I left the majority of my collection at my parents' house four years ago and have never gone back to get it. I've gotten a fair amount of books since then but for a good portion of those years just used libraries (cause no money, have lived near main libraries in two towns plus libraries at school, and not wanting to own books I don't care about that much or that I just want to quickly look at). It kind of pains me that I don't have my full collection, but I figure it'll be like a birthday and Christmas all in the same day when I get them all back.

why do i have shelves like this? because i live in an ante-bellum house that structurally cannot take the weight of a 12,000 book library; i have a nice library, but its full of picture books and shit people like to linger around when drinking wine at dinner parties and shit. on top of that, i host people constantly, and specifically keep my library outside the general public view--not only do i find this totally distasteful and against the purpose of the library, which is for my own accumulation of power, but there is a lot of information in the library that i would not share with the people that tend to stop by--e.g. people who also seek power, but for their own purposes

Not that guy but still interested.

I work in government; previously did campaign management work at the state level. Currently doing a public affairs grad program. Fairly familiar with political theory, etc. because of undergrad.

Are there any authors or books you would suggest that help with giving advice on being politically expedient? Obviously everyone always mentions Machiavelli, but I figure there have to be more books like that out there (by contemporary politicians perhaps)?

Also, what books would you recommend for understanding the change of the US politics from around 1900-1950? Think of an increasing in public spending, entering two world wars, prohibition, installing income tax, the early progressives movement, Lippman and public opinion and the likes?

I'm enjoying it, it's semi-autobiographical because it's about Dick's schizophrenic break and Exegesis but he distances himself from it, into third person. I actually meant to buy the Exegesis itself, but on a second look it's overpriced and VALIS is essentially the summary form anyway.

How did you get into reading the Western classics?

And if I were to get into the Chinese classics, where should I start? Cause the only Chinese classics I ever in popular culture are the I Ching, Confucius, and Sun Tzu. Then again, I haven't gone around the Chinese history circles at university, but it'd be like a Chinese person thinking that the only Western works worth reading was Homer and some Plato AND THAT'S IT.

i love carl schmitt--i think the concept of the political is one of the more brilliant political tracts yet written. do i think he overemphasizes the friend/enemy distinction? yes--one could take a machiavellian or pragmatist tact and say that use/usefullness or some other polarity is just as distinctive of the uniquely political. but his attack on parliamentary democracy is exceptional, and his exultation of the hobbesian "decision" as the basis of sovereignty, which is itself the remnants of the judeo-christian (note: catholic) trajectory, is masterful. my copy of concept of the political is reefed in notes and annotations. what are your thoughts? have you read patrick devlin (enforcement of morals), by any chance?

also, please be more specific re: 1900-1950. there is a LOT of scholarship devoted to this time period...

>>12179240

tell me what subjects you want to know about the most--you gotta help me prioritze/triage a little, and i'll for sure hook you up. you want marketing? propaganda? aestehtics/politics? war theory? charisma? trumpism? what you looking for?

>>12177997

please define "political expediency"

there is a LOT of material that looks to give more practical, hands-on political advice, if that's what you mean

here's a small stack of some material i've drawn from before to teach a course titled "contemporary washington politics"--i focus on how power has been actually acquired in the modern era. (not pictured here: ron suskind's "confidence men").

are you looking to run campaigns, field candidates, pass legislation, advance your own career--what exactly? the pictured material is far from the "dark arts" of political manipulation, if that's what you're looking for--though i think this material is often more realistic and informative in the day-to-day of washington politics

no, they just aren't part of the actual lumpenproletariat, like you are.

you really hear a lot of people in positions of wealth and power proferring off terms like "faggot" left and right, huh?

i know you think that you have some conspiratorial window into the real mechanisms of things, that your prejudices are somehow truer to reality, that i am blind, or politically naive, etc. in reality you most likely are poorly educated and suffer from the dunning-kreuger effect, or some other form of cognitive dissonance.

defending the basic civility of an arbitrary demographic doesn't make me a "faggot," it just makes me a fundamentally decent human being concerned with the well-being of my society. the fact that you have to sublimate that into something else speaks volumes to the poison of your soul.

let me make it clear: attitudes like yours are hopelessly exploitable, despite what you might think. i'm paid to exploit people like you--and i do it well, do you know why? because you make it terrifyingly, shockingly easy.

of course you don't hear people with wealth and power using "faggot" because that term pisses off homosexuals and others, and those in power rely (to a certain degree) on the good will of those below them

I actually would like to see the diplomacy stuff picture better. I'm trying to round my reading out a bit.
I'm just starting out as volunteer for the Conservative Party here in Canada. It's so much newsletters, fundraising and stuff that never occurred to me that is part of the political process and reaching out to voters.
Holy hell all this fucking fundraising.

fundraising is central, continuous and non-stop; learn to love it. or at least find real mechanisms that you can rely upon that dont drive you fucking insane.

to be honest, i'm waiting for a solid analysis of nancy pelosi's rise to power/political career. study her: regardless your political orientation, regardless your opinion of her character, she might rightfully be the most shrewd political fundraiser in modern times.

ill give you some pictures of diplomacy stuff soon; here are some more applied campaign management/business course books. a lot of these are basic/barnes and noble level, but there is still a lot of value in orienting oneself, again and again, to fundamentals. this is the most "applied" material i have--if you want more theory or histories (especially american histories) of campaign finance, i can provide some of that as well.

unfortunately, i have yet to encounter anything myself that is currently available to the public re: the full structure of political fundraising. if you can ever find a xeroxed copy, "senate strategy," the blackbook that daschle handed as his gift to obama, covers exactly this terrain. but again, this is truly a document of a type of legendary eldritch knowledge and very few have access to it (i do not, i wish i did; but i have read it).

Just a quick note, I used to have more books but only kept those I judged that I'll be re-reading and that will still have value after many readings. I also stopped buying books save those in the languages I can read: portuguese, italian and english, any other language I borrow from the public library

To be more specific, something that explains the mindset instilled into the public that allowed a change from a more locally oriented power politcs like the monroe doctrine towards more global aspirations. I know there are lots of different aspects to this, like war funds lent to the Entente and anti german ressentiment among parts of the wasp intelligenzia, but something that explains how it was sold to the american public, especially during WWI.
I chose the timeframe because on the one hand, i think wodrow wilson and his administration are crucial in this process, while one of the more notorious books recommended to understand this change of attitude regarding the world was Burnham's the struggle for the world, which was published somewhere around the 1940s if i'm not mistaken.

Also, i did not know that so many of Schmitt's works have been translated into english, i always thought he was regarded as something of a fringe theorist in the us, apart from Strauss.

Thanks, for now I just need to master the fundamentals and try to learn to live with the endless treadmill of raising money for a modern political party. It was just, sort of out of field for me and I only got into the guts of it because apparently they liked the fact that even though I'm a volunteer I show up when I say I will and work on what I say I can work on.

I tend to donate my books to the prison system. Started doing it because of some poor bastard spent 5 years wondering how Treasure Island ended. A fellow prisoner ripped out the last 100 pages of the book, because he felt like it, and put it back on the shelf. All the time it was on shelf, there was no replacement.
Poor bastards.
