Kolakowski's Main Currents of Marxism covers the developments in Marxist thought all the way down to the Frankfurt School

The Dialectical Imagination is a good overview of the Frankfurt School

Left Hemisphere is an okay introduction to leftish pomo

Also read about how leftism was infiltrated, misled, and channeled into its modern day cul de sacs by certain people who were fighting a culture and propaganda war against the USSR in the 1960s. Remember it was in their best interests that leftists be crypto-bourgeois pussies constantly whining and crying about oppression but never actually doing anything or becoming communists.

Haha many more far leftists have been "psychotic" than far rightists throughout history. Have you read the book? Bolton is a mediocre writer but the primary sources he quotes speak for themselves.

When did I say anything about Trump? And yeah of course, neonazis in general are mediocre blockheads who have never produced a single beautiful or intellectual work. It's an ideology for crude dipshits that don't even understand what capitalism is (or how they are inadvertently serving it for that matter)

literally none of your suggestions are obscure, do society a favor and kys

>>16943710
Actually Rousseau really might not be a bad place to start, because Marx's rejection of his premises in "the Legislator" is a sort of skeleton key to Marx.
