are both volumes of decline of the west by spengler worth it?

Where are you buying yours? I want to find an unabridged copy, but I haven’t had any luck. I think I might be able to get it on Amazon, but I don’t want to betray my political views to the Bezos cabal.

Worth buying or reading

Peak paranoid schizophrenic thoughts. If they wanted to figure anything out about you, they could do so very easily, especially given you're posting your thoughts here on 4chan, were anyone with access can see your IP

There isn’t much. The most Marxist thing he said is that only blood can unseat money. Most of his work isn’t prescriptive, anyway.

Retarded. One of the things spengler loved to do was BTFO marxism. Hating on Marxism was a recurring theme throughout his essays.

He's a socialist, yes...a *Prussian Socialist* which he opposes to Marxist socialism.

Sombart and Spengler both developed their own kinds of socialism and opposed them to Marxism, and socialism existed before Marx, who effectively ruined socialist thinking and herded all socialists into a honey pot.

Marx was fine. "Marxists" were the problem.

Fair enough, but Sombart and Spengler were opposed to Marx himself, and most definitely to Marxists as well.

You cant blame that on Spengler, just the general retardation of socialists, especially after Lenin
