So, I'm a leftist.

I'm not only a leftist, I'm the whole package. I'm what a Daily Mail reader who quotes Churchill imagines a leftist to be.

I'm green, pro-political correctness, a secularist, a pacifist, a feminist and to some degree a marxist. I support immigration just for the hell of it, because I hate the idea of nations merely reflecting ethno-linguistic groups. I'm a vegetarian. I usually vote for parties that proposes a socially progressive welfare state, but I think it's not enough and if we really want to progress as a species, the replacement of market anarchy with rational planning and some degree of common ownership instead of liberal capitalism are essential. I think comedians like Jim Norton and Adam Carolla sound petty and desperate. I think Tarantino should lay off the word "nigger".

This is the thread where you will recommend me literature that will help me out of this orthodoxy in any way you can. I never liked the idea of being 100% on one side, so I think I can afford a few concessions.

I'm not talking about rants on immigrants and how leftists just want "things for free!", and I'm not talking about Milton Friedman youtube clips. I want to know what the intelligent right-winger reads. Anything that can change my position on a certain question is valid, therefore I welcome right-wing views on abortion, climate change, any particular war in recent history, economics, philosophy, nationalism, pacifism, capitalism, socialism, feminism, marxism, multiculturalism, capital punishment, religion, etc. The best right-wing pieces of literature you've read, I want it.

I'm sure I can count on you.

The globe is sadly groaning with debt, poverty and strife
And billions now are pleading to enjoy a better life
Their hope lies with resources buried deep within the earth
And the enterprise and capital which give each project worth
Is our future threatened with massive debts run up by political hacks
Who dig themselves out by unleashing rampant tax
The end result is sending Australian investment, growth and jobs offshore
This type of direction is harmful to our core
Some envious unthinking people have been conned
To think prosperity is created by waving a magic wand
Through such unfortunate ignorance, too much abuse is hurled
Against miners, workers and related industries who strive to build the world
Develop North Australia, embrace multiculturalism and welcome short term foreign workers to our shores
To benefit from the export of our minerals and ores
The world's poor need our resources: do not leave them to their fate
Our nation needs special economic zones and wiser government, before it is too late

This is the best answer you're probably going to get. Allan Bloom, Plato, Chesterton, are good, Evola is esoteric and kind of wonky. As an aside, McIntyr will probably interest you too, he's basically a contemporary Aristotelian and if you're as left-wing as you say you are, a lot of his ideas will probably clash with yours on morality and ethics (specifically, the idea of "subjective" truth/morality, etc. that seem common to the left).

Hey OP, I'm a leftist too, but I still believe in free markets. So I would like you to read the libertarian socialists. Look up:

Pierre Joseph Proudhon
Kevin Carson
Mikhail Bakunin

Free markets are perfectly compatible with socialism, some would even say (including me) that socialism is inherently more free than capitalism. There is value to freedom, and I think there is value to free markets as well.

You should also definitely read "The Choice: a Fable of Free Trade and Protectionism" by Russell Roberts. As you will see, neoliberal "free trade" is NOT free trade, and not representative to free market principles.

Right wing plutocrats love to talk about the value of the "free market" and "free trade", so I can understand why you might lean in the direction of centralization and planning. But what they really talk about is usually not an actual free market.

Finally, the first thing I think you should read is an essay by the above-mentioned Kevin Carson, called "The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand". It's a really good read and I think it will help show you why free markets are valuable to the Left.

Seriously, I will be so happy if you start reading all that stuff I talked about. Have at it OP, and report back in a bit!

I just realised the other thing wrong with your outlook: you assume that there is a simple dichotomy between left and right. In reality there are many different opinions, and the simple 'left-right' paradigm tends to conflate issues that really have nothing to do with one another - there's no particular reason why two people who disagree on economics should disagree on the death penalty, yet in practice it tends to become a tribal thing. Again, I suggest you go on an issue by issue basis instead of seeking books which give an overview on the whole topic or on the whole of right-wing philosophy altogether.

Read basic economics by Thomas Sowell. By no means do I think his entire viewpoint is accurate, he's very right-wing economically speaking, but this book is good in that it outlines some empirical research in left wing policies gone wrong. He's also African-American and a former Marxist. The first few chapters of the wealth of nations is also a good read on how a small society organises itself. Then once you're done with that, check out Paul Krugman's blog, he's a moderate leftist, and very enligtening.

The Bell Curve and pretty much the whole (public) career of Hans Eysenck and Arthur Jensen (both immensely eminent psychologists).

They make a very strong case for the biological heritability of social stratification.

