Who is the left wing equivalent of Nietzsche? Who is the edgiest leftist philosopher or philosopher who can be read and/or interpreted as left wing?

Foucault? Zizek? D&G? Sorel (pre-fash)? Even someone like Plato, Plotinus, or Spinoza?

Oops with the sage whatever

He's often accused of misquoting the historians he criticizes. Whether that's true or not is something I am too ignorant to tell you.

I remember someone from the leftypol area posted a Soviet historian, named Zoloyev (Zolotev?), but can't find him. Apparently was really, really good.

>>9843
He's a loser

for no real reason really.

How much did the german historical school of economics influence the russian revolutionaries? Did they reject it or embrace some of it? I do know lenin "admired" the german empires economics system, and I do know bukharin wrote a critique or etc on it but besides that how much influence was there?
2 posts omitted.

>>19839
Well there's no direct references but bukharin does appear to have studied them extensively which answers part of your question

I suspect your intuition of there being more is correct

>>19840
yes which is why I want to see if people here know other sources or etc. If not well theres always personal investigation.

>>19842
Sure I'm also planning on having a quick dig into it and if I find anything I'll post it here

>>19843
thanks

>Blanquism refers to a conception of revolution generally attributed to Louis Auguste Blanqui (1805–1881) that holds that socialist revolution should be carried out by a relatively small group of highly organised and secretive conspirators.
<Blanquism is distinguished from other socialist currents in various ways: on the one hand, Blanqui did not believe in the predominant role of the proletariat, nor did he believe in popular movements—instead he believed that revolution should be carried out by a small group of professional, dedicated revolutionaries, who would establish a temporary dictatorship by force. This dictatorship would permit the implementation of the basis of a new order, after which power would then be handed to the people.
>In another respect, Blanqui was more concerned with the revolution itself rather than the future society that would result from it—if his thought was based on precise socialist principles. Blanquist thought rarely goes so far as to imagine a purely socialist society. For Blanquists, the overturning of the bourgeois social order and the revolution are ends sufficient in themselves, at least for their immediate purposes.

If the proletariat is not a viable revolutionary subject, maybe the revolutionary subject is the self selected revolutionary himself or a vanguard of likeminded people?

Why was Blanquism never persued in any significant way? Maybe Blanqui is the real thinker for our times if the Hegelian-Marxist notion of a revolutionary subject is dead?

because its a wikipedia ideology

How are you going to establish such a transitionary dictatorship without any popular support? It could be theoretically achieved by getting high ranking military personnel on your side, but there is nothing we can offer them that the ruling class couldn't.

>>19082
Correct.

Most nonfiction books often directly or indirectly reference socialism or promote socialist policy

What the fuck is a youtube male?

History as a whole is not a fascistic or reactionary field. There are however, historians with reactionary biases, either because of their material interest (an aristocratic historian like Gibbons would be biased in favor of the Roman establishment, for example) or because of deliberate government agenda. The insane "patriotic history" genre is a good example of this (i.e this figure in Serbian history is actually Albanian, Genghis Khan was a dharmic warrior crushing Muslims, Black people actually enjoy slavery)

The attempted appropriation of ancient Greece and Rome by Nazis to bolster their fabricated white chauvinistic identity doesn‘t make ancient Greece and Rome as topics something intrinsically Nazi.

nazis are too busy drawing chvdjak gemmies and turning into meat cubes in donbass to study the classics. To the extent that they engage with the classics at all, it's to photoshop roman statues into their fashwave wallpapers. Reminder that Marx as a classics major and inherited dialectics through Hegel from Aristotle.(Mod notice: last post from moved thread, this message will be removed later)

Don't ask how, but now I'm responsible for a club of high-schoolers that are self-described "baby leftists" and want to learn more. As far as I'm aware, they don't seem to be as lib-brained as I expected(though they certainly still are to some extent), so I really don't want to mess this up.

Apart from the classic reading lists of /leftypol/, what are some other accessible texts(history especially, because some of the AP history and english teachers here are quite anti-communist even by lib standards and their curriculums reflect that) that I could give them and expect them to get through?

>Also give them stuff about what they can do as individuals day-to-day, then as a group, and then organising, etc.

Not OP, but any examples, ideas, texts, etc? I've found labor organizing guides like the attached pdf, I know the IWW has some too. Does anyone have any texts or ideas for the inter-personal tho?

Graeber’s 5000 years of debt
Bullshit jobs

Society of the spectacle also feels like it could be added to that list - not incredibly difficult but also a good entry into harder concepts imo

>>10691
give baby leftists the materials they need for a good understanding of marxism, rather than a watered down version thereof. the most important thing is history. annales school stuff like civ&cap is accessible to anyone with a brain cell and will set them up with an idea of what "material conditions" really means.

Civilization and Capitalism by Fernand Braudel
