What book would cause the most havoc if the masses read?

[Anonymous No.13039117]

What books would cause the most social conflict if the masses read them? By conflict I mean a an uprising against the current establishment whether justified or not, shootings, etc.. What would be the worst books for a mass of people to read and act out it's philosophy? Let's assume the books are not misinterpreted as well

are we assuming they suddenly have the ability to understand difficult texts? that's the main problem, they're too dumb to understand anything truly revolutionary, which is why they remain the way they are, not knowing any better.

if they are all suddenly genuises though, just make them read the bible. normies generally do not larp in religion, they keep their sensibilities mainly because they got unironically baited by this shit. so now everybody is a genius, they lose faith in god since they don't do the intellectual larp, become fedoras, and society goes further into the humanistic hellscape and thus niggers are setting cars on fire in downtown NYC by this time tomorrow unto perpetuity because morals are completely dead and everyone has embraced the beast

This is the correct answer.

Schmitt is complicated. This book is a right wing super weapon. I’d hope it could inspire something better than Hitlerism or basic bitch ethnonationalism, maybe for something more in line with the vision of his biggest influence, Juan Donoso Cortes, but I think you’re right and his ideas would light whatever powder is dry and lying around. Could be horrible, or brilliant.

Didnt read the og manifesto but read Antitech Revolution. It is extremely weakly argued in a lot of respects. The most solid argument is the idea of a self propagating systems ruling society and how little we actually influence them.

His argument for a revolution is delusional and srlf contradicting according to his own precepts and rules. Beyond that his own argument of self propagating systems defeats a revolution of that type.

Lots of important ideas but normies will reject it for being too obscene and most intelligent people will reject a lot of it, especially the revolutionary agitation, and for good reason.

It's a base argument for system of totalitarian utopia as a direct criticism of democracy. If most people read Plato and internalized his arguments, the blind worship for our western democracy would diminish in favor of some sort of enlightened dictatorship.

Of course Mein Kampf or Starship Troopers present similar argument, but I'm not convinced the overemphasis on race or militarism respectively would make it that palatable for the masses - Plato being much more sober when it comes to that.

Karl Marx stole all of his decent ideas from Friedrich Schiller and the German Romantics.

Communism is a Jewish plot to facilitate the creation of a New World Order in which every Jew will have 2,800 goyim slaves, as according to the Talmud. It is no coincidence that the vast majority of communist revolutionaries in Germany and Russia were of Jewish ethnicity.

The Communist Manifesto is trash for edgy undergraduates.

So far, everyone here is wrong.
There is only one thing that would cause radical change, and that is minimizing the amount of people working. A book like pic related, if even a quarter of everyone took advantage of it, would fundamentally change society.

This, unlike the useless drivel presented thus far, requires nothing drastic, and people have a rational incentive to engage in it--- FREE MONEY.

This would cause the most havoc all without a revolution, without even lifting a single finger.

Of course democracy is conditioned. However the illusion presented by democracy is at least somewhat congruent with almost universal values of decency.

When it comes to ethnic genocide and militarism, most people will recoil on the grounds of basic golden rule - it's not very nice to genocide populations based on race (separation/segregation, on the other hand is almost inverse sentiment - see white flight, apartheid). Neither perpetually initiating pointless conflict as a matter of central policy would fly anymore.

I read the og, i find his criticism of technology totally agreable, but you're right on wrt its problems. In one of the early chapters he makes a distinction between small changes that only forestall the inevitable trend of history, and large changes that dramatically alter its course forever.

He provides no rational argument for why his revolution would be that large change, when it clearly would be the small change potentially writ large, in how many years it takes humanity to recover.

But as long as pursuing technology gives some individuals/population an advantage, it is pretty much inevitable it will be picked up on again after the revolution.

Magna carta.
Literally has nothing to do with the foundation of a free society. In fact it even has policies in it designed to oppress jews and peasants. Only 3 clauses of the magna carta are still legal. In fact magna carta only became relevant after the 1900s when esoteric liberals strawmanned it into a holy relic of ancient english liberalism.
