Hi OP, older philosophy teacher here, as far as politics is concerned I'm Epicurean. It's a perfectly legit position. Politics is a place when irrational people pursue irrational aims. It can only bring issues or worries or enemies. Fuck politics, I only care about friends and people who I actually know and meet and talk to.
There's some French scholar who was asked : "So, you're an expert on Epicurus, but Epicurus doesn't care much about politics - don't you think there's an issue here ? - And the guy replied : Well, no, I don't have to show respect towards something that doesn't deserve it, there's no reason I would care about politics." - And he argued that motal philosophy (or whatever kind of 'practical' philosophy in general) was enough. You don't need political 'beliefs' or anything.

Did minimalist Ruwen Ogien write anything about politics, btw ?
Sinon tu peux être chevènementiste aussi, say pamal

Have you read this before? How did you find it?

Can /lit/ recommend some books on contemporary politics?

Preferably from the left.

Pic related.

The Communist Manifesto
The Coming Insurrection

Can /lit/ recommend more inflammatory political rhetoric books? Nothing too bogged down in facts or reason, just rhetoric.

Doesn't have to be left-leaning, by the way.

Thoughts on this book, /lit/?
