/lit/ - Literature

Any kind of historical political science book.

I find Democracy In America to be particularly informative of the different sociological roots of America, but something like Edmund Burke’s writings wouldn’t hurt.

>>12276668
Word of warning : Burke is a politician, so heavily biased.

Tocqueville is more of an impartial scientist than anything else

Hierarchy, or equality.

Your choice.

Anarcho-Marxism is great until you realize the justice system exists for a reason.

>>12277135
Also, read Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey.

It's a presentation of a revolutionary new ideology for the modern world.

>>12276642
Also, that description or leftism is obviously biased towards the right.

Every distribution of the left is a mockery, which isn't actually the left, just what Fox News and the far right projects.

If you want the true left, listen to NPR or go to your local health food store.

Faggot.

The right says pizza is a vegetable because it upholds the status quo and free market values to keep the corporate subsidies in your childrens mouths even though a shit diet is directly linked to adhd. (Exploitation)

The true left pushes for children to have community gardens, growing, cooking, and eating together in order to strengthen communities and empower local citizens to build a stronger tomorrow.

Let's sprinkle a more therapeutic prison system in there along with subsidies for a more environmentally sustainable tomorrow.

Boom, your desired book is right here in this thread.

I understand that OP's picture is oh-so-pretty, but its bias as FUCK.

Hmm, a design conceit which appears to be almost completely wrong. So, get a book about those, OP.

Obviously several problems with the diagram itself.

However...

Symbolism and evolution of ideas:
>Man, Society, and Nature in the 12th Century, Chenu

Scientism:
>Cosmos and Transcendence, Smith

"Revolutionaries":
>Fire in the Minds of Men, Billington

Monarchy:
>The Kings Two Bodies, Kantorowicz

The Idea of the Terrestrial, Man-made Paradise:
>Dante

> Obviously biased towards the right

They're both biased you fucking dolt.

>>12278112
How? Those are actual neo-conservative views.

Are you trying to tell me that they're actually generalizations?

>>12278112
Not who you replied to but IMO it's obviously slanted right. It's highly dubious that whoever designed this type of "thing" is bipartisan.

First off there are the visuals and colors, the author seems to be implying some sort of regression downwards towards the more secular world. Without really needing to say it, the right is much more affiliated with the religious.

Also what would be interpreted as the negatives in the right and left circles.
I've noticed there is a growing crowd of the right who use these self deprecating terms like "muh guns" and "muh constitution", but they aren't really genuinely insulting. It's more a oh look at how silly we are kind of a thing. Whereas on the left you have
1. Degeneracy (A clear insult)
2. Self hatred (Clearly insulting, although I'm not even sure what they're trying to say)
3. Trannies (c'mon)

Maybe I spent too much time on this but this really doesn't scream left or neutral to me. My $.02

>>12278206
Definitely not centrist.

Though he made have a lot of us on the self-hatred part.

That they like to capitalize on. (Because competition versus cooperation based ideology.)

>>12276642
Is this implicating that appeals to logic were what ruled society prior to liberalism? Or am I misintepreting Logos and Anti-Logos. Seems pretty irrational to implicate the golden age of technological advancement and prosperity was the age of irrationality.

ITT: The left whips out its dick.

>>12276642
You should put "Instigation of Class Warfare" in your next version under the right.

>>12277172
How is it biased when it clearly makes fun of both the left and the right

The chart is a produce of pseudo history or some dude tried to fit complicated history in a small box.
Either way, no wonder right wingers are disconnected from reality, I bet you're also a Romans 13 bootlicker.

This is completely irrelevant to the point of the image. It is laying out the "ideological" chronology of Western political and religious thought, not the specific historical causes detailing its course. The shift to the modern Liberal worldview is symbolized in history by the Renaissance, the Reformation, Humanism, etc. For example the French Revolution isn't meant to communicate a particular cause per se, rather it demonstrates an effect caused by the fundamental altering of our civilizational disposition.

>Makes fun of both the left and the right.
Hardly, the weight of the left is much heavier and directory than that of the right. The only thing that seems to be making fun of the right is Tolerance. Americanism is a slight #2, but authoritarian nationalism is an actual issue on the right. We refuse to adopt proven policies because they're 'unamerican.'

The Case Against the Modern World: A Crash Course in Traditionalist Thought
by Daniel Schwindt

I'm enjoying reading it right now, and besides being good in itself, it gives a tradton of references to follow.
