatise of government).

Oh, and obviously Hegel and Schopenhauer after Kant.

So is it me being a brainlet or is Das Capital that hard to follow?
I don't know… I feel like I do not understand half of what he is saying and the other half is a convoluted repetition of the little I've understood. (I'm at chapter 3)
I don't have much philosophical background, so that's may be the problem. My high school professor was an arrogant imbecile full of himself that made me hate anything related to its class.

Yes, it's is. Even if you begun by reading Marx directly (who didn't write - nor, imo, was translated - in an accessible manner), you should've started with the Critique of Political Economy (while it mostly deals with the chapters you've read already, there is also "method of political economy" that might grant you some insights). It should get (somewhat) easier later on.

Obviously, there are alternative ways to learn Marxist theory other than reading directly, but that usually presupposes that you support a specific school of thought: there are also study guides and comments on the subject (ML have quite concise "Political Economy" textbooks). Discussing things also helps tremendously.

As for philosophy, I consider it extremely important for understanding Marx (and quite a few scientific concepts, like theory of relativity) - and operating Marxist concepts. Predictably enough, source of your philosophical education also depends on the supported trend (I'd suggest looking up Cornforth - IIRC, libgen has his books).

That's the whole point, I think. Status quo is Capitalist, and it has to rely on distorting perception of reality, on obfuscating things - to prevent masses from disrupting it. There is simply no reason to support dissemination of philosophy that actually helps general public to think, to understand things as they are. This is how we ended up with pomo nonsense being presented as "philosophy".

Thank you user

Would anyone have some recs for books that would cover "le basic economics"? Would Wealth of Nations be one?

I mean it would be but since Adam Smith people have gotten really good at condensing free-market ideology. So you could get the big ideas a lot faster by reading something contemporary.
is a pretty good one that's very readable that's a history of economic academics, it gives pretty good historical context and all that.
are also pretty good. They give the basic neoclassical ideas and present them along with leftist (not necessarily always marxist) critiques and real-world examples of things not working like overly simplified explanations would have you think.
Personally I'd recommend those 3 first. Then the more contemporary classics like General Theory and Road to Serfdom and maybe even some Milton Friedman. Capital (probably with the David Harvey companion) and Wealth of Nations after those.

Has any of you heard about I.I.Rubin's " Essays on Marx Theory of Value"? If yes, do you recommend it? I started it a couple of days ago and it seems so far like a convincing interpretation of Marx

I'm aware of him in a cursory sense, but I understand him to be an excellent crossroads between the economic and social corpus of capital in Marx.

1. The Power Elite: The Power Elite is a 1956 book by sociologist C. Wright Mills, in which Mills calls attention to the interwoven interests of the leaders of the military, corporate, and political elements of society and suggests that the ordinary citizen is a relatively powerless subject of manipulation by those entities.

2. A Brief History of Neoliberalism: Neoliberalism–the doctrine that market exchange is an ethic in itself, capable of acting as a guide for all human action–has become dominant in both thought and practice throughout much of the world since 1970 or so. Writing for a wide audience, David Harvey, author of The New Imperialism and The Condition of Postmodernity, here tells the political-economic story of where neoliberalization came from and how it proliferated on the world stage. Through critical engagement with this history, he constructs a framework, not only for analyzing the political and economic dangers that now surround us, but also for assessing the prospects for the more socially just alternatives being advocated by many oppositional movements.

3. Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich: Nazism is usually depicted as the outcome of political blunders and unique economic factors: we are told that it could not be prevented, and that it will never be repeated. In this explosive book, Guido Giacomo Preparata shows that the truth is very different: using meticulous economic analysis, he demonstrates that Hitler's extraordinary rise to power was in fact facilitated – and eventually financed – by the British and American political classes during the decade following World War I. Through a close analysis of events in the Third Reich, Preparata unveils a startling history of Anglo-American geopolitical interests in the early twentieth century. He explains that Britain, still clinging to its empire, was terrified of an alliance forming between Germany and Russia. He shows how the UK, through the Bank of England, came to exercise control over Weimar Germany and how Anglo-American financial support for Hitler enabled the Nazis to seize power. This controversial study shows that Nazism was not regarded as an aberration: for the British and American establishment of the time, it was regarded as a convenient way of destabilising Europe and driving Germany into conflict with Stalinist Russia, thus preventing the formation of any rival continental power block. Guido Giacomo Preparata lays bare the economic forces at play in the Third Reich, and identifies the key players in the British and American establishment who aided Hitler's meteoric rise.

