What all have you read on socialism?

>>6287519
If you need a book to "destroy" something "crazy," you probably don't know enough about it to actually call it crazy. You're just looking for something to back up your poorly supported point of view.

>>6287528
boring

>>6287530
this and that

>>6287534
the literature on socialism is incredibly vast. It's an impossible task to read all of it, let alone give a precise definition of "socialism".

I'm looking for a book which refutes the action of simply THINKING in a leftist fashion. Kind of like Ed Said's orientalism refutes the action of trying to describe eastern civilizations from a western standpoint.

I don't understand you. It's one thing to subconsciously seek out literature that verifies what one already believes but you're being so open about it that I'm literally astounded. What is the friggin point of carrying on like this? Would you will others (especially those you disagree with) act this way?

>>6287562
Let's just say that I'm currently undergoing a huge paradigm shift (and I'm drunk)

>>6287550
If you think it's something ridiculous, you don't need any more argument to refute it. In fact, you need the very opposite.

You sound like a fucking idiot.

Go back to whatever shit board you came from.

Damn, son. I know just what you need.

>>6287519
has anybody ever told you your fucking stupid

>I just discovered /pol/! LOL! Redpill redpill redpill! JEEWWWWS. I'm racially superior! = ^ ]

/lit/'s full of lefties, you dun fucked.

/lit/ is Marxist central, they won't let you off until you've read 20 volumes of critical theory and everything Marx and Engels wrote. Ignore all the advice these people give you.

does anybody have the original image that OPs picture is based on? I remember seeing it in a history text book a few years ago. It was a Russian political cartoon if i remember right.

>>6287603

the level of knowledge on Marxism is usually so low among its critics that I would be pleasantly surprised if OP has even heard of the book "Grundrisse" and I would be amazed if he's read the entire Wikipedia article on Marxism.

Cultural Marxism exists
Critical theory is part of the Sabbatean-Frankist plot
Get out while you can

Why should he bother to learn more about it if he wants to get away from it?

>>6287607
It's a popular illustration. I know of this one produced by the Wobblies.

>>6287614

This is probably the most sever instance of faux scholarship ever. It is literally based on the NAME of a school of thought and is totally unaware of ANY of its content. Par Buchanan gtfo.

>>6287614
>this is what /pol/-mongrels actually believe

You should try reading the Frankfurt School.

>>6287622
Just dug up the book and found it, that wasn't it but thanks for trying.

>>6287582
No, I'm looking for something which proves it's ridiculous.

>>6287585
no, u

Glenn beck is pleb tier. I'm not even american btw.

>>6287598
nice strawman faggot

>>6287602
>>6287603
Yeah I guess. Still, it was worth a shot making this thread. Any suggestions?

>>6287613
Haven't heard of gundrisse, probably read the wikipedia article on marxism ten years ago or something.

>>6287621
That's the thing, I want to learn the opposition. Please don't tell me "hurr durr you should read more marxism :DDD"

>>6287647

Where was yours published and what was the date? I Always thought the one I posted was cool since its American.

I tried reading her once. A bit too intellectual for me, I don't know why she's so popular. Everyone knows socialism is the only way to have a truly fair society.
