Incredible fucking thread. You don't need to understand Hegelian categories to be a Marxist. You don't even really need Hegel. Marx only used dialectics as a method of presenting changes and development in historical phenomena, not as a means of understanding. You can't dialectically understanding anything.

>inb4 muh Lenin
Lenin was already finished with retards like you by 1905.

>>22750
It is not just Lenin that disagree with you but Engels, too.
In his writings, Engels make it pretty clear that he seens Dialetics as something important in order to understand the world. He differentiate between a metaphysical and a Dialektical approach to understand the world. The main difference, as I can tell, is the idea of fixed substances or essences.

You claim that you do not need Hegel in order to understand Marx, depends deep on your interpretation. Marx makes some comments that sounds in a way that justify the hypothesis that he never dropped Hegelian philosophy.

The theory of consciousness, the Widerspiegelungstheorie der Wahrheit (mirrortheory of truth) and all that can not be explained without some philosophy. And this philosophy has to be Hegelian in nature.

Someone posted this else where, map of science of logic:

Hard disagree. Dialectical thinking is a very powerful tool to understand systems and change. I personally use it all the time in my life for mundane reasoning and tasks.

Not platformism for that you want Makhno but here is soviet super science.

Repeat to yourself.
I am.
I am will.

Found to keep operators of key machinery keep operating through anything even dosing by hallucinogens.

THANK YOU MAN!

SCREW MAKHNO, I'LL JUST STICK TO THE SOVIET WAY

Not Marxist but some historical background includes

- Williams, Linda. Hard Core: Power, Pleasure and the "Frenzy of the Visible
- Kaoru Nagayama. Erotic Comics in Japan: An Introduction to Eromanga
- Kimi Rito. The History of Hentai Manga: An Expressionist Examination of EroManga

Late but a really good one is Pornography: men posessing women by andrea dworkin.

Read Baudrillard and realize that all media is pornography and our experience is mediated by this obscene pornography.

Any works of Gerard Bossuat?

Danke, I'll start with the recommended then. I wonder if they're in the sticky…

And I meant to say "The Ignorant Schoolmaster" :)

>>22637
I started reading the schoolmaster book and the irony is that its thesis is something along the lines of “if one has the willpower to learn, they do not need a professor breathing down their neck, all they need is a book, every form of learning is translation and personal processing.” Basically a French prof had a class of people he didn’t know the home language of and he just gave them a classic text and a dictionary and they all learned high quality French by the end of the class with little to no input on his part. The empowering leftist part is that we don’t need the ivory tower carrot and sticking us to learn and to chase the dragon of mastery. We all have the power inside ourselves. In a thread like this, university is an external motivator that artificially creates the drive and willpower to study the text, but we on the left read theory from a personal motivation. Those wanting to learn how to learn can take my starting point and build from it, reject the suggested texts, or do some secret third thing. For I as a poster am but another text for you to translate yourself. Neat rec. Thanks!

Are they pro or anti-Pol Pot?

>>22141
Read classical economical argument on free trade and spezialization.

>>22168
I don't think he's either, but right wingers will call him pro Pol Pot because he's way less biased than lib historians and rejects the claim of KR killing millions. i once saw Vickery referred to as a "pro-Vietnam revisionist".

On a similar note, are there any good pro-Mugabe books?

Be more selective with what you read I guess. Beyond that, I once had a conversation with a friend wherein we basically said the only way to enjoy things these day i.e TV, movies, art, fiction etc etc. you kinda have to wear like ideological lenses - place yourself at a distant and just use it to numb your mind to a certain extent. Otherwise you're gonna go insane with how shitty (almost) everything is. Ideally, reading theory etc. immunizes you to a certain degree from the most glaringly disgusting aspects of the Spectacle.

its always shocking to me how boring the stuff ppl read is, most classics are trash imo.

7-8 years ago i got rly into fin-de-siecle french decadent stuff, 19th century european decadent & symbolist lit in general.

its full of sex drugs and death, its pretty pulpy and plot-driven most of the time too. not boring at all, very metal. The fin-de-siecle concept of 'spleen' is very applicable today. I'd recommend (bearing in mind that a lot of these authors are fundamentally reactionary but w/e)-

Moravagine by Blaise Cendrars
Torture Garden by Octave Mirbeau
Abbe Jules by Octave Mirbeau
La-Bas by JK Huysmans
Monsieur de Phocas by Jean Lorrain

My favorite book is Harry Potter (I only read the first one)

The book that influenced me the most would have to be a tie between the Bible and Slaughterhouse 9 (although those germans totally had it commin, amiright?)

I like how they are heavy and very chewy without rotting your teeth.

I'm not going to be reading anymore now that chat GPT is online because how will I ever know if what I am reading was written by a person?

>>670
I need to put these books on my reading list right now.
Six-Legged Soldiers by Jeffrey Lockwood.
>It's about using insects in war. Basically the bugs can used to kill crops or spread disease (etc). Quite horrifying and totally inhumane.

The Battle for Your Brain by Nita Farahany
>The pigs are trying own your body.

The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell.
>I want to know how to set up barricades etc.

Total Resistance by Hans von Dach
>Same as above but more.

The simple fact is that if you want to protect civilization, you have to make it as efficient as possible. and the most efficient animals are herbivores. Civilization is already herbivore (agriculture) but we waste a significant ammount of plant matter farmign stupid ass meat which is an energy sink.

Veganism is necessary. More than half of the megafauna left on Earth (animals that weight more than 40 kg) are farm animals. That is insane. It destroys entire ecosystems and make us dependable on a few species of animals that are grown close to each other in horrible conditions that make pandemics more likely. Those pandemics can (AND WILL) decimate farm animal populations and create hunger.
We have been artifically selecting plants for thousands of years to have more proteins, be more energetic, have fat and more. We should seize that opportunity.

political veganism is reactionary
that said, there are many good reasons to move toward vegan industry, primarily climate ones and also shortening the working week

>>20413
After much consideration, my issue with ethical veganism other than my moral nihilism is that there really is no ethical consumption under capitalism, ethical veganism is lifestylism in a negative sense as opposed to lifestylism as actual anarcho-individualism (anarcho-individualists are not "lifestylists," lifestylism is a very ancom thing to do). "Voting with your wallet" is such a lolbertarian way of looking at things and changes absolutely nothing. I am not throwing shade at Animal Liberation Front. Quite the opposite, I throw shade at veganism, because veganism doesn't equal animal liberation and never did. At least ALF does something in order to liberate the animals, drinking a Starbucks coffee while eating a veggie burger in a first-world country won't stop the genocide of the animals or climate change, it's not gonna happen. Unabomber did more to stop climate change than any liberal vegan ever would, veganism is just slacktivism in disguise.

Now, regarding health benefits. There is a conflicting information about the health benefits of the vegan diet but I assume it's better than just eating junkfood and certainly won't hurt. I am concerned about its cost-effectiveness and dependence on the market compared to freeganism though. Freeganism is potentially less healthy than veganism but it gives you more financial autonomy and is cheap. It carries the anarchist principles really well.

>>22628 (me)
With that in mind, I'm not saying that state-enforced veganism is ineffective. But it's not gonna happen, it's just a wishful fantasy that some government will adopt such policies. Just like banning proprietary software is Stallman's wishful fantasy.