"The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism objectively presents the prominent themes, epochal events, theoretical explanations, and historical accounts of imperialism from 1776 to the present. It is the most historically and academically comprehensive examination of the subject to date."

Baedan - Journal of Queer Nihilism

Strong disagree

REQUEST (please):

Does anyone know of any good modern critiques of capitalist political economy? Preferably from a Marxian perspective, but as long as it's broadly socialist I'll be fine.

Are there also any good texts, written in the modern high-tech era, dealing with the prospective organisation of a socialist, or indeed actually communist, society?

1. see pdf
2. no, that's utopian

Don't know enough economics for that one. Is there anything accessible?

So when you get people saying "fuck white people" and fighting AGAINST the system, it's a bad thing? Thanks OP.

Naomi Klein?

Anything from the Frankfurt school of witchcraft and wizardry?

Any particular work you want?

Plenty of Adorno has already been posted. And I think Marcuse is around here somewhere.

Here:

Plenty from these anons. Have a ball.

Thanks. It's at least more readable than TtQI. It is beginning to, along with the Butler I've read, elucidate something which has some value to it, but which I may consider writing about in order to redirect it from its either apolitical (sorry, Butler) or anti-civ tendencies. I think restructuring queer theory into a materialist/class struggle framework may have some value for my own ends, but I don't think this project has been adequately faced yet. Still, Butler and Baedan have been useful in teasing out the details which do interest me.

Anyone got any good works on the development/history of Communist thought?

Not Holla Forums related but anything that addresses the wars of the 90s is also welcome

Parenti has a good book on that.

Thank you!

Eh I wouldn't trust Wolff. Tons of people have called him out on fabricating quotes and he's been sued a few times for outright lying in books.

Does anyone have any reading lists for newfags pertaining to the different types of Marxism? Like a Leninism list, Stalinism list, Maoist list, etc?

The Autobiography of Malcolm X
As told by Alex Haley

any onr have any contemporary philosophers that are just interesting to read? Preferably leftist ofc, but it doesn't have to be strictly political.

wasnt the frankfurt school funded by the cia?

Requesting: hjalmar schacht - The Stabilization of the Mark

Can't find it in any internet library

Actually, according to Horkheimer and this (Jewish) scholar, it's just Judaism undercover. I'm not trolling or from Holla Forums, watch this vid and check the PDF. I bet Chaya would agree with me.

What purpose would that serve? They didn't really accomplish much other than write some neat theory about culture.

Have you read anything from any of them?

No, but I do think that sort of analysis that she made is interesting.

collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/s4/f2/dsk2/tape15/PQDD_0013/NQ33531.pdf
ROUSSEAU AND NIETZSCHE: TOWARDS AN AESTHETIC MORALITY
an inquiry into questions of collectivism, utopia etc. from two opposite viewpoints

I'm putting up a great version of Engel's "Dialectics of Nature" and also including some Hegel, since it'd do to have his work on here

All of these are a waste of time and pure nonsense not based on any actual empirical observations in the real world. It would be better to focus on other readings.

Literally no one reads Scholar Select. Just look at those disgusting covers! EW!

Of course we find some autistic deductive shitlord on this site. Epistemology buddy, learn about it.

This slogfest is probably a waste of time, but use the secondary sources he talks about. Kojeve mainly.

inexcusably vague and bland philosopher
if you want a really good Soviet philosopher, read Bakhtin

Why do you think so? His work is enjoyable and he does give some satisfactory commentary on Russian life and history. What you said could be said about many other Russian philosophers, his contemporaries and predecessors, particularly the vagueness part.

Exactly because a grand philosophical effort is neither "enjoyable" nor "satisfactory".
that's why those who are outside of this category are all more valuable.
Seems like another romantic forgery to me, although it might pass for "commentary", since it's "enjoyable".

Is there a political science textbook that is not liberal propaganda?

Meme theorists who will help bring over normies to leftism?
Preferably ones that aren't going to give the Karltural Marxism vibe (like the Frankfurt School)
An example for what I'm looking for is Stirner.

UP IS DOWN
LEFT IS RIGHT

Biologically, bees are literally slaves for the queen. Do you want to be a slave?

