any good books or essays on why leftism haven't taken hold in the modern era?

Does this look like literature?

Why do we allow ourselves to be ruled by people that get their entire worldview from a storybook written by illiterate bronze age goatherders?

why do leftists always side with the establishment and always sound like they're half-knowledged on any given subject?

Is he really the greatest thinker of the right at the moment?

I haver refuted Marx but the margin is too small to contain the refutation

Is this real??

I watched the F Gardner interview on the Killstream from the earlier meta thread. When is Gardner going to be on Rogan? He is terrible at announcing dates. I like him but every time he does something he seems to spontaneously just do things without giving us clear dates

Is there a book that explains what communist would do since AI literally exists?

Why was late 20th century French academia full of nonces?

Who is the best booktuber?

Thoughts on authors who just write the same book over over and over again?
>Beneath the Wheel
Hans Giebenrath, a talented boy sent to a seminary in Maulbronn. His close friendship with Hermann Heilner, a more liberal fellow student, is a source of comfort for Hans. Heilner is expelled from the seminary, and Giebenrath is sent home after his academic performance declines as symptoms of mental illness develop
>Demian
>Emil Sinclair is a young boy raised in a middle class home. Accompanied and prompted by his mysterious classmate and friend 'Max Demian', he detaches from and revolts against the superficial ideals of the world of appearances and eventually awakens into a realization of self.
>Narcissus and Goldmund
>Narcissus a gifted young teacher at the cloister school, quickly befriends Goldmund, as they are only a few years apart, and Goldmund is naturally bright. Goldmund looks up to Narcissus, and Narcissus has much fondness for him in return. After straying too far in the fields one day on an errand gathering herbs, Goldmund comes across a beautiful Gypsy woman, who kisses him and invites him to make love. This encounter becomes his epiphany; he now knows he was never meant to be a monk. With Narcissus' help, he leaves the monastery and embarks on a wandering existence (just like Knulp)

How do you get "axe" out of "ask"? Just fucking say ask? Am I crazy?

>spicy food is GAY

Why are people like pic related publishing books with big 5 publishers and acting like egotistical asshats on the internet? Do they have no shame? Where are the genuine writers who didnt jump through nepotism hoops

POV: It's the 16th century and the Catholic Church found out that you have been reading the Bible.

Apparently it looks like F Gardner, notorious antisemite, is preparing to go on Joe Rogan's podcast. How come we can have threads about Gardner all over /lit/, but any thread of other authors gets shut down immediately? This feels super inconsistent and honestly very biased. If we're going to allow discussion about someone with such a controversial reputation, shouldn't we at least be able to talk about other, less controversial authors too? Just feels like the mods are picking and choosing who we can talk about and it's not making much sense. Meta thread, I guess, because this is more about the board than the books.

How do I so thoroughly drown myself in my hobbies like reading that I just forget about being an incel and the sorrows associated with it?

>"And I'll say it again for those in the back: Fuck Christianity. Fuck this oppressive religion that has insisted on pushing its irrational, oppressive philosophy onto everyone in the world for two thousand years."
He's right, you know.
