Capital doesn't propose any extensive system for society, you half-wit. It's not The Republic.

I only saw I post degrading the human race. What did you see, fun?
Well we know what Marx is famous for, don´t we?

You can doubt as you doubt holocaust, history is fact, my friend.
>>6583350
It was his sick ideology, so he is the mental founder.
>>6583342
Right, I got the same picture.

>>6583379
Marx did not formulate an ideology, he formulated a critique of the political economy, partly inspired by already existing socialist and anarchist ideologies.

>>6583383
Well,obviously he was the "best one"
You are right, I think it´s critique to found a theory, ideology and shit which is responsibily for the death of 200 million people.

>>6583389

You obviously have a shallower understanding of socialism than I do. Best stop posting and go read some of it. Maybe Harvey

>I´ve also read "About the jewquestion" fucking fascist socialists.
Fascists are liars as much as the Bolsheviks, but the Nazis put the real socialists in prison and camps too. That pic/info-graph is horrible. These guys appear to be in a breadline. This is at the collapse of the capitalistic economy. Relying too much on "free markets" and the gold standard.

Choose too many novels and you'll only produce a worm-like thing that can only live in fantasies.

For that purpose I have included assorted textbooks, as it is not enough to teach ideas and allegories: you must also teach skills.

What do you mean by educate? Depending on the answer, I could or could not include textbooks to teach functional knowledge such as science and math, but I'll assume you mean a more philosophical basis. I'll keep my list to only books that I've read or have. There are probably better books than the ones I have but I'll only include the ones that I've read.

>The Holy Bible
Its the central theological book for Christianity, and thus is the backbone of understanding Western culture and morality.

>Plato's Republic
Plato's ideas are the baseline for Western philosophy

>Animal Farm
Introduces effective the concept of double think, and how semantics can be twisted.

>Brave New World
Describes how our own debauchery and complacency may be our undoing.

>Frankenstein
Describes a scenario of science going to far, provide thought for why sometimes we should restrain ourselves as we march forward to progress.

>Around the World in 80 days
Will give the reader a sense of adventure, a belief that fortitude can overcome adversity.

>The Odyssey
Will make the reader thirst for glory, inspire them just like how Alexander the Great was inspired.

>The Alchemist
Will teach the reader to follow their hearts.

>The Prince
Teaches the nature of politics and human nature and how to obtain and retain power.

>Don Quixote
Teaches how illusions of chivalry and other traditional concepts may make a fool of a person.

No, Hitler is a socialist as stalin was. Even after war Stalin never sadi Hitler wouldn´t have been a socialist. Hitler stopped the capitalism during weimar republic.
He just wasn´t a marxist. He was nationalist.

It was socialism for the industrialist and it was authoritarian.

Yes, the Soviets were also authoritarians. Not making any excuses for them, they aren't what many of us mean when we talking about communism, socialism and Marxism.

You have a lot of reading to do >>6447794

Living under capitalism is very comfortable. Most of us have jobs and can afford decent things. My neighbors aren't being sent off to Gulags either. all your examples happened over 50 years ago when the bumps were being flattened out, and besides none of those people have anything to do with the actual capitalist theory, they are just crazy individuals who did their own thing.

>>6583277
I only need The Holy Bible

Homer – Iliad, Odyssey
The Old Testament
Aeschylus – Tragedies
Sophocles – Tragedies
Herodotus – Histories
Euripides – Tragedies
Thucydides – History of the Peloponnesian War
Hippocrates – Medical Writings
Aristophanes – Comedies
Plato – Dialogues

>>6583509
>>6583505
my homies

>>6584633
lol
only like 5% of the entire world is "living confortably" under capitalism.

>>6584667
maybe niggers should stop reproducing then, what do you think ?

>>6584673

>racism on /lit/

you're new here, aren't you?

>>6584678
>worthless rhetoric
People who are not able to raise their child in a good environment shouldn't reproduce.

>>6584678
>implying he's wrong

>>6584685
yes, because that's the problem here

>>6583277
A History of the Modern World by R. R. Palmer should definitely be on the list

>>6583488
I'm not sure if this is autism or just idiocy

>>6583493

This list is awful. First of all, BNW, Animal Farm, Frankenstein, and 80 days are not even top 200 books, let alone the ten books you would educate someone with. If you assume that we're looking for philosophy, why did you only list two philosophy books. Also, if you love Orwell so much, why not 1984? And for glory, definitely the Iliad, the Odyssey is about adventure, and Alexander the Great kept a copy of the Illiad at all times you pleb.

And

>Teaches how illusions of chivalry and other traditional concepts may make a fool of a person.

fuck you.

>>6584678
Wow anon that's pure ideology

>>6583302
replace Descartes with Spinoza and Adorno with Deleuze

>>6586374

same guy, here's my list.

I'm not trying to provide important or influential books, just educational. Also, since a single book can hold the complete works of a philosopher; I'll do philosophers instead.


Plato - Dialogues
Aristotle - esp: physics, metaphysics, nicomachean ethics, and politics)
Kant - esp. Critique of Pure Reason
Homer (not a philosopher but you have to read him)
St. Augustine
Kierkagaard
Descartes
Hobbes/Locke (Pick one, if Hobbes you can honestly read excerpts)
Thomas Aquinas

Disclaimer, I haven't read, so couldn't consider, a shit ton of important philosophers including Hegel, Spinoza, Wittgensteine, John Stewart Mill, and Hume.

Also, I deliberately left out philosophers I am a huge fan of and who are incredibly important such as Nietzsche, Camus,and Satre, since I think they are not essential to a man's education, and should be read only if he's drawn to that kind of philosophy, and frankly, although I personally am, I think it would be better if he were not.

>>6586419

looks like I forgot my tenth. Just to shake it up, drop the philosophy for a bit and read shakespeare, plays and sonnets, esp:

Midsummer Night's Dream
Macbeth
Romeo and Juliet
The Tempest

Platos Republic
Aquanisis Summa Theologica
David Foster Wallaces Infinite Jest
Don Quioxet
Brothers Karamazov
Tractatus by Wittgensteinz
The Joyce Tetralogy
The Bible (god bless)
Homers work
Sophocles Plays

Euclid's Elements
Calculus Textbook
Republic
Nicomachean Ethics
KJV Bible
Micro Econ Textbook
Divine Comedy
Complete Works of Shakespeare
Ulysses
Leaves of Grass

Damn that's hard. These were the first ten but I know the list is lacking.

All they need to read is À la recherche du temps perdu

>>6583292

>Stop liking what I don't like!

>>6583493
>>>The Alchemist
aAAAAAAAAAA

>>6584673

Eugenics is a better term, and more easily argued. Kantian ethics says no, Utilitarianism says yes to the evolutionary pressure towards making us better, so long as biodiversity is preserved. Nichomachean just depends on whether or not you care about robbing peter to pay paul.

I say no, solely because you can't really ensure the massive biodiversity humanity has over long term eugenic programs without far better genetic engineering than we have today. Also, I'm kinda Catholic.

>starting with Haskell
I started with Java mate.
I was young and I was dumb.
But eventually, yes, I
did see the beauty that was and is Haskell
as well as that of Lisp.

Educate is a really broad field. On what? Literature? Schools of literature? Schooling in general?

I'd say for music I'd include Stockhausen's notes and David Byrne's How Music Works
