i doubt america will pull out the nukes, and even if they do, nukes are largely over blown. also, russia has a strong backing of iran. an american-iran war could easily cause wwiii, which america will not fare well in, going by the millennium challenge 2002 and the recently released afghanistan documents. the future looks bright imho.

There's too much meme shit. What the fuck does the Quest for the Grail have to do with fascism? It's a literature study expounding on pre christian religious elements. The Fourth Political Theory is an explicit rejection of fascism. Then of course you include that glow in the dark Mason because you never actually read any of these books.

it's really not. he is just creating a less nationalistic form a fascism, one that is more empire based in a sense. he has to reject the term fascism for purely legal reasons.

i read most of the iron march book "next leap," which despite not being amazingly written, did provide a good synthesis of fascist material and i found much agreement with it. now i am diving deeper into fascism.

i've also read (forgot to mention) "the green book" by gadaffi and half of "democracy the god that failed" by hoppe, so i've been exposed to other ideas. not to mention, im exposed to liberal-capitalism every day of my existence, considering that i live in america.

The right is actually far more varied as far as ideology goes.The left consists of near identical ideologies that simply pretend to be varied. The difference between Marxist leninism, Stalinism, Socialism, social democratic and communism is not even close to the difference between Monarchism, Fascism, Liberalism, Libertarianism, Democratic Nationalism, and conservatism which are all massively different in their own ways. The only one that even sticks out amongst the left is social democracy and that's just because its capitalistic. All the others are practically the same system with 1 or 2 differences. Comparable only to conservatism and liberalism on the right.

Just stop doing this shit, you are like those myopic marxists that only read anything that agrees with their confirmation bias.
Any educated person should read a minimum of the western canon before even daring to call himself anything.
Yeah, this is a /pol/ list but it is really solid, the only fault that I find in it is that there aren't enough anarchists /socialists and that epistemology isn't really explored as deeply as it should.

Just add these books to the list in their corresponding time periods:
-Discourse on the Method + First Philosophy
-An enquiry concerning human understanding + The principles of morals
-Freedom and Possibility + Monadology
-Baumgarten's Metaphysics
-Prolegomena + Critique of Pure Reason
-The Unique and its Property
-Any communist/anarchist/socialist of the 20th century just to see how their reasoning evolves.

With this you can easily branch out to the "ideology" that you fancy the most.

evola would never have admitted it but his worldview in revolt against the modern world is deeply similar to blavatsky's - if he was not directly influenced by her it is clear they have genealogically similar roots (blavatsky was influenced by hyperborean esotericism and nietzsche). her book is a bit of a mess but it spawned lots of offshoots (like ariosophy. see: guido von list) that ended up influencing the third reich directly.

the thing about post structuralist arguments is that they are almost never rooted in some deeply held, actionable belief about reality, but in skepticism alone, so when debating someone using such arguments you have to find a way to point out why their skepticism is unfounded based on how they conduct themselves, and how any ethical imperative based on their main premises (facts dont real, what even is objective reality lol) is impossible. most of their arguments are just dressed up personal attacks (lol u only dislike fat clowns raping kids in libraries because u were raised to dislike it bigot) so you have to get dirty with them and expose them for what they are. never anticipate they will engage with you looking for truth or something like it.

Well, some people might not like my opinion but I would say that no greek historiographical work is really important. I always felt that the inclusion of the Peloponnesian war wasn't that good of a choice when you are leaving out Plotinus, Hume, Schopenhahuer, etc
Metaphysics/epistemology/ontology are the foundations of any political system and it's pretty damm obvious that lots of authors sidestep this issue because of fear of having their systems crumble down.
