What kind of a person reads over ten books of theory and still ends up on a vaush subreddit?
- 1984
- Harry Potter #1
- Harry Potter #2
- Harry Potter #3
- Harry Potter #4
- Harry Potter #5
- Lolita
- Harry Potter #6
- Harry Potter #7
- Brave New World
When you choose to leave this world while mainlining acid like Huxley then you can try to slander my boy.
Huxley was absolutely right and 1984 is the lesser of the great dystopian novels
I don't even think 1984 is very lib, but both of those rank waaaaaay up there in the pantheon of literature misinterpretated by libs which they can't stop circlejerking about
1984 isn't pro-anything. It's just a very long, very dull, barely disguised anti-Stalin rant.
You're too deep. It's a great book against a surveillance state for what it's worth.
It really, really is not a "great book" by any metric. It absolutely drips with Orwell's bitterness over his experiences in Catalonia. It has no value of its own whatsoever, it is only interesting as an insight into the depth of Orwell's hatred for communists.
It's a great book against a surveillance state. C'mon man, I know Orwells's a bit of a shit to put it lightly but that doesn't mean he didn't write a great book about how surveillance state bad actually that's digestable by the common man
Go ask a lib about bush and tell me he wasn't right about the memory hole.
No one has to rewrite historical documents or throw things in the memory hole because people literally do not care. They believe whatever they were most recently told to believe. All the evidence that Bush sucked massive ass is still out there, libs just don't care. It didn't go anywhere.
Yeah but once they get rid of those dirty tankies they're going to do real socialism with their 0-3 points of reference.
This is because vaush is part of the pipeline. Even he knows he's not the most knowledgeable guy, and urges others to leave him for more informative takes on the details. Good thing hes not just building a cult. These great folks will be hardened communists in no time at all. Thank you, vaush!
I used to think this, but he punches left so often and is racist so often that he's just his own little radlib cult at this point.
This explains fucking everything lol. They need to unironically go outside and read theory
I must yet again tell everyone that being a worker auto-didact is central to your continued political development. Especially if you have no immediate organ to do political organizing in-person in your free time, you need to be educating yourself not just theoretically but also historically.
If you read 21 books you get given your T-34 and your Ushanka and pointed at Budapest.
Okay of those who read 1-3 who wants to bet it's 1, and that it's the Manifesto?
Reminds me when Peterson prepared to debate Zizek by skimming the communist manifesto, lmao.
I'm betting at least half are just too embarrassed to answer 0 on am anonymous poll
lol but listen to them when they tell you what real leftism is, you dumb tankie redfashes!
I was gonna read theory, but Discworld ate up 16 of my twenty allotted lifetime books.
Those are the same people who were recently arguing against homework and bedtimes.
I've read a lot of theory, am a professional teacher and am anti homework
Still very pro bedtime though,

i guess like 40ish books if you count soviet fiction books with a socialist bent :bugs-stalin:
most socialist literature is pretty short tbh. ones that really stand out as dense are xi jinpings the governance of china and das kapital
Read Capital Abridged by Julian Borchardt (there's an American/Penguin print that was edited by Max Eastman before he went full libertarian that's really good and has Lenin and Engles writings included).
Governance of China is really just a collection of speeches about policy, you can basically use it as a reference instead of reading it like a novel.
xi jinpings the governance of china
is it good? i only skimmed through chapter names and it seemed pretty lib-pilled :deeper-sadness:
i plan on reading it eventually, i'm just curioushe has some interesting takes on the fall of the soviet union which i largely agree with
I read the manifesto and State+Revolution one weekend at work and not much else, tbh
Those are the most important, I'd also recommend what is to be done and basically everything Parenti has done too.
Parenti is incredibly easy to read.
I've meant to read Parenti for a while now, he seems the most obviously relevant to the current era. Although I've read the nonfalsifiable orthodoxy quote enough that I've basically read a book, right? :very-smart:
BSAR is only like 120 pages lol, you can read it in an afternoon.
Wage Labour & Capital and Value, Price & Profit will give you an okay base of the economic part of Marxism.
Critique of the Gotha Program is also very short and very easy to read, it'll shed some light into what Marx and Engels thought about certain things like what they think of equality under a socialist/communist society. probably my favorite book by Marx i've read so far.
I thought not reading theory was a requirement to join.
