Nietzsche.

He is according to hitler at least: “I can’t really do much with Nietzsche. He is more an artist than a philosopher; he doesn’t have the crystal-clear understanding of Schopenhauer. Of course, I value Nietzsche as a genius. He writes possibly the most beautiful language that German literature has to offer us today, but he is not my guide.”

I actually have two serious philosophers with fantastic, absolutely clear and light prose (discussing deep, philosophical matters mind you), but you know what?
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKING GOMMIE TARD with you bait thread.

If you like Lenin then just stick to Marxists, no other group of philosophers writes quite like them, at least in my experience. The Marxist curriculum is pretty large though but serious contributions mostly cease after Che, every now and then one slips through the cracks though. Early Zizek being a good example.

Having read a whole bunch of Hitler's book I can inform everyone that Hitler was a petty bourgeoise conspiracy guy in the vein of a white genocide anti-vaxxer, and was also a textbook debate guy who spent his time attempting to own the Marxist, proletariat, day laborers he ended up working alongside because while at school he thought, erroneously, that he was too cool for school.

His writing have a poetic style to it. It reads like a novel unironically

Is this a joke? Marx repeats himself ad nauseam

Lenin reads like the guy who thinks he has owned everyone on the internet by posting a bunch of data tables out of context.

The Sapientia Veterum is so much underrated

[Anonymous No.22328966]

No he doesn't. Pretty much every German philosopher is excruciating to read, with the exception of Nietzsche

Brumaire and Critique of the Gotha Programme are very easy to read and understand.

I have his book on the theory of comedy in my TBR stack. If he writes as well as he speaks in Why Theory then I'm in for a treat. Ryan on the other hand would benefit from downing half a xan before recording
