Proof that I am not a commie: Hitler wrote that learning dates is for the most part useless(commies don't read Mein Kampf), the two books of Maccabees don't contain any reference to God (commies don't read so much Bible), without the Superstructure it will never be known if the Base is structured in a communist way (commies don't realize it).

Also, I forgot, books in order of the author:

Nelson L.H. - Biology and Feminism. A Philosophical Introduction (2017) (actually, an infodump on contextual empiricism epistemology with examples from baboon primatology, Darwin's sexual selection theory and sociobiological Parental Investment Theory)

Nitzan J., Bichler Sh. - Capital as Power (2009) (the authors explicitly proclaim that they are leftits and hate capitalism, but the book is valuable as a huge collection of arguments against both mainstream and marxoid economies)

Agamben G. - The Omnibus Homo Sacer (2017) (leftoids absolutely loved him before his covid anti-vac stance)

Believing that people are fundamentally good and it is only their environment/society/ideology which corrupts them vs. believing that people are fundamentally selfish and tribalist and therefore their ideologies are little else but the after the fact rationalizations of these tribalistic impulses.

>retard doesn't understand leftism
Anarchists are extremely pessimistic about human nature and that's why they don't trust anyone with power.
Marxists think it's useless to make generalizations about human nature because it changes with material conditions and culture and circumstances.

American exceptionalism is true in some sense, we are, or were different before the elites tried to make us a worse version of Europe, with hate speech laws and pushing for gun restrictions and a giant welfare state. The truth is, we’re not like them at all, and trying to do so will sap of us of the little identity we have left. Also fuck zipperheads.

>> No.21998083

>>21996915
As per the topic of thread I guess Marx, Bakunin, and Rousseau if he counts. Maybe Agamben, but it was his theopolitical works mainly
