Alright /lit/ brainlet here, after being subjected to my coworkers discussing the books they've read during our lunch break I figured I pick a few up and start somewhere.

What does /lit/ think would be the best book to start off with and which order would be best to read them in?

Leviathan.
It is the most foundation text of those you have pictured.

The only communist there is the Marx, sounds like you need to read more.

The doctrine of fascism and the origin of totalitarinism sounds kinda commie to me.

>> No.9490620

What kind of things do you like reading, anon?

>>9490546
well Arendt's book talks about Stalinism as well as Nazism, but-
>reading female authors
>reading female jewish authors
>reading female german-born jewish authors
>reading female german-born jewish authors who blame everything on anti-semitism

Basically it's one long "OYYYY VEYYYY"

The Doctrine of Fascism is attributed to Mussolini.

where the fuck do you work that this happens

The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts are GOAT but you're probably not going to get them.

Definitely start with Leviathan as the other anon said.

>> No.9490694

The Stranger is the most high school. You should pick up More's Utopia and Plato's Republic since those co-workers were absent that lunch break. How does the meme factory pay in summer?

Christ Leviathan may be plainly written but its a real hike to get through. I wouldn't subject it to someone for a beginners read

Nigga linking everything in Nazi ideology back to Jews is sensible. They were the keystone to the mission

Arendt doesn't do that. She blames normies. She's one of the good ones.