Besides the idea that groupthink is superior to logic and reasoning in the individual is laughable. Groups are much easier to manipulate and convince. Propagandists/Cults/Armies/Religions/Advertisers (Capitalists) all use the psychology of groups effectively. WITHOUT EXCEPTION. It is the cause of our enslavement, not the solution.

Groups follow morally/emotionally charged narratives, not logic and reason. Most individuals in our society flock in groups. Even though people on the chans think of themselves as NON-NORMIE, they too follow emotion and narrative, investing in the dankness of their own memes.

For those who seek to CONTROL us with DECEPTION, the most powerful tool is Narrative. The management of identity groups, on the basis of nation, race, class, or creed keeps us people fighting against one another while the true masters (those who control money and knowledge) hide in the shadows.

They want the PEASANT class to fight the MERCHANT class, while the PRIESTS, BANKERS and KINGS continue to harvest the proceeds of our labor.

YOU ARE CATTLE TO THEM!!!

Think about what abolishing private property actually means.

It means that no private person can control production.
Which means that the people (you) have no control over their financial security or future.
But people naturally want control over their lives. We all do. If we lose it we go mad. Literally. So what must be established to ensure that the people do not control their own lives? CENTRALIZED POWER (the queen bee)

Socialism can never lead to true communism, because communism is not stable. Without hegemonic control, the human instinct for control and security leads us ultimately back down one of the paths we have been down before. It simply CANNOT be a state of enduring freedom and peace because of the LAWS OF HUMAN NATURE! The nature we inherited from our ancestors, which they used to secure our existence and which we will use to secure the existence of our offspring (except incels)

The only way to achieve the BEE SOCIETY in truth is to change our biology and so to change HUMAN NATURE.

See Brave New World. It is a brilliant book based on what a human BEEHIVE would really look like.

It's also human nature to bleed when shot

I'm looking for books that deal with violence in society.
And i'm also looking for books that tell about the role of information today.
Any recommendations?

Posadas: marxists.org/archive/posadas/1968/06/flyingsaucers.html
warning: this is a joke

Can't say much about violence, but for information I found McKenzie Wark's "A Hacker manifesto" really interesting: selforganizedseminar.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/wark_hacker_manifesto.pdf

Also, this: dklevine.com/general/intellectual/against.htm and this: free-culture.cc/freeculture.pdf

Thanks, user. Yeah, i couldn't find anything about violence either, but i managed to find something about information. Reading Mark Fisher's Captalism Realism and watching some of his lectures, there are moments where he talks about the subject. And there's some references he uses that i'm planing to read, like Franco "Bifo" Berardi.

I only got the audio book

Zizek's Violence.

kill yourselves, you leftist human garbage.

“Leftist” isn’t a functional insult here.

Comrdes, i am doing a literature review on "the rise of marxism in the 20th century". Does anyone have any Marxist literature/writings i should review? I am already talking about Sartre's Black Orpheus, does anyone have any other suggestions? I need 4 or 5

What do you mean by "Marxist" literature? Anything specific or is it anything goes? Do you need different strands or is just one alright? Check through the thread there are plenty of like
also check the MEGA folder

class struggle

Why not the Frankfurt School though? Karltural Marxism isn't something normies really freak out about, mostly just Holla Forumstards and other fascists.

would like to know this too
Something really objective and unbiased in either direction would be great, insofar that is possible

now that's the most meaningless verbiage I've heard in a while, congrats

Be sure to read this gem, everybody.
You're in for quite a ride

So I drop my head into leftypol and the first thing stickied is some shit about honeybees. Is this a fucking kindergarten, where you are now telling stories about animals? Am I supposed to get emotional and think, "aww shucks, people can be just like insects!"?

I could tell you a story about reptiles to shill for lolbertarian individualism, but guess what?

THEY'RE FUCKING ANIMALS.

If the argument on your "reading list" is literally a kindergarten story, it might be time to reevaluate your political ideals.

Race is real.

read a book.tiff

If you actually took a minute to look around instead of sperging you'd realize this is the 2nd book thread and meant not just for leftist literature (which has been posted) but any literature which could be of interest. The bee book isn't meant to prove "people are like bees", it's meant to give an in-depth example of Kropotkin's thesis on mutual aid.

Your tard pic is coincidentally appropriate for your post.

FUCK DONALD TRUMP

how do I embed a youtube video into a post?

You can't do that here, embedding makes datamining easier.

I think it only works if you post good youtube videos

Does anyone here has texts by Kalecki?
