Came to post. There's no more *cringe* autobiographical writing than Confessions, nor positively obnoxious novel than Julie, or Nouvelle H.

best answer

Brecht

I’d have to spin a wheel to decide which one.

>>13266376
I can
Someone else would have come up with the idea

James Patterson.

J.K. Rowling

I mean even if you're going to do that, is Dost /really/ the author with the worst fans?

This power structure/struggle thing is so cynical and is present in all modern leftist dogma, and even in some rightist talking points too.

Marx because it would eliminate all the pseuds that came after.

Imagine a world without Marx influencing pseud continentals? It'd be paradise.

The Art of the Deal made literally zero impact on the world, Trump became popular because of The Apprentice, not because of some dumb ghostwritten book

if you actually cared about racism you could have said Lovecraft, but obviously this was a /pol/ false flag post

What the fuck do you have against Steinbeck you stupid cunt?

Someone else would've come along and made the same observations about money, commodities, exchange, labor, automation, property and ownership. Perhaps the marxist metanarrative and the theory of value may not have had the same aesthetic or political implementation, but similar events would have unfolded due to the accumulated tensions in political situations, independent of theory, and the distribution and acquisition of natural resources would have unfolded along similar lines. Popular revolution could have very well unfolded in Russia without the external ideology of Marx. Perhaps the revolution would have had a mere Socialist metanarrative, or an Egoist metanarrative. Either way a strict soviet hierarchy and police state would have emerged because the material conditions of trade and war necessitated such a structure.

>>13265580
Plato, just to see what would be different

wildly unsupported claim

Multiple writers.
How about Paul? That ought to put a nice kink in history

Socialism would still exist.
Maybe have been a bigger success if Lenin’s gang hadn’t have diverted it so horribly.

Naw. Socialism might have taken root.

It's better to remove Engels, he was the one who bankrolled Marx's writing and was an equal tard ideologically.

>>13270069

This would have been amazing tb h

John Locke. There, you just solved 90% of the world's degeneracy.

>>13270069
Ironic that this whole post is affected by the mistaken Marxist belief that history is predicated by material circumstances and the flow of events is thus inevitable.

>>13265580
Locke

>>13265727
Marx was a do nothing and a leech. It'd be better to get rid of Engels.

Hegel.

This might be the way to go. I thought Harry Potter was genuinely entertaining and harmless, but I think it's probably responsible for a lot of grossly substandard imitations.

St. John.

Mushroom prophecies are gay and have no place in the Biblical canon. The prophecies didn't come true, so now they're reinterpreted to say all kinds of dumb bullshit. Best to be rid of it and have the Bible end after the Gospels and Acts.

>Marxist belief that history is predicated by material circumstances and the flow of events is thus inevitable.

Marxism has this as a principle, but it is not a principle exclusive to Marxism.

>>13269961
You should be erased from history.

Plato. Fuck him. In the ass.
