Just a literary genius with views well-received by /pol/lit/ical types. There's a bunch.

That would be The Corroding Empire, by the great Johan Kalsi.

it's surprising that you asked for three, opie, because i generally keep one genre fic, one literary fic/classic, and one non-fic in my stable at any given time. is this common?

Politics is just an extension of aesthetics. If you value beauty and grace, you're a right-winger. If you resent beautiful and graceful people, you're a left-winger.

The Hegelian dialectic is no longer in use because we use empirical observation which corrupts a lot of Karl Marx's works, thus it would be extremely idealistic and not humane to force orthodox Marxism on people and would not work as you would be left with not just overthrowing Capitalism but forcing people to overthrow an entire expansion of discoveries and new methods gained through observation and experimentation for orthodox Marxism. For example we will never have a great abundance of goods as our entire economy is build on the proper distribution of scarce goods, so the post-scarcity is not going to come. It would be the same as implementing Ayn Rand or Adam Smith to today's world, we know from our gained knowledge that this would not work and that those people would never wish to see us try were they alive today, and as you said neither would Marx. There is a reason why neo-Marxists have rejected and distanced themselves from orthodox Marxism and why the Austrian school is no longer in use after a small revival in the 70s.

Thoughts on Mishima? What works of his would you suggest?

>>8432855
cool—i don't know much about hindi except for the old religious texts and epics.

the difference between dan brown shit and what i recommended is pretty stark—"the once and future king" continues to be one of my favorite books because it's a reflection on innocence and morality (much like either/or, in fact, except it doesn't talk about opera). narnia has some of the most profound theological arguments i've ever read, closer to plato and boethius than aquinas [i don't know if you're a christian or what, though].

to be sure, there's so much trash YA shit out there, but the classics are classic for a reason. there's no shame in reading these children's books as an adult, *especially* if it's in a foreign language.

"ivan illyich" is great, and once you read it, you may want to progress to "crime and punishment" or "fathers and sons", but if i could convince you, i'd tell you to check out what i suggested first.

Post author interviews, lectures, or anything else /lit/ related.

Is there any Japanese writing post-1900 that isn't "born in le wrong generation/the Meiji defener"?

Solid list lad.

How does /lit/ decide on what edition of a book to get?

Do you write down your thoughts on a book once you have read it, or just think about it mentally?
