What are your favourite books about gloriously throwing off the chains of opression, anon?

They don't have to be political. Anything that captures the spirit of fighting to change something for the better on a grand scale will do.

in terms of a more general finger to the man, vanegheim (fuck knows how to spell his name) is better than debord - his work is more focused on the ways of being antiauthoritarian and free in everyday life. Debord is more dense and political, with a more specific message (not to denigrate him, just that i think that that is less specific to OPs question)

The Chinese People Have Stood Up by Mao Zedong. I'm not a communist but it's genuinely inspiring and bone chilling. Also, it's a speech not a book.

Mein Kampf.

Inspiring as fuck. Austria is a real shithole, a country without direction or hope, and this little son of a mid-tier functionary drags himself up to uniting the Grossdeutschland and freeing Germany from dependence on, oppression by, and fear of its neighbours. All because of tenacity and foresight.

Why is the left today so full of pussies who hate the idea of working class people with guns more than anything else in the world?

Because the last time the West took up guns it was the RAF and BR; neither of whom had a strategy for proletarian violence.