Some learnings of modern economics could dissuade you from calling the market mechanism "anarchy".

Here is a PDF of Jensen's "The G Factor":

http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/The-g-factor-the-science-of-mental-ability-Arthur-R.-Jensen.pdf

It's a pretty bland series of information and data, it's intended for for a specialized academic audience. Still strongly recommended.

Read some stuff by Flynn if you want any coherent criticism of Jensen's views on race. Avoid anything by Gould, Rose, or other quacks. There are probably others beside Flynn, but just steer clear of anything with a polemic or aggressive tone.

Sounds like a chick, in which case just ignore everything which follows.

If not, I guess read Mill's On Liberty, esp. chapter 2, for an as-yet unrepudiated argument for unrestrained freedom of thought and discourse. Then read http://www.chomsky.info/articles/19801011.htm..

Also Hans Herman Hoppe is pretty good on several fronts you've mentioned.

For radical individualism and pacifism and other effeminate philosophies which reject vitalism and masculinity, an early version of Junger's Storm of Steel, Hamsun, Mishima's Sun and Steel, Ortega's Revolt of the Masses, Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals. Maybe Evola if you want to get more esoteric.

Against revolution and 'popular sovereignty', Leviathan, then Gottfried's book on Schmitt, then Schmitt, either skipping directly to Constitutional Theory or reading his shorter 20s works, all of which are easily pirateable and recently well-translated. Also Donoso Cortes' Essays if you can find them.

On the integrity of the nation state (or political units in general) you could read Schmitt's 1950s- work, but really, just take a look at human history instead. On why immigration sucks, Kevin MacDonald's Culture of Critique series, and Malthus (lol).

The nihilists were exactly the Bazarovian idealists that Dostoevsky was rebuking. Dosto is directly challenging the kind of utopian revolutionary ideals the nihilists and their fellow travellers (including to some extent the 'opposed' Slavophiles) held. He wrote the book largely in response to the 1869 murder of Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov by Nechayev, who was an extreme expression of these movements.

Maybe you mean more traditional philosophical nihilism but he's definitely responding negatively to the most shocking outgrowth of the Russian 'nihilists' (Turgenev's 'sons'), in the traditional sense of that term in this context, in the late 1850s and 1860s. As was everyone else, after Nechayev.

I do not believe there are contrived limitations on the success of the individual in a capitalist society.

The distribution may be problematic, but the stratification process itself is radically efficient in enacting its systematic principles. People end up where they are very largely due to their personal decisions and these decisions are largely projections of inherited mental tendencies.

If I'm being a moron and not "getting the point", feel free to elaborate.

If you REALLY want to understand rightwing thought process you first need to open up your mind a bit and start as tabula rasa, as if you just now learned to read. Throw racism,misogynism and other -ism out, anythig goes.

If you want something light, start with this :
http://www.thedarkenlightenment.com/the-dark-enlightenment-by-nick-land/

Moldbug's Open Letter (in the same link I posted) is a good read but he takes quite a while to get to the point. Nick Land might be a bit verbose for your state. Also, ignore the childish name of the movement.

But I'll have to admit it makes my inner 13year old self happy. And everyone has his inner 13year old.

I want you to remember this picture when you wake up in South Africa 2.0, and I want you to remember that it legitimately is the fault of you and people like you, and you will have no one else to blame.

I also hope you die. I know that's brutish and cruel, but I feel like your voting is so irrevocably detrimental to society that the only way to fix it is to remove you. You probably won't believe this, but I'm sorry to say I wouldn't care if you died.

I'd recommend, if you're into political philosophy, reading something by Leo Strauss, a Heideggerian who is highly regarded by a lot of conservative theorists.

His "Introduction to Political Philosophy" essay is utterly fantastic.

His work is not, in and of itself "conservative", but his theory plays a role in more "right wing" intellectualism.

Economics in One Lesson by Hazlitt

strongly opposed to islam (incompatible with liberal democracy)
antisemitic to a certain point
anti-SJW nonsense (muh triggers)
catholic but focus only on the teachings of jesus christ

>proceeds to list a completely arbitrary set of beliefs.

At least you understand that your beliefs are so arbitrary that the only point you can make in their favor as a collective is a simple, "think like I do".

I don't actually see any inherent problems in the core tenets of fascism, it just seems like any other political system to me, but I can't take the national socialists seriously if they're going to pretend that anyone trying to pass off the first draft of anything as publishable is acceptable.

Marxism is a guide towards praxis. If you're not in praxis, you know shit.

p.s.: keep reading althusser you bourgeois tools, it keeps you out of the movement where you can do harm.
