Guys how can I be pretentious or cool like you?

I've read all of the books my fellow plebs recommend, such as the classics (The Odyssey) and the stereotypical 'great works' of literature (Hamlet to Atlas shrugged). In addition I've read heavily into historical texts.

Recommendations on how to be patrician like you guys please... the life of a pleb is hard on this board .

I'd start with Das Kapital, but whatever floats your boat.

Thanks bro. I disagree with the core tenets of Marxism (likely an unpopular opinion on here) but it'll be good looking at it.

>>6377027
Sounds about right. But for one who likes to think and argue for himself (disregarding the effect upon his popularity) do you have any recommendations?

1. Learn Koine Greek well enough to read the New Testament (a few months, a few hours a day, and you should be set)

2. Learn the Hebrew required to read the Old Testament (about the same in difficulty as the greek)

3. Learn Latin and read a lot of Catholic theology, encyclicals, bulls, history, etc.

4. Join a holy order. If Marx caught your eye, the Jesuits are nice. If you're a bit more intelligent, the Oblates of Saint Francis of Sales are the friendliest priest-level order.

4b. Optional -- Ambitious, and ignorant of that Summa Theologica question #131 you read sometime in part 3? Become a diocesan priest, and strive to be a bishop. Study the sermons of the popes liked most by the laity over the past decade -- JPII, John XXIII, Paul VI, etc.

5. Die

6. Hope Saint Peter isn't a dick

Just realized that rightfully made me sound like a pleb. I really disagree with socialism and the latter communism.

The stage theory is yet to be proved right in my opinion. Given the selfish nature of humans I doubt that until a time of post-scarcity we will ever have communism or anything close to resembling it.

Yes, but you're capable of that. And you shouldn't start with Capital if you're capable. You should do fragment on machines, contribution to a critique, wages price and profit, then capital.

There's a lot of really good books in the wiki friend.
