I'm trying to become a full-on-commie so that I can make friends in college (and also believe in a true all-covering ideology). Post some essential leftypol bluepill videos and books

Start with greeks->antiquity ->medieval philosophy -> early modern philosophy -> German idealism-> classic economics -Marc

No wonder Marxists are so dumb. 1500 years of rich history thrown out of the window.

The worst possible reason to look into something political. Beside, you would have more luck looking into idpol stuff because colleges are more Liberals than Communists.

But if you curious about economics or leftism in general, someone made a list some times ago.

What the fuck are you going on about?

This will take years. He really doesn't need to read Aquinas or other Medieval Christian philosophers.


Don't use the term "bluepill", it's lame and gay.

Read a little Plato and Aristotle. Then skip ahead to Descartes, and his Discourse on the Method and Meditations on First Philosophy. They're kinda foundational for all modern Western philosophy. After that, read a little Hume and Kant. Try Hegel (Phenomenology of Spirit), but don't feel too bad if it appears indecipherable. It is the sort of thing that requires a lot of effort.

If you're interested in Marx's philosophical writings you could look at his 1844 manuscripts, or perhaps The German Ideology. If you want to get into his economics Capital is obviously the main text, but Value, Price and Profit and Wage Labour and Capital are kinda like the sparknotes version.

I would recommend reading Smith and Ricardo before starting on Marx, however.

Any more questions and I'd be happy to help, comrade.

How much material from the Islamic Golden Age have you read?

It's completely irrelevant to understanding Marxism or modern leftist thought. That's the point of this thread you retard.

Why do people read debunked material?

it's about as important as Indian or Chinese philosophy in understanding Marx

OP says he wants to be a full-on-commie

Technocracy is the only true form of communism

Hahah nice meme kiddo.

Open a book. A real one, not meme dated philosophy.

...

Enjoy.

Silly OP, you don't have to actually read Marx for college kids to think you're a Commie.

1. Always push social justice and engage in petty identity politics, and claim Marx would have done the same. If someone points out this contradicts Marxist materialist analysis, accuse them of hating women and/or black people

2. Remember exploitive class and property relations exist because of White men. Yes, it is that simple.

3. In fact, material conditions don't actually have any effect on government, society, ideology, or culture. All we need to do to have real change is take power from muh privileged hetero-normative white, male, cisexual, neurotypical sinners and give them to groups of people you think are underprivileged. Don't explain what "power" is or what it means.

4. Equality is everything. Any perceived inequality can be combated by shouting "oppression" and telling the world about it on tumblr or twitter.

5. Put up posters and wear t-shirts with Che Guevara's face on them. No, you don't need to know who he is or what he believed in.

Hope this helped. Good luck in college!

Seconding this. Also don't bother with this
There's no point in reading antiquity, the Greeks, medival philosophy, or early modern philosophy
And you can sparknotes the German idealists

These people have been forced to read all that shit and now they feel compelled to force everyone else to.

Buddhist, vedic, and especially taoist philosophy is fun to read as well

Say what you want about Maoism, but those Mao suits are pretty cool 2bh

This is obviously a bait-thread you ding-dongs

Let me tell you a little story,

Just read this faggot:

If your friends think Denmark is socialism you came to the wrong board
If not, watch Xexizy's youtube channel and know the difference between socialism (workers own the means of production) and state capitalism (state owns the means of production) and you're good to go.
If you want to get all idpol and select your own special snowflake socialist ideology to follow, I find that Titoism and Anarchism are probably the most popular, but go Posadist if you want to be edgy

only if you look like mao, and not that abomination

Read this and you will see the dangers of sectarianism. Solidarity forever… Or at least until porky is dead then we can kill each other.

OP I'm here to disappoint you. Most people in college aren't full-on-commie, they're just liberals. If you become full-on-commie, you won't make nearly as many friends as you would by becoming full-on-idpol. Getting REDpilled is pretty depressing and only opens your eyes to more capitalist horrors.

Kill yourself.

...

Isn't Marxism red pill? The original?

You are prime cult material friend.
