/lit/ - Literature

- The Art of War, Sun Tzu
- The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli (for the haves)
- Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky (for the have-nots)
- How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
- On War by Carl von Clausewitz
- Random Reminiscences of men and events by John D. Rokefeller (biography on how he started out)
- Aristotle (teacher of Alexander the Great duh)
- economics/game theory

Another advice:
they're have been so many great leaders before you. Study their lifes and learn from it (who were their idols, influences,...). Because after these thousands of years, most of their qualities/tactics can be summarized into a short checklist ;)

Hey, /lit/, I spend a lot of time on /r9k/ and /k/, which seem to be two of the more conservative boards on 4chan, whereas /lit/ seems to be one of the more liberal.
By "conservative" in both cases I of course mean "batshit insane" and "in pure denial of obvious facts." Though I do sometimes agree with them.
That said, what are your opinions on:

1. President Obama
2. Women's rights and the issue of sexism
3. Class relations
4. Weapons, firearms and self-defense laws
5. War (not necessarily the one/s in the middle east, but war as a whole historically and today)
6. The role of the military in modern society as opposed to past society
7. Abortion
8. Religion
9. The environment
10. Affirmative action and race relations
11. The current plague of mental illness in our society including disorders and diseases such as Asperger's/Autism, OCD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy etc.
12. Drugs, illegal and otherwise
13. Politics today vs. in the past

Pic somewhat related, would you consider him a liberal or a conservative by modern standards?
